    Default Anyone trying Windows 10

    Im trying to install windows 10 on a computer I bought last month.
    It is taking forever
    The actual installation has been 'stuck' on 55% for a fair while now
    Hope it sorts itself out soon
    Its like, well, watching windows load...

    I signed up for it but am having second thoughts as my 7 year old laptop is slow as a pig. Also my wife needs it for work so she can't really afford for me to mess it up unnecessarily.

    Keen to see how it all unfolds.

    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.
