    Windows 10

    Recently starting getting a free upgrade to Windows 10 notification on my home desktop. Has anyone here had the chance to use Windows 10 and any comparisons to Windows 7 which I'm currently running?

    EDIT: NVM just realized it hasn't actually released yet so probably not many people have used it.

    I could have bought an 11 pull and have 1000 gems left over, but all I got was this silly title.

    From what I read, it's just to unify all MS operating systems into a single OS, including surface Win 8 RT and XBAWX Juan. Not sure if I'm going to get the free upgrade from 7 > 10, but we do get a year to decide.

    Yeah I have 8.1 on my laptop so I did decide to do the upgrade there as from what I have read of the preview tech it does seem to be faster there.

    I received this as well. W7 works great so I don't feel it's necessary to go to 10.

    Even before DirectX 12 becomes the new standard I believe the general backend improvements in the OS are worth it for those that game on a regular basis.

    Pray they extend the support for 7 beyond 2020 if you really don't want to upgrade to a better OS. Once support drops for 7 over the course of the coming months it will just be a beacon of being targeted and exploited and I don't think noscript and adblock are going to keep you safe for long as new loopholes to feed malware/spyware/ectware into your PC.

    Echoing this, 8.1 already does a great justice to those that use the platform for gaming, 10 is only going to make it better.

    I won't upgrade. I cannot be assed to risk the potential of needing to reinstall anyway on my current main system due to incompatability and whatnot with my current setup.

    However, if the need comes to it and I have get a new (primary) system, I'll happily ride along to Windows 10.

    I have win10 preview on my surface. I am actually looking forward to the upgrade on my main pc. They really did listen to the many complaints and definitely fleshed it out. A few things I did enjoy

    multiple desktops, integrated cortana, start menu is back so far it feels really good. I really do not think there will much compatibility issues going from 8.1-10

    I accepted it for the hell of it and I'll wait and see how it goes. I might dick around with it a bit before I build myself a new computer.

    I'd be due for a reformat around that time anyways so might as well be upgrading while I'm at it.

    I was thinking the same. I may install it, but I'm not all googly eyed over it.

    Like any windows product, I so want to wait for Service Pack 1 before I pull the trigger, but no way they will get it out within a year. I'll settle at waiting for 6 months for the initial wave of bugs to get sorted out.

    8.1 on my laptop is okay but I might upgrade. My win7 PC though I just don't feel like reformatting anytime soon.

    OS is on an SSD though and its pretty quick, I'm just lazy.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    It's been in beta testing for a while now, you can find out any/all differences with a search. Runs well, looking forward to it. Only problem is that little task bar icon popup that got pushed out for 7/8 - I'm probably gonna get some of my cousins and friends calling me about it thinking they got infected with something.

    I've been running 10 since the first release preview for both consumer and enterprise. Its been great. The only time I had a problem withbit was my fault and not the actual OS. I think it will be widely adopted pretty quickly, at least faster than W7/W8.
