Is it time for Windows 10 already?

sneekypeet · Jun 1, 2015

Was sitting here surfing TPU and I noticed something pop up by the time and date.
Seems I am being prompted to take on Windows 10 through my Windows 7 OS.

Anyone else seeing this yet?
Of course it seems this just reserves a copy, but I wonder if it is even worth bothering to pre-register for it, when it is supposedly free when it does go RTM.

no, but mine is not set to auto update, but i have noticed the little flag more than i normally do saying i should change my settings which to be honest i have not seen for some time. Maybe if i put it on auto it would do what yours has done.

sneekypeet · Jun 1, 2015

Mine is just set to notify, not to auto, but it may have something to do with it, but this is also outside of Windows updates and the Action Center.

RandomSadness · Jun 1, 2015

Yes , had mine 1 hour ago.

Funny, but I don't find a box under my chair

AsRock · Jun 1, 2015

As soon as i put mine on auto install POP, so i guess it's going bug people until you do upgrade ?.

FordGT90Concept · Jun 1, 2015

You're seeing KB3035583. Remove it if you don't want GWX ("Get Windows 10").

What's concerning is that the dialogs make it sound like there's a limited number of free upgrades and there will be no more after they are consumed. Why else would Microsoft go through the trouble of making GWX and phrase it the way they do?

R-T-B · Jun 1, 2015

It seems to only do this to people who have automatic updates enabled.

I hope I can register some other way... because I hate automatic updates. I want an ISO download and clean install, as well.

Sense of urgency. Upgrade now or have a vaguely phrased but unconfirmed risk of missing out forever...

It of course, is available for a year, as they have said. Otherwise they'd have lawsuits galore for lying to the customer I'd think...

sneekypeet · Jun 1, 2015

As said before, mine is not set on auto. All I do is allow it to notify of them, and I tell it to download and install manually.

ShiBDiB · Jun 1, 2015

Running the beta RP/TP whatever.. there's almost no reason not to upgrade to this

Strange. That's my exact setting and I just did a fresh install minutes ago to the latest patch and updates... have yet to see it.

I get SO many crashes with Catalyst + Windows 10... HD 6950 and whatever the latest WHQL driver is... Its not Awful as far as OS' go, but its not as "comfortable" as I feel 7 is.

well its a.....beta?

my cat isnt crashing thankfully.

Pill Monster · Jun 1, 2015

Too many bugs to use as a main OS imho latest build is a ,nice improvement aesthetically though.

AMD drivers still have issues with EDID data........ hope that gets fixed soon.

Looking forward to RTM.

R-T-B · Jun 1, 2015

I'm willing to bet a lot of you having issues with Catalyst aren't using a WDDM 2.0 driver. That would explain at least some of it. Though, WDDM 2.0 drivers are only available for 7000 series forward atm, so I can't really blame you.

thats probably it. Im not having issues but im on a 290x and I do not use the drivers from AMD I use the WDDM 2.0s given to 10.

My only question is if we can do a clean install or not. For my gaming rig, I want to format and do full OS install.

AMD has fixed it through windows update. Have tons of issues about AMD catalyst but after the recent AMD update, it was already fixed. my 290's are showing wddm 2.0 thru dxdiag.

Would be looking forward to windows 10. DX12 to be exact.

R-T-B · Jun 1, 2015

Yes, DX12 really is the best part, isn't it? lol.

Don't get me wrong, the OS isn't that bad, but I'm really wanting DX12 more than anything...

Pill Monster · Jun 1, 2015

I don't know how it would be possible to install drivers other than WDDM 2.0 on W10. If the drivers are whql they must conform to the design considerations laid out by MS. This was introduced with wddm. Then in 1.2 a feature score was added describing the capabilities of the gpu. W8 if the drivers didn't support 1.3 the basic display drivers was used

So....the drivers have to support wddm independent of the hardware device the drivers are written for.. Basically that means backward comparability..... That's my understanduing of it anyway...feel free to correct me.

R-T-B · Jun 1, 2015

I've installed everything from WDDM 1.0-1.3 on Windows 8, and everything from WDDM 1.0-2.0 on Windows 10, so no. It doesn't work quite like that.

EDIT: My update thingy just popped.

Well here's what what msdn says....how did u install the 1.0 drivers on W8 and W10?

If display hardware is attached to a Windows 8 computer without a driver that is certified to support WDDM 1.2 or later, the system defaults to running the Microsoft Basic Display Driver.

R-T-B · Jun 1, 2015

It may have to do with having to disable driver sig enforcement, dunno.

At any rate, the 1.0 on W8/W10 driver I did was for my dad's thinkpad, which features a X1600. There is no WDDM1.1 or greater driver available for that, only the legacy WDDM 1.0 Vista driver, and yet it worked with full resolution and 3d acceleration. I'll post screenshots later if neccesary. Not sure why MS is saying that as it's clearly not the case (at least not with the appropriate work around).
