Ramsey Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Is anyone upgrading? If you do, will you have to reload all software? will it wipe all my settings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I am. No it will not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShowHBK Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I already reserved my free upgrade. Been using the preview version for a while. No it will not wipe or nuke your shit. My recommendation would be to disable Cortana as soon as you install. She is to invasive for my taste and not needed. She is cool, but not worth my time to keep around. EDIT: unless you are running Windows XP or Vista... then you can't upgrade for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes I will be upgrading. It shouldn't hurt your existing install, but obviously a clean install is recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm actually doing a clean install of it this weekend on a spare SSD. Some people have reported pretty impressive FPS gains in some games, tempted to test that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've got no issues with Windows 7 so I will probably wait to upgrade. IIRC Win7 and Win8 users can upgrade for free for a full year from release date, so I'll wait to see if anyone reports problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Nathan used the preview on his work laptop for a very long time and he liked it so I'm sure we'll both upgrade. He's a very hard sell. (Windows XP is still on his home office PC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiek2000 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 What the problem with 8. Get one of the Shell programs and it works as good if not better than 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonrottes Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Already registered to upgrade when it comes out. Imo looks like 10 is what everyone wanted 8 to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benner Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm interested to see how it operated on mid level laptops. I've got an Asus q200e I'm wating to upgrade to it, if it sucks I'll simply wipe it and reinstall 8 or drop to windows 7. I know at work, GM sent us notices telling us "DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 10", I had to grab an old laptop from my parents that has Windows 7 on it for some of the diag work I do that requires a laptop while driving. Window's 8 isn't compatible with half our shit we use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 So before I say anything else I want all you damn kids off my lawn... ..good....ahem. So what does windows 10 look like? One of the reasons I have held on to windows 7 is because it looks how I expect a windows running PC looks. It's comforting, it's something I know how to effortlessly work, and it doesn't frighten me with a huge learning curve like windows 8 did. I fear change when it comes to PCs because they are literally a tool and a appliance to me and if I want frills and fancy apps I'll just grab my tablet (or PS3 controller). from what I have seen it is kind of a bland looking version of how windows always looks but is that just a default or can I expect it to be how they all look. I have also seen some shots where they still managed to intergrate what I call "1950s times square" See the resemblance?: http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2678/4367912193_9304eb4931_o.jpg http://az648995.vo.msecnd.net/win/2014/09/Tech-Preview_Start-menu.png so can that be turned off? also, what the fuck is going on here?: https://www.saturnvpn.com/windows-10-last-versions-microsoft-windows/ my lapity toppity box isn't a touch screen so...is it worth it?
