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
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).
