Is anyone upgrading to windows 10?

[aqibarif74]

I totally understand you living in 2001.

Do you mean me too?

Of course I do. Don't worry though, there's still like 11% or more people just like you guys.

I will wait for now, just to see what other people think and if it is good i will upgrade my windows

Please google "classic shell".

Is this the same as start menu 8, or does it completely get rid of the pointless irritating Windows 8 menu shit?

 

[Supernal]

Hell yeah. Although I hated Windows 8 and never upgraded. I bought a new laptop/tablet specifically for it.

 

[InnovativeSEO]

A little off subject maybe, but I like 8 now after installing a little utility called Classic Shell.
I avoid the app crap, and my screen looks normal again.

I am going to try it on my old laptop but not yet on my main computers.

I'm using 8.1 as a home HTPC running Windows Media Center. Wondering if windows 10 will have a media center? I heard that microsoft was trying to get away from this area..

Users should be unafraid of upgrading because Windows 10 is hardly any learning curve, and the new bells and whistles alone are definitely worth checking out

If my Windows 7 is from torrents and I still reserved the key, will I slide thru and still get the Windows 10? xD

They don't have it, but there is Kodi which is based on XBMC by Microsoft.

"Holy crap. Win 10 is the NSA's wet dream of an operating system. Spyware, keyloggers, botnet functions, all built in."

When they said that Windows 10 will be free I knew there will be a catch Nothing is free!
Now I know it's free Windows + Malware + Adware xD

I upgraded it as soon as I could, as I am always excited about new version of windows. I didn't get the update in my update list so I had to force windows update to give me the update to download .

- Good stuffs in the new version
- crispier and cleaner look.
- Improved search.
- Snap view for multitasking
- Start menu back. I didnt have any probe with win 8 as I was using stardock start menu app in it.
- Games run better.
-----------
So far nothing crashed in my pc. I had prob with touch pad reversing the scrolling but it got fixed by reinstalling elan touch driver.
Good job by Microsoft to for making this big upgrade smoothly.

After bad publisity of windows 8 by the people who didnt want to learn new stuff, Microsoft actually neeed this badly.

It works great, I feel like using Windows 8 but different a skin.

There is no malware or adware on windows 10, I've been using it since yesterday.
