Windows 10, Yay or Nay?

With everyone having Windows 7-8.1 being available to upgrade today, are you going to after the previews? Personally I will be (Once I get this damned gwx.exe to start correctly!) What about you? Any thoughts on it?
 
I jumped on the upgrade as soon as it was available - even before the midnight "release" since I'm an impatient nerd. So far, I love it. A lot of the menus and animations feel very Materialish to me. It looks mostly great, and most everything is smooth and fluid. And I have a start menu again without resorting to any hacks.

I still have to figure out what's going on with my Bluetooth (or, more specifically, the magical way in which the computer refuses to see any Bluetooth devices), but that's the only lingering problem I have from the in-place forced upgrade.
 
Might wait a few days,my desktop PC isn't a critical item in my arsenal,but,I want to make sure ADB/Fastboot/drivers/etc... are all Copa Yo-Yo before diving in.................:thumbsupdroid:
 
Still waiting on my laptop to update and install. Lower end devices take a while. Went through this when I went from 8.0 to 8.1. Just happy I have a cell phone for internet right now.
 
As best I can tell it is downloading now. I'm fairly certain my craptop is on the low end of spec worthy, so I'm not sure how it will run, but it can't be worse than Win H8
 
I think they are hosting it on a late 80s BBS server.

So yeah, I'm all good with WinTin as far as I can tell / have tested so far. Really digging it! :thumbsupdroid:
 
I'd only given a preview build a quick 10-min spin in a virtual machine, but I jumped right on it on Tuesday on both my computers at once.... Bit risky I suppose, but I'm glad to say I'm happy with it.

FYI, now you can stop waiting for windows update to download windows in the background, by grabbing the install disc files directly. NOTE: You apparently must perform an upgrade over your 7/8/8.1 install (not a fresh install) in order to get an upgraded licence key for windows 10. Once you have your key, you're free to install the OS however you like.
 
It wouldn't be Windows without a constant barrage of updates to install.

I had to do about 3 or 4 runs of updates yesterday to get 8.1 current. Even after I installed all the available ones, you would check and 30 more would appear.

The good news is that Windows 10 will keep up with all those updates so you don't have to worry about it anymore. ;)
 
I *think* that it should also wait until the computer is idle before it checks for and installs the updates but I could be mistaken.
