Forums - PC Discussion - Are you upgrading to Windows 10?

Not now; I want to see some reception first.

Maybe later this year.

Been using windows 10 for a good few months now and I honestly can say I wouldn't move back to Windows 7(skipped 8/8.1)

Funny thing was that for some reason 7 crashed my PC often(BSOD) but with Win 10 I haven't experienced a crash yet!



Im still on the fence, I really enjoy Windows 7, but I plan on building a new PC soon so I would probably put Windows 10 on that.



"I think it will be the HDS"-Me in regards to Nintendo's next handheld.

Gonna check it out for sure. My dual boot Windows 8.1 is waiting for a clean install. Should be some time though until I switched all my stuff from my Win 7 partition.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I've got a old windows pc that is on the insider program. It only has 2GB and a dual core processor (E2160) it was getting sluggish with XP even after much optimising but with Windows 10 it's fast. Windows 10 is obviously a much leaner faster os and its got a great gui. Games run better and its much more logical and organised than windows 8. It also seems much better optimised than windows 7 plus it has a load of great new features. I've hated Windows operating systems for a long time, often bloated and slow but this seems to me a massive improvement. I shall definitely be upgrading my laptop and main PC with windows 10 in fact I'll be more than glad to see the back of windows 7 and 8. I think Microsoft are worried about competition like Steam OS because they have really put some effort in with this one.

Most definitely. It's new, it's better and it's free. The better question would be "Why are you NOT upgrading"?

I like Windows 7.. and so do my programs.. And as long as MS will keep Win7 secure until 2020.. I have no rush.



I'll be getting it



Makes me so happy to see so many people excited to upgrade to Win10 on day 1, as someone who works in IT support I look forward to being very busy in the coming weeks.

The number of people migrating from perfect OS's into the unknown on Day 1 is fascinating to me, if upgrading from a Home version of 7/8 to windows 10 keep in mind that you are losing the ability to control windows updates completely, if MS want to change your OS you have no say in the matter on Home variants of Win10, just the way that we have a choice right now to migrate from 7/8 > 10, that choice is not going to be a feature of Win10.

My personal advice is not to upgrade until at least the first couple of months to see that there isn't any massive flaws in the OS which will pop up after main stream launch, Could be the best OS to ever exist, but you don't want to be the first ones in the door to find out it isn't if you are running a perfect OS right now.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

Why wait, get it right now



Do I have a choice? Paranoid as always I was checking the process list last night because my HDD was suspiciously busy. GWX.exe was new and running, seems my PC decided to start downloading windows 10 already.

I'll wait a couple of months or year anyway. Current OS works fine, don't fix what's not broken.
