Will you be upgrading to Windows 10?

1 year from now

Alright, thanks. I guess I'll hold off on the upgrade until they thoroughly fix all the bugs.

In my experience I have not seen any bugs that were present in the test builds also DX12 is the bees knees

I would update, but my windows never asked me for, so I guess I will need to find a way to force the free upgrade

I'm waiting to see how PC games compatibility get affected once more people upgrade/switch. Particularly the older ones. A few keepers of mine were broken on 8 so not crazy to think it would still apply to 10 but also not crazy to think it may work better, too.

Yeah, Windows never prompted me, too. Although on another PC I have, it does.

Hmmm, I'll have to look into that when I want to upgrade. Thanks, Vins.

I just reverted back to 8.1. Nope.

I'm fine with Windows 7. I would like to upgrade to 10, but if it's anything similar to win 8 then I wont be upgrading. I have a laptop with win 8 and really don't get much use out of it because I hate windows 8.

No need to wait for the win 10 update app to appear or prioritise you... i did the 10 update last night , you can upgrade and keep you apps n setting n files or do clean install.. must say im impressed ... i moved from 7 to 10 painlessly...

After the antagonizing experience trying to get Windows 10 downloaded/installed via Windows Update (it kept bringing up error after error), I had gone to the same link you provided, wrote an ISO to disk, and ran through that. Took a long time for the actual install on my laptop, but it worked without a hitch. While it kept track of what apps were removed in the process, not all the apps it listed actually were removed. Found it odd, but oh well. I was thinking of doing a fresh install anyways once the upgrade went through and I grabbed my new license key.

Still iffy about installing Win10 on my main gaming desktop though.

edit:

Well, seems I have to wait for AMD to update their display driver once again for Windows 10, because it fails to install on my Lenovo z575 (yes, it's old, but I've had no problems installing via the Catalyst Install Manager until now).

Everybody, I invite you to meet Japan's Windows 10 mascot:

The first two lines of the video, and I already have a problem with Windows 10.
"Imagine - These kids won't have to remember passwords."
"Or obsess about security."

So now all of your children's data is going to be put up in some cloud somewhere, and you pray that Microsoft never fucks up or sells your children out for questionable parenting.

I've already upgraded and I'm loving it! Cortana is so useful and overall, the feel of the operating system is smooth. Still checking things out, though.

The added desktops are a big hit for me, as I can now play full-screen PC games while switching over to web browsing more effectively on a different desktop! Should have added that in years ago.

I am going to get a clean install in my laptop very soon, I hope everything goes well

as long as you have a legit key on a previous installation you should be fine when selecting upgrade with keeping nothing

Also, really neat thing, but if you're playing Minecraft on Windows 10 (The Java-based version, not the WinX beta app), Windows detects it as a game and will offer you video and screenshot functionality and whatnot.

Given the mixed reception, remind me why I should update to 10 again? Maybe in 11 months and 29 days, just before the end of the free update period ends, by then hopefully most of the issues are ironed out. Unless I want to waste a long time going through a convoluted process of having both OSes, nope.

DX12/Cortana/Multi-Desktop/Start Menu/Edge/Built in VE/Xbox One steaming both ways (Steam big picture mode on your xbox one)

Also they aren't any bugs

My GPU isn't new and doesn't support DX12, I don't own an Xbox One, and no, I don't have money to get one lol. So, really, that, and I don't want to lose my installed programs or get driver incompatibilities. Does nVidia even have GTX 660 drivers for Windows 10 yet? Or Realtek for their HD Audio drivers? That's what I'm concerned about the most.

Also interesting note in the installation process here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10

If you look at step 8, it clearly states: "On the Where do you want to install Windows? page, select the partition that you want, select the formatting option you want to perform (if needed), and then follow the instructions."

Does this mean that you can choose a different partition?

I don't want to end up regretting this.
