I reserved my spot for Windows 10 yesterday, my friend told me it was good and anything is better than Windows 8.
Wait, YANOOB. Windows 8, Buggy as all hell, Windows 8.1, Less buggy. Don't ride Microsoft's "Hot dog" and bug test for them.
In a week I'll be making a column chart to represent the data you guys have given to this thread. Reasons to... Upgrade: - Latest offers and updates from Microsoft. - Microsoft will focus on Windows 10 more. - More and more programs and apps will be usable (a lot are already). - Stay with the flow. Wait: - Current build(s) (and possible future) look unfinished, lack detail and are missing features other Windows OS provide. - Design looks rushed. - Some updates will be better than the release. Do nothing: - You have adapted to your current Windows OS. - More applications are available. - Windows XP, 7 and 8.1 look beautiful (not Vista and 98, sorry @Requiemst's Consequences ).
I am upgrading my Windows 7 pc to windows 10 but in July I'm getting a Windows 8 laptop and I might be able to upgrade that to windows 10 using a different email :p
The 'free Windows 10 update' icon is gone for me. If you are interested in upgrading do so only on your PC. When you get your new laptop decide whether to upgrade to Windows 10 or keep Windows 8.1. I had Windows 10 for a few days, I did not like the new UI.
theres no reasons not to upgrade. If you refuse to upgrade you will lose customer support and overall microsoft support to windows 7 as it goes offline next year. Windows 10 runs in mostly windows 7 coding just on a much lighter more modern scale. It will have the system requirements of windows 8 with the power and compatibility of windows 7.
I might be leaving my OS on my laptop as my dads laptop what is Windows 8 works completely fine so I might just upgrade my desktop to windows 10.
I still have the icon my screen, people who already upgraded. Can you tell me if its buggy or not? Does it decrease performance, does it increase performance?
The upgrade won't be downloadable until July the 27th or something. When I used the technical build it was fast but the UI was boring. Some programs did not work, but it was a build. I even use Aero Glass for Windows 8.1 to have the Windows 7 feel. I hope my opinion does not effect yours.
sessentially the hard ware requirements are as follows: Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster. RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit) Free hard disk space: 16 GB. Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver. A Microsoft account and Internet access. Now Seeing this thats the bare minimum for just a computer to be classified as a computer. Essentially anyone can run windows 10. Hope this helps u. Windows 10 will only take 10% of your ram for itself the rest is yours to use.
