Hello, I can't make up my mind if I want to upgrade to Windows 10 on day one or not, I have hype for the new windows operating system and I really want to get off 8.1 for a change, but like anything else on day one, things will be broken, but since Microsoft has a tendency to release a good operating system then a bad operating system after each other. (like XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10... 10 is in the cycle to be the "good" OS). But what I'm scared of is getting a new OS for most of my programs to be broken! Like how Mirrors Edge worked on my 7 system, but not my 8! some games and software that worked on XP fine has been broken since 8.1 (I'm looking at you Off Road Drive.) I cant make up my mind, so what are your thoughts? Are you going to wait or are you going the second its out? Are you doing a clean install or just write over the old OS? Are you willing to have Windows 10 for a year for free and pay $120 exactly one year later? I'm curious --- Update --- I've made this a General Discussion page since it appears that this is the only Windows 10 page I can find (unless there is another one that I missed). Feel free to talk about anything Windows 10. ---Update--- Changed the title since Windows 10 is now out in some parts of the world, feel free to mention anything you like about Windows 10! -No "MAC IS BETTER IN EVERYWAY U SCRUB OMG WHY DO YOU EVEN USE WINDOWS ARE YOU TOO CHEAP 4 A MAC LOLOLOL" business. -Keep it to Windows, you can mention other operating systems to compare certain features (like Safari and the new IE), but no fanboying please
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? No, I'm perfectly happy with my highly customized Windows 7 Ultimate. I don't really see a point to upgrading, my SSD doesn't need any more writes than I already throw at it, plus I know my way around Windows 7 better than my hand. I absolutely despise Windows 8, the start menu really isn't the issue, just the idea of apps, and tiles, and whatnot. This is a computer, not a smart phone. Windows 10 seems promising, but I realize I'm never going to use Edge, because I'll have installed Chrome, I'm never going to use Cortana, because just like Siri it's completely useless and I don't like things collecting my voice information, and I'm not going to use the app store thing, because that's what the internet is for. So when it comes down to it, I would be essentially upgrading for... what features? The only one I want is DX12, but nothing supports that yet so who cares. Oh, and if I ever was to upgrade, I always format and fresh install. I still don't trust Microsoft to soft-install an OS. That's what happens when you're raised on DOS, grow up on 95, go through school through XP, and work with 7.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? Jury still out for me. I think I'll wait and see, hell got a year to do it.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? nah I will stick to windows 8. knowing windows 10 would probably be shit so windows 8 for me.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? Nope, maybe and only when i get a DirectX12 graphics card and games actually start using it. So a few years at least. For now i'll stick with windows 7, going to skip the mess that is windows 8 thankfully.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I'll probably do it when I feel un-lazy enough to. Took me months to switch from 8 to 8.1.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I probably will be. I have no reason not to, especially considering I have a DX12 capable GPU, installation of Windows only takes about 15 minutes nowadays, and I can upgrade without formatting.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? Oh, is DX12 capable only on the 900 series? and I thought that was coming to 8.1, is it a 10 exclusive? I might actually upgrade sooner then to try out DX12, I might do tests on before and after.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I know the 980 and 980Ti are, anything else you'd have to check. There's some other weird thing that's called 11.2 or something that most cards will support, which seems to be almost DX12 but not quite.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I will upgrade as soon as it's available. Maybe it will make GTA Vs textures load at more than 1kb/s.(it's really that bad.)
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? Well Microsoft has their own keylogger in Win10 apparently, which is kind of invasion of privacy... So I really don't know. 100% not day one, I am on Win 7, great except for boot time/program delays.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I'm going to upgrade though, i will do it on another drive and keep win 7 as my main until i'm comfortable with win10 not screwing things up. I'm really looking forward to DX12, the benchmarks look extremely promising and seeing as my card is compatible i want to see the benefits for myself. Hopefully if it runs smoothly within the first couple of weeks i will fresh install on my SSD after formatting win7. This is the only OS i have had hype for since vista (oops) so i'm hoping i will get used to it faster. I had the early build on my old laptop but nothing worked (I could never get anything to run correctly without crashing) which is understandable.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? dangerous half knowledge http://lifehacker.com/windows-10s-keylogger-fiasco-has-been-blown-out-of-pr-1642931793 I'm too old for jumping right into the boat - probably will wait 1-2-3 months so customization programs get their time to adopt.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I will be upgrading to Windows 10 ASAP i'm currently on Windows 8.1.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I;ve completed it start to finish on windows 8 without issue. - - - Updated - - - Every tech preview of windows has a keylogger, people just didnt winge about it before because NSA and hacking scandals didnt occupy the headlines. They are always removed in release builds.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? I will be updating my tablet on day one as a test device. But my PC will be staying on Windows 7 for a little bit until i decide to switch that over.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? We have not tested beamng on windows 10 yet, just so you know.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? The developer previews are out so they totally could have done if they had any inclination to do so. It will "probably be fine" though.
Re: Who's upgrading to Winodws 10 on day one? Tech preview is..... Tech preview is for devs like BeamNG to perform testing on.
