Nope! Windows 7 runs perfectly for me. Why make my life more difficult?

I'll worry about it if it's the current preferred OS if/when I eventually update my computer.

Was thinking about doing it. I rather dislike windows 8.1 which I am saddled with now, so as long as the update doesn't kill my lappy, I don't really have anything to lose.

I hear it's better than Vista, which I've had to put up with... so.. can't be that bad.

The install was a bit of a wrestle, and still isnt perfect.
My computer is slower but im not 100% sure why

Its better than 8
Everything is better than vista

Well its now windows 10.
You have to upgrade first, then later, you can do a clean install if you want.

Its just nice to have a proper start button again

Windows ME users would like to have a serious discussion with you.

I'm holding out until I get a new machine. My laptop is four and a half years old (and replaced the hard drive December last year) so while Windows 10 SHOULD run well on it, I don't see the sense in installing a O/S over the top of an old one (I'm more of a fresh install kinda guy) onto a older machine.

Plus there will be things they'll have to sort out.

I 'reserved' my copy but nothing yet.

These are my first impressions as it only finished installing like 1am last night:

- It failed to recognize my Nvidia card properly so it gave it a generic 'VGA' driver so everything looked big and crap. I had to download and re-install the driver.

- Like Morg, I found it to be slower - It seems to spend more time crunching on the HDD - However when I check Task Manager, I don't see any single service/application taking up so many resources to cause it. Hoping that is only a passing thing otherwise it may be a bit of a killer - You expect at least the same level of performance as Win7 on a decently specced PC that is above the recommended requirements.

- The interface is familiar to Windows 7 users so not annoying as crap like Win8. Start menu that opens an apps/explorer folder - Easy and familiar enough

- This is aesthetics only so open to opinion - I don't like the theme in which windows look 'simplistic' like if drawn by a pen and a ruler (try opening calculator on win10 for an upfront example). To me it still looks like trying to emulate an Iphone but retro which to me sucks ass. This is the 21st century, I don't need a hipster OS which wants to be retro but does it wrong.

- You can't just magnify Window content (like Apps) with Ctrl-plus (+). You need to have this annoying 'magnifier' app window floating around which you have to click on to activate instead of shortcuts (as far as I know).

With Killer Instinct confirmed for W10 I'll upgrade for sure later

I've found that my own copy of Win 10 has tried to install and failed... 7 or 8 times.
(I know there's a work around, but I'm more interested in finding out the cause )

Having this occur I think may be somewhat of a blessing, however, as the number of issues and qualms that've been popping up since release suggest that rushing head-long (Even with knowledge onboard) might be worth avoiding until such a time they're remedied &/or rectified.

Funny that apparently 90% of I.T. businesses in Australia are looking to adopt the O/S, its "Free" upgrade cost being a factor I wonder?
