Windows 10?

[kpc01]

Ive got this free windows 10 upgrade on two of my computers at home. It says its a free upgrade not a trial blah blah blah.

A. anyone else have this?
B. is 10 any good? It looks too much like a phone layout from what I can tell but not sure if theres an advantage I don't know about

I haven't used it, but from what I've read it's supposed to fix all the shortfalls of 8.

Did I miss windows 9? I have 8 but I did not think there was a 9 yet.

I haven't been a power user or admin in a long time.....

But for normal desktop use I have seen no compelling reason to leave Win 7 other than Microsoft telling me that I should....

No, they went vista, 7, 8,8.1, 10

Because it will eventually go the way of XP, and become prone to security exploits.


Also, DirectX12 is a pretty good reason.

If you're on 8.1,consider that 9

I'm on 7 home premium, just use it for the web and word processing crap. 10 worth trying out?

I was on XP until about a year ago by choice. Nothing wrong with 7, but if Windows 10 is anything like Server 2012 from an interface point of view - F that.

win 8 is the bastard child
Win 8.1 is the redheaded step child
Win 10 will be the redheaded bastard step child

I've been using Windows 10 tech preview for a few months on my spare gaming laptop, and it runs pretty good, and is a good hybrid of 8.1 and 7.

Windows is going to be 100% a service in the future, where you pay monthly for updates, and will never have to buy a new version of Windows ever again, you'll just get to download the newest version when it comes out.

If you have the "premium" versions of Win 7, 8 or 8.1, MS will let you download Win 10 full version for free, around July 29th.

I clicked yes on the download Win 10 and have it set for "download and let me decided when to install". You'll have 1 year after download to install it before that copy is null and void.
