will it work on Dell Latitude D430 with C2D? hmm only way to find out is to format and load this.

yeah i have hp with c2d too, i may use it as for fun and easy gaming.
and if 10 could run on it, it would be interesting

you can just unbind all the tiles, and pin your shortcuts to the top list like in win7.

Not the same. But Ill suffer with it if I have to.

OK so i installed my Windows 8.1 x64 chipset drivers and they seem fine

It picked up an X360 controller with no issues.

NVIDIA Users - Auto update installs Nvidia 340.52 and that's working fine along with the RGB toggle tool (if you use it) - Although it also installed 3d vision as well which i uninstalled.

Installed the drivers for my crappy wireless Microsoft Keyboard and mouse combo which did flag an os compatibility warning but seems to be working with full functionality.

Internet is running at full speed and I haven't installed any Realtek drivers so may just leave it like that unless I get any problems

I actually really like the start menu/metro hybrid and is perfect for me as I only really like a few apps to be installed.

Now the serious stuff, lets try some games

Installed it in vmware player (free)

I might toy around tomorrow, but based on screenshots it's basically what I have always imagined it should be. If the Continuum thing works it'll be great. Is the Start screen still present, or can you make the start meny full screen?

brandonwh64 · Oct 1, 2014

Ok I was skeptical at first but after browsing around the interface I must say! Its quite nice and gives a better feel for the new windows to people that are unwilling to learn metro.

You have the option of having the exact same layout as Windows 8.1 with a metro/start screen and desktop or just use the new hybrid.

EDIT - Here's the link to a video that shows you how - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview?os=win10&ocid=welcome_client

I also like the new 4 way snap screen

raptori · Oct 1, 2014

I wonder If all the nice privacy questions during setup will still be there in final release or it will be gone undercover ? ,thanks blobster21 for the pics .

suraswami · Oct 1, 2014

downloading to my work laptop.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 1, 2014

I will be playing too.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 1, 2014

Im sitting here looking through the "Store" and wondering it's purpose in a desktop environment. Hopefully that doesnt go live for desktops.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Oct 1, 2014

I sense a change in the Force. Windows 10 Clubhouse coming soon?

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Oct 1, 2014

I like the idea of having the 4 snapped windows, but how is it going to work with multi monitor setups?

Right after the installation, i landed on Windows 10's desktop : i didn't even ask for it but it's set to autologin with the credential i gave during the installation. i didn't see any option to maximize the start menu fullscreen, nor any start screen (you meant the metro interface ?)

Check the video in my edited post.

EDIT - OK, I've played about 6 games so far and been using the interface for a little while.

Bare in mind I have a dual core, my current Windows 8.1 install is on an SSD and now this technical preview is on my 1TB HDD.

It flipping motors!!! I have gained 3 fps on all my games and using just a GTX 650ti Boost that's a very nice gain lol. Everything feels just that bit snappier (even compared to the SSD setup and so far I'm loving the fluidity/ease of the new start menu hybrid.]

No compatibility issues with drivers at all. Does anyone know of any under the hood enhancements they have introduced? It's probably just lack of bloat (ie updates, security updates etc) but for now this is my gaming os and the SSD install can just be used for the GF's WoW fetish

BTW, games tested -

Alan Wake {DX9]
Atom Zombie Smasher {Open GL]
Trine 1 Enchanted
Trine 2
Mafia 2 {Physx}
Bad Company 2 {DX11}

Nice to hear. Debating putting it on my ssd as well along with win 7.

Your gf has good taste.

I've been playing with it for a few hours could have been about 30min more but i had to make a AIO iso because i just NEED to have all the editions. I really like it so far. I watched the media reveal and im happy they are doing multiple desktops now. I really liked that about linux. They seemed to handle open programs well too when strictly speaking about other desktops the programs have a line under the taskbar to indicate it is running elsewhere I thought that was a nice touch. Detected everything hardware wise fine on my test laptop. Even my wifi during install. Logged in using my microsoft account and it synced everything.

How many editions did it give you with the AIO?

Now if I could just replace Skydrive or Skydive or whatever the hell it's called with Google Drive and not make me log into a microsoft account, id pretty much be OK with this OS.

Let me guess. Win10 will be the only OS to support DX12.

Supposedly 8.1 users are free and 7 users get it really cheap, so it's much less of an issue in that case.

I made the AIO I have WAIK installed. I just used the normal 32 and 64bit editions. I believe their are 4 in total because there is an enterprise version as well (Pro?) but I haven't downloaded it yet.

natr0n · Oct 2, 2014

Using win 10 preview right now on a spare drive.
I can use it just like 7 without hassle.
It's great.
