Topic: Who has Windows 10? - page 2. (Read 1957 times)

I am looking to update to windows 10 but after getting good review from some experts.

Is windows 10 compatible with all previous Microsoft applications?

Till now, I am still resisting the installation of Windows 10, I don't see the advantages greater than the problems.

I tried Windows 10 ( I have OS X and windows 7, so it was something completely new ) and Edge browser is way faster than Google Chrome... your PC is low, maybe?

Not yet as the complaints about privacy are worrying me quite a bit. Not sure if I will or I will give ubuntu a try.

Out of curiosity, are you a developer, or a gamer waiting for an updated Runtime ?

I have Windows 10 locked in a virtual machine. It runs pretty good but the UI looks cheap and it feels like I turned my PC into an oversized smartphone. The only real advantage I see now are virtual desktops.

i would not install that because you are a beta tester in this case.

never change a running system!

no thx windows 7, 7 is perfect!

I have it and its been working pretty good so far. I used the Media Creation Tool to do the upgrades.

The OS is doing great so far, no problems to report yet but...

The Edge browser is really really buggy! Did the Windows Millennium or Vista team build this browser?

Ok after much stuffing around, I finally have this down to a fine art.

And as a side note, if you want to wait till M$ roll out the update on its own then you need to understand 1 thing. If you have a driver that is not compatible with Windows 10 even as a legacy driver then your going to be waiting for a while, they will not roll out the update until all device hardware drivers are compatible with WIN10.

I ended up using the download tool per machine. This ensures that I am downloading only what I need for that machine. Side note on this is as per the normal M$ clusterfuck train ride they offer all users, using the tool may not work for you, this is due to it being region specific. To fix this head to control panel then region (if your using win8) win7 it is under another title. Then administrative, then change the "langauge for non-unicode to English (United states).

After you have stuffed around with that for a while you are ready to use the download tool.

As a side note again, once you have Win 10 all installed and everything is fine. Head to c drive. You will find a hidden folder call "$Windows~WS"

If you want to create a install disc after you have done this, let me know as there is a program that creates a ISO of your install.

I basically worked this out for myself but can 110% guarantee this will work for every single PC. Yes you may in fact be downloading the OS again but my feeling is what was in the Windows~BT folder was a very generic download, whereby downloading it via the tool ensures that what you are downloading is 100% correct for your setup.

As people may already know as this is a update or upgrade, there is no need for a key, this is because M$ are changing the way they do a few things. The update is hardware specific so will only work on that machine.
So creating a iso of that install will allow you to do a fresh install when you want without using a key (just press skip when the time comes)

I have to say however Windows 7 was and is great but it really depends on what you use your PC for as to if updating is right for you.

Windows 10 is perfect, for me it works very good, I don't have any problem, but my friend have some problems with drivers.

For you, yeah, but it looks like all us Round-Earthers are fucked again! 

No problems so far, everything is working great and the install went smoothly.

I have to wait until the Oculus Rift is fully supported, which it is not at the moment ( I think).

Finally I can upgrade it to Win10. It looks weird to me, I guess I'm sticking with my Win7 again. I don't see any benefit of having a Win10 OS.

I already tried it but I don't actually like it. It's always updating.

What is it that leads people to so voluntarily give up their individual freedoms and privacy? Not to mention that installing this abomination is, overall, a major downgrade if you're using Win 7 or earlier. Enticed by DirectX 12? Do not switch to Squares 10, wait for Vulkan (OpenGL's low level successor) to be released and then help pressure game developers to support it.

I had the update fail on me. I erased everything in the software dist folder and forced the update a second time. I hope it works this time.
