Any of yall Windows dudes upgrade yet? I'm not totally sure what's going on but I think it's downloading maybe
Any good? Any bad? I'm currently backing up my music & what not so I can do a whole clean install with it
Pretty much turns any computer or tablet into a portable Xbox one for anyone who owns one since you can stream the Xbox to Windows 10 which is pretty snazzy. Don't really know anything else about it though. Hope it ain't garbage trash junk.

i wont be upgrading simply because updates are manditory and automatic in the regular versions. you can only turn them off in the expensive 'ultimate' edition or whatever they're calling it.
its ironically making windows 10 less secure though, and forcing people to download updates and drivers that cause OS and graphics card crashes. so im guessing that will change soon and they will let people turn that shit off. i might give it a shot then

I won't upgrade to a new windows ever, willingly. The last time I upgraded willingly was from like 98 to ME. Left a really horrible taste in my mouth and I vowed to never do it again. If I have a stable version of windows that's up to date enough to run everything I need, I'll stay with it no matter how old it is. I didn't even wanna upgrade from XP to 7, but did eventually although not really by choice. When it was time to get a new computer, before I built them myself, they were all windows 7 standard and I didn't wanna shell out the extra money to buy XP. I've grown to love 7 so and have the install disk, so I'll probably keep it until it stops being supported.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

if it ain't broke don't fix it. Ain't shit windows 7 can't do, or shouldn't be able to do with regular updates, no need for a new OS other than for more NANNY STATE backdoors to invade our privacy.
fact that they are giving it away for free should tell you enough to stay way the fuck away from it, obviously full of invasive shit

Not sure yet if I want to upgrade or not on my good laptop. I have this Compute Stick with "8.1 with Bing" and I'm not too attached to that OS. Supposedly it's eligible for the upgrade but I haven't seen the tray icon for it show up yet.

So do you just download it, install it, restart and everything is just like I left it but with window 10, or does it reset absolutely everything?

your programs and stuff will still work. at least the vast majority of them. its not a fresh install or anything
remember how they used to release 'service packs' for windows? its like installing one of those basically

Windows 8 actually did have noticeably faster speeds. Windows 7 had a better interface.
Windows 10 seems to be the best of both worlds and being able to stream my Xbox directly to my laptop & future tablet is a pretty big reason for me to upgrade alone. I could be like at a hotel in fuckin like I dunno, space er something and turn on my Xbox from a fuckin tablet or laptop and like play it and shit. That's pretty neat.

I had no indications of it really either, I had to right click the windows icon on the bottom right of my screen and then click like something and then it started like a secret download which is Windows 10. It's like literally like impossible to get without knowing exactly what to do it seems, very bizarre I hope I'm downloading it right...

Nah, I'm just personally doing a back up and full clean install for personal reasons, you can upgrade and keep all your stuffs.

ive been using 8.1 on my gaming pc since it came out. hasnt slowed down an inch. in fact, i get more points per day on F@H than i did about 6 months ago. so new drivers have actually made it faster

obviously you've timed everything to know this for sure, and new drivers have nothing to do with what i said.
As you use an operating system, add app's, delete apps, and in general, using it, it will slow down, period. why, because the registery gets bigger, fragmentation, file corruption, ect ect, lots of reasons, they all happen, inevitable, period.
