Thats awesome! I wonder just how far we can bend it! for the record the official system requirements for the tech preview are as follows.

  • Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster

  • RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)

  • Free hard disk space: 16 GB

  • Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver

  • A Microsoft account and Internet access
which are the same for windows 8 operating systems.
 
I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 pain free. It did uninstall my nic drivers but it took 1 minute to reinstall them in device manager. Overall it seems slightly more responsive than 8.1.

Iv wanted to try this but Iv been struck with cold feet. did you do an inplace upgrade was it your main rig? everything went ok? 3rd party programs good?

Main rig, I haven't found anything that isn't working. Using catalyst 14.9 drivers, I started the upgrade then left so the upgrade went fine.

Did you have AV? because my experience with upgrades in the shop is that windows usually bitches about 3rd party AV software.

Intel GMA driver installs fine in 7 but not 10 :(
 
I like it so far it seems like a step in the right direction.

Me too I have it on a laptop right now and Im really digging the implementation of multiple desktops. It really helps on single monitor machines. I like the start menu alot more than I thought I would. though it may be just my system/touchpad drivers the charms bar reacts oddly sometimes showing up when I skirt the side of the screen and sometimes not showing up at all when I move my cursor to the edge on purpose.
 
Running 10 on a Gen 2 Hyper-V VM on my Win 8.1 machine. So far so good... using an Internal switch with ICS sharing to my WiFi as using it with Onboard was creating connection dropout issues. The start menu is ok..so far it's nice but doesn't seem all the revolutionary. I may need to create a bootable drive and use more direct hardware and have full access to all my resources, at this point it's limited to 1 core and 2GB (dynamic). I dunno. So far it seems ok, it's pretty fast, honestly so far seems like 8.1 with a start menu + metro apps combined. I do like how the color themes and outlines look too. I like the super narrow borders. It is just a Tech Preview, but can't say it seems all that different from what I'm already using, though I also happen to like W8.1 with Classic Start, I'm sure 10 will do just fine and impress me eventually. Time will tell.

Update: Running MBAM 2.0 without issues. Just ran my Ninite run, got chrome, runtimes, adobe, libre office and MBAM installed. So far 0 issues.

I agree my hesitation was more toward the scale of it when slimming the apps down I found it just as intuitive as other versions of windows. I also don't think its revolutionary but I think it offers a good balance of both. I think atleast judging by this preview Microsoft hit the nail on the head already with the UI changes. I think the adoption rate will be huge for 10 going by the UI alone because its not a huge leap for either camp 8/7
 
Ya...honestly this feels like it should've just been 8.2 to me imho. Maybe there are enough changes to justify a new OS... but one thing they will have is pushing DX12, whatever else they are touting as a 10-specific feature (I haven't really been reading up on it...I'm in no rush to move on yet). It's nice, seems to run fine...I wouldn't upgrade my main OS with it or anything like that. It's stable...but I'm only doing the basics with it thus far.

Honestly I'm more excited playing with my AsteriskNOW VM and making SIP phones play nice. I was hoping that 10 would elicit more than that...so far...meh.

I'll give them a good job on the UI...but that's not enough for a new OS imho. And it still resembles 8 enough that it seems kind of pointless...on the surface...for a new OS. I'm sure there's plenty behind the scenes, and again like I said before, time will tell.

:toast:
 
PRTG is even working ... sorta.... thinks it's disconnected then reconnected when it's clearly been staying connected... hmmm
 
Anybody played some games on it yet?

Warthunder now needs compatibility mode for some reason(Windows 8 compat mode)

Fallout works fine, 3D via tridef works fine aswell.
Haven't tried more yet
 
Just to let your know : I encoutered a weird bug at work with this preview version : I tried to integrate the machine in our microsoft domain, and since then the VM keep restarting as soon as it reach the login screen:

then 10 seconds after :

Well it doesn't play at all with Virtualbox. I did get it working last night, but now on boot it just throws error codes at me.
 
Can't download the enterprise version. Installed Akamai as per their instructions, selected a save location, and nothing happens. On the black status bar at the top of the webpage it says it's downloading, but nothing actually is...
 
i am running it off an old Lenovo ThinkCentre at work equipped with a C2D E8200, ECS G31T-LN, 2gigs of Ram, and Seagate ST3320820AS 320gig drive and Widnows 10 x86 runs great no lag or anything...

only thing i was looking a little wierd at was the driver for the Intel G33/G31 onboard GFX wasn't installed, just right clicked and clicked on update driver software and it found it in a fine time, not quick as an ssd but still good speed.

Installed on a Lenovo C2D N500 Vista laptop and installation and booting (HDD) is so slow, I didn't remember!
Once booted it is very fluid.

So far,
1) I miss METRO, really! I am totally used to it (work all day with a personalised metro start screen, stock "apps" are of no use to me of course) Going to test the workaround later.
2) The Search Icon in the taskbar is like WTF! You click it, it is slow ... of course, it is loading some hot "trending topics". Why omg!?
3) I told the setup to not sync my Onedrive desktop preferences, etc, nor anything, but after first boot my desktop background picture was there... ,LOL

And VMware Workstation says I can't do VT-x... Sigh.
 
running on my main rig, only problems ive encountered are CPUZ and ELEET dont work in 10, my daughter played Sims 4 just fine and my GTX 680 and the drivers are playing nice with 10 so far :D CRU even works and my screen is o/c ed again in win 10 :D

Do you feel relatively comfortable running the preview on your machine until it expires? Not too fussed about utilities, but if general software like steam and chrome work fine and dandy alongside games, it sounds like a legitimate beta stage.
