Speaking as an early "beta tester," I have some policy and direction objections, but the OS is hardly beta quality...

8 was. This isn't.

Laptop going first to 10 here. Only really care about DX12. But I need to check for compatibility on some old programs. Got old Elements 5.5. Refuse to update because I refuse to subscribe for any program like Elements. Bite me Adobe!

Right now it seems like it'll be the better move as nVidia is holding back on Fermi and 2.0. Since my lappy is Kepler, it should have 2.0 support first. Get to see performance on that.

Am curious if my 8320 is going to gain any performance with 10, like AMD was gloating about months back, but the lappy has an i7 so I can get some idea from that.

Unfortunately, I can't run Windows 10 overclocked with my G3258 due to an integrated microcode update. I have tried it at stock (3.2Ghz) and it looks and feels like a nice smooth os. I'm going to revert back to 8.1 until I have my new Skylake build up and running at which point I shall have no issue upgrading to what looks to be, a very nice os. :)

I'm putting Windows 10 on my laptop tomorrow night. I'll be keeping 8.1 on my main desktop for now, even thou I have horrible issues with my Wi-Fi cutting out if I start really utilizing it.
If it performs satisfactorily on my hp laptop I'll probably throw it on my desktop. I got my Win 8 Pro from Microsoft for $16 right before it launched. I even snagged a free media center upgrade as well. Not sure if I want to mess that up, it was and still is a helluva deal!

I wait about a month then install it.
While there may not be any day one issues, I'd rather not deal with them. My time is becoming more and more limited to tinker with things.

Personally speaking, it seems a bit rushed. There are odd decisions everywhere, WiFi Sense is highly questionable, the window snapping using the Windows + Arrow keys is nice that it does quarters now, but the way it asks you EVERY DAMN TIME if you want to snap your other windows opposite gets old real fast. Display adjustments seem counter intuitive (if you accidentally remove a display, it's gone and you can't get it back unless you go into the "old" control panel). During the upgrade my NVidia drivers were half initialised so my main DisplayPort display was basically dead for 30 minutes, and my audio keeps resetting itself to 5.1 despite the fact I set it to stereo every time I log in, because I'm using stereo headphones.

Start menu seems pretty great, there are a tonne more menus to delve into. Per display DPI scaling is fantastic now, way better than even 8.1. Edge seems awesome, but I have too much synced with Chrome now so I probably won't ever use it. The whole installing Windows excersize is massively irritating, because throughout the whole process, everything useful is automated. The only parts you get control over is the constant incessant "Hey let us datamine the shit out of you. Hey let us share you wifi with everyone. Hey look at this amazing notification bubble that constantly says you have alerts when you have none. Hey if you don't want Skype that's OK... good luck finding the option to stop us from downloading stuff you don't need..."

Windows 10 would be great, if Microsoft stopped trying to force their "bright" ideas on you.

when you say u cant run it...how do You mean? is it glitchy, or not booting, or unstable,etc...? Im only asking because I was running a sizeable OC when i installed it, and i had Program incompatability...just curious.

It won't boot and won't even install if I am the slightest bit overclocked. A lot of G3258 owners have been moaning about it and it seems some i3's have had the same thing happen.

If run at stock it will install and subsequently run/boot up perfectly fine but no-one bought a G3258 to run at stock :)

(interestingly it will install/boot/run fine overclocked if you only activate one core in bios but it's slow as hell)

Wow...weird , okay then, so it seems to be celeron/i3 specific then...im gonna wait to install W10 anyway. several of MY programs wouldn't work right, or @ all, and some of my hardware was rendered useless.thanks

on another note...Does anyone know if I can load a Win10 Image, and install a "dual Boot" OS? i.e. install Win10 in another HDD other than My C:\ drive? I've run through the steps...but it didnt show a option, and I didnt want to Screw up My Current 7 install.

Interestingly, Gordon Kelly at Forbes came to the conclusion that although the core is good, W10 isn't primetime yet, and fairly lists the Pros and Cons. Ultimately, he says it will be the best Windows ever, but that W10.1 in October is really where we should be looking, since hopefully they will have fixed and updated certain things by then, including forced driver updates. So he's in the "wait a few months" camp. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/07/28/microsoft-windows-10-should-you-upgrade/

I upgrade all my desktop and laptop to windows 10 OS. So far i really like it. After a upgrade to windows 10 and let it validate. i did a refresh install and format the main drive on all my computer and it still recognize my computer and set it to valid .
http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/windows-10-can-be-clean-installed-during-and-after-free-upgrade


So far everything is good, Windows 10 is easy to use, light weight on boost up, it take 10 seconds on my laptop and 15 seconds on desktop. I run test on a few games (CS:go, LOL, Crysis 3, Battlefield 3-4), it really holding up with the game so far. It very smooth with no little hiccup. The Cortana search bar is fantastic. Fast at finding stuff with easy. Its also use less install space than windows 7 and 8. Software that running in windows 7 and 8 are compatible to install in windows 10, so far i don't see any problem yet.

While windows 10 running, i notice some graphics glitch, but disappear right away, i think nvidia need to work on the drivers to fix the issue.

For installation of windows, you dont need to wait. Just go to this site and downloads the tools. then the tool will do the update for you.

Let us know your thoughts when the next borked Nvidia driver comes out, and you have no choice but to have it install for you, whereas prior to W10 you would have had the opportunity to find out from the community it was wonky and just not install it.

I will upgrade if there is a reasonable improvement, I don't do new just cause it's new so I will wait a couple of weeks, read all your feedback and then possibly take the plunge.

I am using it on all my machines, I have no problems with it and upgraded every machine in my house that had 7 or 8/8.1.

Btw if anyone is having trouble waiting on the DL to start in the line, here is the little "Bypass" to get it now.

Go to Windows Update, change the settings by clicking both check boxes under Microsoft Update and Recommended Updates.
Then Change the Important Updates Area to say "Install updates Automatically" on the drop down menu.
Next open up CMD by right clicking on it and saying "Run as Administrator"
Once CMD is opened, type this command (But do not hit enter yet) wuauclt.exe /updatenow
Next go back to the Windows update area and click "Check for Updates"
Now go back to the CMD line and hit enter
You should now be downloading Windows 10.

@Ebo, not really. Check out the details on the workaround. That is not a solution. Mussells has reported how it actually works/not works, and the multitude of steps a user has to go through.

Benchmark Scores over 9000 BungholioMarks, "Bitchin' Fast"
After using 8 on my mother's PC, I absolutely refused to run 8. I must say, from what I've seen and used of 10 so far, I like it, plus DX12 is a huge draw for me once it's implemented in some games. Still going to be on 7 for a while, but I'm not one to hop on a new OS as soon as it drops. I learned my lesson there with ME. Compatibility is also a concern, so I'll wait a few months at least.

I will run 10 once I can and see how it will be on this machine if it sucks I will be back to 7 Pro (after tinkering of course, if I can get Gentoo running this should be doable too).

Keeping W8 on my main until I get working drivers for my floppy... so maybe a week of holding out? I'll upgrade my gaming rig right away though.

You wanna know something brutally ironic?

IDE FDD-style floppy drives still work... including 5.25" models. ;)

Why don't you start your own thread about this and let the community help you? It's probably something like a simple driver problem, perhaps?

Likely. I had an older Pannasonic Toughbook that would BSOD on boot with 10.
