Windows 10

Key · 06-01-2015, 10:06 AM

I woke up this morning to find that I have a free upgrade to Windows 10 upon it's release. I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on this upcoming update, and if people are looking forward to it / not looking forward to it.

Hah, joke's on YOU, Microsoft! I don't have any hard drive space!

I wouldn't mind just going back to DOS. I liked it better when only geeks used computers, now they've done made the GUI all housewife ready and stuff. I'm old and hate change.

If you have a junk PC that meets requirements, you can preview it now:

I've heard a lot of good promises of what DirectX 12 will do for gaming, but I'm a little hesitant to upgrade right away. I know there's a year to do it, but what happens after that year? Also it comes with Candy Crush preinstalled, and that's even worse than IE.

is the only reason they decided to skip 9 to distance the new os from windows 8 as much as possible or what?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that no one on Earth is looking forward to any new Microsoft operating systems.

I'm staying with Windows 7. By the time they stop support on it I'll have enough money to buy a Mac.

I still use 7, I hate 8. Don't know shit about 10. I'd still be using XP/98 if it was viable.

Signed up and got my email. My laptop is nearly four years old though, so I dunno if it'd be better to just stick with 7.

I use Windows 8 for coursework and I can't get used to it.

I'll probably still download 10 though, then come on here asking how to go back to 7 tbh.
