Is anyone upgrading to windows 10?

[SoccerLover]

I've upgraded to 10, but there is slight issue.
When the windows auto update is on, it download over 100 MBs and when we click on the option to install.
The PC gets reboot
Same issue is there with my laptop and friends computer.
I've downgraded to windows 8 and waiting for this issue to get fix.

The default option is to automatically reboot. You can configure it not to do so. And you don't have to click anything to install the updates, the updates will install when they're ready.

That's Windows full stop. You can spend far too long on admin tasks and not productivity. I have grown to hate Microsoft.

If you did not upgraded to windows 10 I think you should wait because it still has a lot of bugs

The main Windows 10 problem is it's not stupid proof enough.

@FuManChu:
Are you sure you're a "computer scientist" and have "a lot of under the hood technical experience"? I ask that because your post is simply hilarious.

What you talking about? Not one thing I said was false and yes, I am a computer scientist. I went to college for it and I know several programming languages. My under the hood experience comes from delving as deep as I could in each Windows OS starting with Windows 3.11. Through kernel debugging and packet sniffing (Though it doesn't require kernel debugging to see that these things occur since monitoring network traffic is enough) I can show these things to be true. As for all the general information I posted on Windows security and privacy, it's all 100% true as well. I might have guessed some overtly trusting Windows user would come along and try to dispute my post but my recommendations are sound. I didn't post here to argue with anyone or even prove anything. I just wanted to give people a realistic picture of what to expect from a new iteration of Windows.

If you think my post is "Hilarious," I feel sorry for you as I would be embarrassed to make such a post in an attempt to discredit something I clearly don't know enough about as you've done. Go ahead with your Windows 10 install. Any expert in computer security worth a grain of salt would advise against it. This is a no-brainier for me. Being a cautious Windows user, I deal with this on a daily basis.

Edit: BTW, look at the current results of the poll. Majority against.

I see.

A "computer scientist" will NOT tell something like "It has many bugs. This is typical of new major versions of Windows. Just yesterday I was in the windows chat on Freenode and people were complaining about all kinds of things. It usually takes several months before the basic kinks are worked out."

A "computer scientist" will tell the bugs he found.

And there are many other stupid/pathetic things in your post.

However, I have better things to do than to argue with "computer scientists" like you. Good luck in your endevours.

Don't rush into Windows 10. You never want to be the first group of people to give something new a try. If you
don't understand what I am saying, then you are probably still confused as to why NASA sent monkeys into space.

The default option is to automatically reboot. You can configure it not to do so. And you don't have to click anything to install the updates, the updates will install when they're ready.

The default option is reboot and install updates or install updates and shut down

I've selected the 2nd one but still it gets reboot and next time it starts with downloading from 0%.

Quick Heal is not yet compatible, whereas I do not know about other Antivirus.
Counter Strike Game runs in Software mode, Counter Strike Go Needs Graphic Card & even drives are not available.
Same goes on with dota2, I guess we need to wait for more time.

And that happens on 3 systems... I installed it only on 2 and didn't encounter any update problem.

Avira and AVG are compatible.

Do you think the monkeys paid for their trip?

My statement about bugs comes from my knowledge of all past versions of Windows, what other people have experienced in 10, and of any software product and especially in regards to Windows. I stated that I haven't delved into Windows 10 yet. When it was in preview, I installed it once just to have a look and it was extremely buggy so I didn't spend anymore time with it. But if you want hard evidence of my assessment of how people should treat this iteration, simply look at the update history of every other version of Windows ever made.

A computer scientist (As you've so rudely quoted it in an attempt to diminish what has become a life of hard work and accomplishment) has better things to do than install and go bug hunting in a just released version of Windows of all things. I don't work for Microsoft (Thank the gods) but I don't need to do that to show that every version of Windows ever released has faced the exact problems that I described. There isn't one stupid thing in my post as you claim. I didn't post to give a full technical analysis of Windows versions to people, many of whom wouldn't understand it.

I don't even want to debate your ignorance but I don't sit idly by when someone attacks something I've said. You've trolled in here, provided no evidence to the contrary of my post, and attacked me personally for no good reason. The evidence for my claims is a Google search away. If you have better things to do then stop making baseless posts that further debase yourself and go do them.

 

[emgarabedian]

I preordered a couple months before release, and downloaded on the day of release.
Surprisingly, haven't had any noticeable problems! Really didn't like Windows 8 layout so this has been a nice change

@FuManChu:

What an art of making a fool of yourself.

You clearly stated

It has many bugs.

and now you admit you

have better things to do than install and go bug hunting in a just released version of Windows

and

haven't delved into Windows 10 yet

Isn't that funny?

And here is how you started your initial post:

Everyone should read this no matter what you've done or plan to do. I'm not writing all this out for you guys because I have a hatred for Microsoft, just a lot of under the hood technical experience. I won't be upgrading for a while. Take it from a computer scientist (Or don't) but here's my assessment...

When a post is started in that way I would expect a somehow in-depth analysis from a knowledgeable person. And what we can see in your post? That you were on "chat on Freenode and people were complaining". Wow.

And you only make assumptions without knowing much about the OS:

Not all software and hardware will be compatible with it yet. Most probably will be but not all.

What a logic. A 100% compatibility doesn't exist with any system. It highly depends on what you're using it for. I suggest you to return to XP for your games.

I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure I heard that 10 doesn't give you control over Windows Update.

It's funny when that comes from a "computer scientist". Well, it's understandable if you "haven't delved into Windows 10 yet".

a new OS that WILL ship with many security vulnerabilities they don't even know about yet

You know nothing but in the same time you're sure there are many security vulnerabilities. It sounds logical to me.

 

[Drenas]

Upgraded to Windows 10. It feels faster and looks better. The only things that bug me is that I can't change with what program certain files open. Also I can't open winrar anymore.

 

[BallticklersFC]

Give The old BHW Member some break and respect mate or are you from Microsoft.
Just because every body does not write or explain everything in perfect English does not mean he is not a Computer Scientist.
I for one believe everything he says,especialy the privacy bit and spying in a Terror dominated political new world order.
I for one will ride out with Win7 for and untill the last updated drop and some..who cares about windows new versions when the one i got is perfectly fine.

 

[st1ck]

or are you from Microsoft.

Is it you, Sherlock?

Just because every body does not write or explain everything in perfect English does not mean he is not a Computer Scientist.

As I wrote above, I expect an in-depth analysis from a Computer Scientist. I have no issue with others' opinions if their opinions are backed up by facts. In that case, there were no facts.

 

[SoccerLover]

Thanks st1ck for clearing antivirus doubt.
I'll check for drivers and will go back to Win 10
If you've download url for win 10, do let me know.
I'll download it up.

 

[thezeebase]

I wish to upgrade my windows 8.1 to windows 10 ...... The prob is Microsoft is asking for genuine windows 7 .... I will wait for 2 months to get a best CRACKED WINDOWS 10 ...... LOL

lol. Sorry but you're delusional. There has never been an operating system (Especially a version of Windows) that didn't ship exactly as I've described and in the case of Windows 10, bearing in mind the latest iterations of Windows and what we already know of the OS, my warnings are completely logical and valid. I don't know what your deal is but you're probably some kind of fanboy and you obviously have little to no true knowledge of computer security. Your last half-cocked uninformed retort proves as much. Go do those important things you claim to have on your plate.
