Seven warnings to read before you upgrade to Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system

Microsoft Windows 10: Seven warnings to read before downloading

I've already upgraded and since reverted. It broke vmware's bridged networking the first time. I'll wait. 8.1's solid.

Installed without issues here.

Im going to format, as i prefer to do a format at the same time as a new OS installation, might as well. Hope the pop up comes back when I format. Eventually it will, but i might lose my spot in the queue

I'm still quite new to 7, it's great, I detest Windows 8 so I'm happy to stick on 7 as long as I'm allowed

Anyone with Nvidia and multiple monitors might want to wait.

Dont we get that option when we upgrade to format

Why? I run 3 monitors with an nvidia card and haven't had any problems.

Haven't done it yet but most likely not. Considering thats only an option when you boot to the CD, and not when you put the cd in the drive of a PC that is already turned on and windows loaded.

Lots of people were having issues with multi monitors or SLI setups.



Windows 10 Automatic Updates Mess Up Nvidia Drivers: What To Know : PERSONAL TECH : Tech Times

I hope windows 10 makes better use of 8 core CPU's

This. Until a version is out, tested, and stable enough to become the "norm", then I'll think about upgrading when Microsoft forces me. I ran XP all the way until Bill Gates himself was calling my house telling me to upgrade. Windows 7 is stable and will work for me until I'm forced to change. I'll bet dollars to donuts that I'll never have to install Windows 10. Windows 11 will come out and be the stable version, then I'll think about upgrading. :thumbsup

Yeah warning number 1. I cant get that fucking upgrade icon off my pc.

win 10 is probably da shit

I upgraded last night (did a clean install afterwards) using the ISO method and Windows 10 Pro is fucking amazing, it blows every other version of Windows out of the water and it's insanely fast on my SSD drive.

Microsoft really did an excellent job with Windows 10, I upgraded my family to Windows 10 today and they also love it.

Interesting. I never had any trouble. I don't run SLI though. Funny, after I made my last post, I got an update for the nvidia experience software as well as a driver update. Supposedly that fixes the issues people have been having. Now I hope that update won't break my shit next time I reboot. :1orglaugh

I read an article this morning that Win10 was great, and easy to install. I am in no hurry to upgrade; Why fix something that isn't broken.

Win8 got a bad name because it too forward thinking. The folks at Microsoft could see that "apps" would replace programs, and went in that direction. The vast majority of people do not need a desk top - they need a handful of apps to check their email and facebook and play a few games and read books.

Win8 on a laptop sucked. Win8 on a Microsoft Surface was great.

Windows 10 really blows every other version of Windows out of the water, it's that damn good - just make sure you at least perform the upgrade within a year (the free upgrade licenses are tied to your hardware via a unique ID) so you get your free copy and then you could always move back to Windows 8 if you want.

I updated a few pc's and notebooks today and I suggest everyone with an nvidia geforce card to install these right after win 10 is installed, as version is newer than win ones and in one pc the win ones did not even installed while the nvidia download worked perfectly:

Windows 10 64-bit Desktop GeForce GPUs:

Windows 10 64-bit Notebook GeForce GPUs:
http://international.download.nvidia...ational.hf.exe

Also rather than wait auto update or run strange console commands just download and run the tool here it simply works to update to win 10:

Then, if have nvidia install drivers above. Some antiviruses like kaspersky.. .may disappear if you don't update to latest version of such before of win 10 update, but yuou can install after the update anyway.

I liked XP it was the best, Windows 10 has so many options it doesn't even make any sense

still working using win 7 and its great!

Win7 is ok with me. Actually I would be happy with XP64, but unfortunately it's not supported anymore. When m$ stops supporting win7, I'll move to Linux completely.

I upgraded my laptop a while ago and I really like it. But still have not changed my main Pc just out of fear something might go wrong. I'll be replacing that computer soon with an alien ware that comes with windows 10.

I'm having a custom build desktop being put together for me right now and just told the techies to just go ahead and put Win 10 on it for me.

So I guess I cheated. :D No upgrading for me.

Win 7 is better

I run four monitors on Nvidia GTx-980Ti with no issues on Windows 10

I heard it won't let you install lots of software.

I upgraded my Surface tablet...and it's a big improvement over Win8.

I don't think I'll take the plunge yet on my main workstation (Win7) because I'm in the middle of some big jobs.

I heard that too. I'm thinking it must identify illegal software, because I'm just now loading all my old programs onto my new Win 10 machine and so far everything works fine. And some of my programs are OLD. But they aren't stolen. :D

Now most of my computers are running on Win10 and... No issues with the install, and no issues since then.

Didn't support the video card on the one machine I tried it on, so it's unusable (black screen after boot logo). I backed everything up first of course, so I'll have to do a fresh install of Win 8 and either get a new video card or wait until drivers are updated.

Video drivers are highly overrated anyway.
