Jobba Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I've already signed up for it. I'm going to upgrade when it comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiD Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I refuse to upgrade until at least 6 months after release. There always so many issues with a new OS right out the gate. After a few patches and security updates it'll probably be worth it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chameleon Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Totally going to go with Win10, I can't wait to get my hands on it, but I am something of a Windows fan boy.. Excluding Windows Millenium and Vista because they were nothing but rushed garbage, I have really enjoyed every iteration of Windows.. Sure it will have some bugs and they will have to go through the patch process, but I don't think it would be to the extent of crashing your PC.. Personally I feel like a kid the night before Christmas hehe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanaraud Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Technical Preview aka Beta is around for a while already... So for testing and only testing purpouses you can try it out even now, though a separate partition\disk would be recommended. By the looks of it this one is going to be the worst one: still buggy and crashing PCs 2 month b4 luanch, design is not decided YET, can´t upgrade your PC when Win 10 actually will be available due to ToS restrictions, can´t choose updates as its not optional anymore(disabled already tracking optional update from win8.1), can´t update my drivers as I please: choose betas or old stable one- whichever is most stable with my hardware config. Only MS certified drivers can be installed in the future:O Like da ****?!!! They can´t even get repaired simplest things on windows phone for example and customers should be relying on their crappy driver releases postponed for god knows how long. And don´t get me wrong, was also hyped when the Win10 TP version came out, even tried it out and it seemed to be on the right track as Win7 was but now....

redy. Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 microsoft tends to mess up every second version. xp good, vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad so now we should get something nice I will instantly go with win 10 as soon as it comes out. Cant wait to play with it. BTW Microsoft communicated windows 10 will be the last OS. They will work with updates and upgrades instead of completely new versions. I like the direction they are going with the free upgrade from win 7 and 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redy. Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 I was curious if my PC can handle win 10 and found the following feature. It is part of the window that comes up if you click the icon in the system tray (right next to the clock in the task bar) To get there, open the upgrade window with the icon in the sys tray: After that click on the menu button in the upper left: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futuRe! Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I chose - YES. There is little information on compliance with previous versions, such as the .NET Framework. I signed up because I want to see - this. I always have the technical possibility to return to Windows 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
