Might upgrade since it cant go worse than 8. Only thing is keeping all my files, will i need to save all my guro hentai on a external memory or is it possible to upgrade and keep the porn without external stuff?
All my midget porn and fellow Swedish Názi porn is still there and nothing happened to it.
Looks good so far.
The thing that I hated in Windows 8 was the change in the organization. It made me feel like I had a tablet instead of a computer. Can someone who's gonna get this can post pics of the menu for example ?
My desktop wallpaper is nude yaoi hentai. It's gonna distract ur eyes from checking the menu if i post a screen
Guess I'll Keep it till I get a full Windows 10 key and can do a clean full install.
You can already do a clean install, as long as you upgraded first and the free activation was successful.So, they kinda save the state of my upgrade and then allow me to clean install after that with my Win8 key?

I tried a full install at first but it wouldn't recognize my Win8.1 Pro N key as legit. So I did the upgrade...

No update notification for me yet :(You can force it.
Okay, just ran into an issue. Everything was working fine at start, started playing some WoWs, then all of a sudden my physical memory usage went to 98%. This has persisted even after a restart. Nothing shows up in task manager to explain this. Also my system drive is at 100% :/:shock:
You can force it.
Or create an usb stick for installation like I did.

Never had any issues with regular windows updates tbh.
Edge is indeed very quick but I'm back to Firefox now. It just has features I miss too much in Edge. Like the dynamic bookmarks and the quick access to 'most visited sites'. Not willing to miss out on those two.
Oh, and I had to install some media feature pack separately to get GTA V running. Seems that this pack or some contents of it are not installed with the N version of windows but GTA V launcher has dependencies with some library in it. No biggie... 2 min google search and another 2 min for download and installation. Leaving this here FYI.
Just leaving this here incase someone wants his Windows 10 rightnow but Microsoft is a bish http://venturebeat.com/2015/07/28/how-to-force-windows-to-start-downloading-the-windows-10-update-files/ (http://venturebeat.com/2015/07/28/how-to-force-windows-to-start-downloading-the-windows-10-update-files/)No need.
Only works on 8 I believe.(click to show/hide)
After doing regular windows updates my internet stopped working, wifi still works and ethernet on ps3 works but nothing on pc. God this is so frustrating.
Shiiiit... The new Mahjong is... a bit addictive... Got bronze through daily challenges in an hour. I'm afraid to upgrade my parents PC to 10 now. Mom is addicted to Win7 Mahjong as it is :lol:
No need.
As Molly posted earlier:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
Can just download that. No need for the flashdrive either. I just downloaded, ran the update and it did it.
So I just tried this and all it does is tell me "Something happened." and that's it :shock:Enterprise edition? :lol:
Enterprise edition? :lol:

can you connect to wifi? is your adapter turned on and properly configured? have you updated drivers?
The only thing that does annoy me is not having a 'My Computer' and 'Control Panel' in the start menu. I've changed that now by pinning them there though but the search wasn't originally working so was a pain in the arse to get to the control panel every time.

Does it do it around the tech check stage?
Change your systems region language to the US. The same thing happened to me and that fixed it.
Wifi and ethernet works on everything but my pc. When i manually input the ip and gateway it identifies the internet and says its connect ed but still doesnt work.
Pretty sure the drivers are updated, cant update them now anyways without internet..
Aight did the job for me too! thanks :3
If you right click on the start menu you'll get control panel, file explorer and other handy shortcuts. Right click on start menu more useful than left click =P
You gain Windows 10....with DirectX 12.
It's not about paranoia. Or at least not only about that.
It's about shitty stuff like them restarting your PC automatically and forcing you to update, which sucks ass.
Basically, a lot of this is about taking control away from the user. "We know what's best for you." That's really bad, and the opposite of what they should be doing.
Sorry for chainposting.
Might be a DNS problem then. When you manually configure an IP, use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS, those are from Google.
If they continue this way, we won't have to worry about them and actions (like forcing Edge on users despite previous punishment for doing that). Fuckers finally started bleeding, few more "smart" moves like buying Nokia and they'll go down under.
Staying on Win7, waiting for Saint Gabe to kick their arse hard in gaming segment and obliterate need for DirectX 12.
good luck with that, apparently they're going to abandon the console world after being fucked up by playstation and focus on pc and mobile gaming only

Nintendo rule the console market.
Yeah i tried basically everything auto dns, manual dns, auto ip, manual ip.. when on auto ip ipconfig wont show a default gateway and when on manual ip it connects and says that it has connection but no internet works.:(
Nintendo is a fucking joke these days. They sold only 10 million units of that crap Wii U. That console should be discontinued.
Last time console sold 10 million units in three years on market, it went down. And it was actually the best console of its generation, not crap like Wii U. Poor Dreamcast, you deserved better.
Yes pls. Xbox sucks nowadays. Let Playstation and Nintendo rule the console market and Windows can go fight Steam instead.
They won't do that. Xbox is generating profit. Actually Microsoft Xbox & Gaming division made profit while SCE (Sony Computer Entertainment, console divison) had huge loss last quarter because of SOE (now called Daybreak). But in general Microsoft had few billions loss last quarter because of Nokia. Wonder when they will decide to show loss they will most certainly have because of splashing stupid money on Minecraft.
Microsoft is terrible at buying other companies but so far they could get away with it because their profit was sky high. That isn't the case anymore and latest moves were really beefy buys which left them wounded temporarily.
They need Windows 10 to be huge success, otherwise everybody in PC business will suffer (OEMs are suffering already because PC's aren't selling well).
In other news, Valve is making shitload of money.
The Wii U is actually the best console of this generation for some people due to its decent lineup. Nintendo games are rarely bad, despite being iterative.
So I just did a fresh install of w10 (finaly) and I had the same problem, using the buildin diagnosis tool fixed it though. It said my default gateway was unreachable although I had everything configured just fine.
Dreamcast had strong exclusives too, NBA 2K was born on that console. Also Shenmue.
Maybe, but that's mostly because apart from Forza 5 and Bloodborne Sony/MS exclusives of this generation suck. Dreamcast had strong exclusives too, NBA 2K was born on that console. Also Shenmue.
Exclusives these days are iterations of some long going series. There isn't a new and exciting game on any of consoles, that is reserved for PC these days.
Mario games are great but I'm not 12 anymore. For multiplatforms Wii U sucks because it is very weak hardware wise.
I'm still contemplating whether I should update my XP to 7 or wait a few years.
Thoughts?

no thanks

sleeker design
I find the design of 8 and 10 horrible, it just screams mobile.
Yes, when you upgrade they add your PC to a whitelist on their servers (hardware based, I guess) and activate a generic license. When you do a clean install you just skip entering the key, and it will automatically activate when you go online.Motherboard based.
8 and 8.1 definitely screamed mobile but 10? I'd say that's the right course. It's clearly going to be compatible with all the win10 variants even down to the tiling system on xbone.
I don't know, I just checked a few screens. still has those huge colorful windowsCan change the size of them so they're little. Or huge.
Motherboard based.Probably MAC address?
Can change the size of them so they're little. Or huge.Yes. If you change your motherboard u will need a new key
Probably MAC address?
If so does that mean I'll need a new key if I get a new motherboard... That'll be a pain in a few years.
Yes. If you change your motherboard u will need a new key
Instead of going "Windows Free", I'm upgrading with this bad boy: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/solid-state-drives/solid-state-drives-750-series.html

"Also pointed out to me by user paranoiasavedthecat, is that these programs will reactivate themselves after a Windows Update, or even by themselves after a set period of time. If you didn't know, updates are mandatory, so get used to disabling them I guess. "
Amazing job, Microsoft.

Made an USB-stick as upgrade device and using that way to upgrade right in this moment (checking for updates atm).
Haven't tried any of the previews, neither watched any of those videos. Going out on a limb now :D
Molly, how did you make the USB stick as an upgrade device? Are there instructions and the opportunity to do it after downloading win 10 and while upgrading from win 7?I posted a link somewhere. You can download from MS a file, something with "Media Creation Installer" thing, which then downloads the image and creates a bootable usb device... or instantly starts the upgrade.
I assume that with the USB stick you'll be able to reinstall win 10 if you build a new pc later on.

Erm, no. What we're doing is telling people not to "upgrade" to Windows 10. Or at least knowing full well they're giving up much control over their computer.
The moment the average person opens his internet browser they dont realise that whichever search engine they use collects their data.They are definately the lesser of 2 evils when put inside the same galaxy as google.
But Google is masterrace.
I wish Google bought Microsoft, Apple, Disney, McDonalds, Coca Cola and Warner Bros (+ DC ) + Sony + Nintendo
I was skeptical because of Windows 8, but after trying it it seems a solid OS with a couple quirks. Definitely worth the upgrade.The 2 separate system control panels are one of those quirks... freaking annoying.

Ok so i go out for 40 minutes, come back, try to launch a game again, see that its missing executable. Wut. Go to My Computer, have a crapton of space free, check windows.old folder, completely empty. So everything was completely cleaned out, without me even being at the computer. No viruses as i scan regularly, and im pretty sure my automatic updates are disabled. What the fuck. I have to reinstall so much shit...Windows.old will be deleted after 30 days or something of Windows 10 usage.
Windows.old will be deleted after 30 days or something of Windows 10 usage.
Commonly known, really.
Not having a prompt is bad tho...
I'm actually surprised that it just deletes itself without saying anything.
My guess is that it was deleted during boot up. Any chance you overlooked some prompt when shutting down the time before this happens?
I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't ask for access permission.
Why would a game be in Windows.old anyway?
I had the opportunity to test W10 on my brother's computer last week and it responded to everything quite faster than my current Win 7. I really liked that and to be honest, I am already kind of sold. Still I wanted to ask you guys one last time:
Should I take the nose dive into this? Will I, if I do take the step forward, have the means to get rid of at least some of the privacy concerns (yeah, I know Google etc. does it and we all lose our minds when Windows does the same)? I would just like to hear what you guys have to say, now that some of you have already been using it for a while.
You can disable most data collection in the settings.
"Responded to everything quite faster" is weird though. Windows 7 is not slow by any means even on shit machines. Are you sure it wasn't the fresh OS installation that was the reason everything responded faster? If so you can just clean up the garbage on your computer, or perhaps even format the hd and do a new installation with Win7 (or 10).
Edge looks fine, missing ad block tho
Microsoft is kinda dumb for not going into full scale war while they have the chance. Their business, no matter how hard they tried to grow it, isn't advertising. That is Google's turf. And best way to hurt Google who tries to hurt you back all the time, is to implement state-of-the-art ad blocking software right into Windows 10. Many companies would be pissed, but who gives a shit if they are nothing but peons of huge Google's ad machine.
That is exactly what I would do if I was in Nadella's place. Google is now in very vulnerable state because Android development, their golden goose, is stagnating big time.
Instead they are trying to mimic Google with tracking and selling adds where theylll will never be as successful, that way alienating their customers.

it's ok, cRPG lags a little but not really somehow i dunno, but it's fine, in fact, i'd rather have windows 10 than 7, and i'm in love with 7, there's a couple of annoying things, notably the bright grey and black, you'll get it soon, it's the color of the tab thing, and the undertab thing, i dunno compooters, but it's ok, might as well try, don't kill me if anything wrong happens
in total, it's good, but slightly annoying sometimes, i couldn't care less, cause all i do is play most of the time, and browse on chrome, edge is great but not really, but its fine, might as well try but not really cause win7 is great but it's gonna be outdated soon but might as wait till they fix everything but it doesn't bother me kinda but its ok
I don't mind people copying good ideas as long as the implementation is good too. What I meant is that Apple has been doing a real effort towards actual privacy at least when it comes to some mobile functionalities.In all fairness, same goes for Android 5. The added ability to change access rights for every program is well done.

Oww, about the tool - ad-financed, so keep an eye out during install for search bar installer and these kind of crap. After install, it's fine.
Take care... Switching to Win10 from Win7 is a one-way street. You will never be able to use 7 again without feeling handicapped :)

Able to elaborate at all? What useful features does 10 have that 7 doesn't? So far from my (limited) experience with 10 it seems if anything to be less advanced-user-friendly since it tries to hide all the things you'd want to be able to get to deep inside its menus... heck, even the control panel isn't right there in the start menu anymore.As an advanced user, i feel it's the exact opposite. 10 has better keyboard shortcuts and a more powerful search. Hitting Winkey+S, typing in the first 3-5 letters of what you want and hitting Enter is way faster than navigating a start menu with your mouse.

Windows 10 is free.for a limited time
Why 10 if you can have 8.1? 10 is pretty much 8.1 but with additional bad stuff.directx12 is win10 exclusive and some games will need it to run. I yet only know one game which needs win10 and that´s Quantum Break (Publisher: Microsoft Studio, OH BOY WHAT A SURPRISE). I´ll stick to win7 until there are a couple of games I absolutely have to play. I really hope other publishers won´t follow that directx12 aka win10 bondage that fast. And when that day comes I hope there will be enough software to break and adapt that OS enough so a) I got full control over my system and not the win10 "we install some stuff for you/we take control so you don´t have to think" policy
I don't need those, my part time job is software dev and tools exist on every operating system. Considering steep prices of hardware, especially GPUs think I'll buy new console instead of gaming PC. Even OKAM has unreasonable hardware reqs, bad optimization is more than a trend for PC games. PS4 Neo will cost me under 600 euros, will offer at least 1080p/60fps gaming for about three years. PSN is 30-40 euro per year, games are discounted on PSN/Amazon just like Steam and preety much every quality game gets made for Playstation and exclusives are just icing on the cake. If Microsoft really push mouse&keyboard support for Xbox One then Sony will do the same. Mods are already big on Xbox One. Apart from really expensive new tech, like Gsync and 144Hz monitors and hardware needed to run that, I don't see what extra will Windows 10 PC gaming offer more than consoles. It will still be premium price wise and hardware capability wise, but will lack triple A exclusive games.
All in all, I haven't migrated to Windows 10 nor I plan to and was just being offered wonderful opportunity to bail out PC gaming scene. Praise you Sony and your decisions to shorten period between two generations and make it more like PC.
