Windows 10

[White Room]

Recently bought myself a new laptop recently with windows 8.1, not got the full system on yet but any thoughts on windows 10 as it's only become available Wednesday.

Free upgrade isn't it?

Yes its a free upgrade for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 users. I registered interest a couple of weeks ago. Awaiting download.

There upgrading in waves, the first wave will be to find out if there are any niggles from what I read.

Got a year for free upgrade.

I would hold off installing / updating for a long while yet, still major bugs with it, one of the main ones is explorer crashing the pc, to the point it's unusable, I as well as a lot of my mates ( and others ) have been on it for a long while as part of the M$ insider testing, although I have to admit, I haven't used it as much as others, my go to tech guy is still reporting it as a complete pita ( pain in the a$$ )

I've just been reading up on it , I might wait till I see if any issues arise with Microsoft office 2010.

Did'nt think they were using Explorer, thought it was another bit they had added.

Window's Explorer mate, not Internet Explorer or Edge as it is now 🙂

Edge, that's the one...

Not good for Windows.

My stats show a massive portion are mac users when it comes to desktops or laptops. And nearly all phone/phablet/tablet users as iDevices.

Here's a worry if you have automatic updates turned on.

There really pushing windows 10...

 

[Alan.P]

They're trying, makes you wonder why so hard ? I know from other posts from testers that there are all sorts of data collecting issues as well ?

Haha love the last sentence "on the flip side at least it's not a U2 album.

I have the best version of windows.......... It's a macbook pro. Never would I ever go back to windows. I have had my mac for about two years or so and it's as good as the first day i bought it. I never see the dreaded updates to be installed or left waiting five mins waiting for it to boot up...
