Take the contents of the link with a pinch of salt. "The best windows ever." I'm not sure I believe that just yet.
So I just finished installing, tweaking settings and creating a full disk backup of windows 10. For the most part it's not a great deal different from windows 8. Theres a couple of things that have bugged me so far.
[*]It tries once more to tell me I need to sign into an account and store all my shit online. No thanks, every setting I could find that sounded like it might upload data for no reason got turned off pretty sharpish. And no I don't need to sign into my microsoft account, there is [i]nothing[/i] I would gain from having all my stuff tied together. In fact I truly despise when accounts link information together without explicitly asking me first.
[*]Following on from above, I have no use for a OneDrive account, and even if I'm not signed into a OneDrive account I have to have the link in my folder pane. At least I would have to had I not carried out a minor registry tweak.
[*]Similar to the point above is microsoft adding crap where I don't want it with no way of tidying up. When I open "This PC" There's a bunch of folders at the top, most I will genuinely never use. Again though a small registry edit and they're gone.
[*]As has been the case for about 3 versions of windows now, all your documents on local disk are indexed by default. So a small edit of indexing options and that's removed. However this setting did not carry over from Windows 8, little annoying.
[*]Following on from the privacy point of view, whilst I was looking through the settings, there's a whole bunch which are about allowing installed applications to access hardware and/or personal data. A little annoying I had to set these all to off as their default position was on.
[*]Lastly we come to [url=http://dir-x.net/p/bungie/mscnuts.jpg]this image.[/url] What you're looking at is the microsoft management console, and what I'm attempting to do is to load user groups into the window to then edit my account and grant myself basically god mode permissions (So when you do things like try and delete a folder in "Program files" the computer doesn't argue). It's not very complicated but in my opinion is enough of a step I'm not going to do it by accident. M$; give me -blam!-ing control of my own -blam!-ing PC will you?
So what have you experienced in it so far? Found anything that would benefit the crowd? Have any praise or criticisms of you own?

I know people are gonna kill me for saying this but I had no problems with Windows 8.1 and don't understand why everyone hates it.

Modifié par Dredwerkz : 8/26/2015 12:14:59 AMA little update: - You can currently buy the full version of Home or Pro but cannot buy an upgrade from Home to Pro. Pro is approx $200 and Home approx $100, with the upgrade being priced at approx $100. The kicker is that Microsoft intend to start selling this upgrade from Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro in early 2016. In practical terms that means that anyone with windows 7, 8, 8.1, [any version] who then upgrades to windows 10 for free can upgrade again to windows 10 pro for $100 instead of what they are currently asking ($200). How do I know this? A bug. Go to: - >Settings >Activation >Go to Store The Microsoft store should open on the already pre-loaded Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro upgrade page. [url=http://dir-x.net/p/bungie/w10pro.jpg]Clicking the price to purchase the upgrade does nothing but crash the store.[/url] So if you plan to get Windows 10 Pro and are eligible for Windows 10 Home, if you wait a few months you can get it half price.

I really like Win10 so far. A more usable start menu. Flatter themes. Multiple desktops. Upgrade process was painless. And it's free. I'm in.

I haven't switched to it, i'm still on Windows 8 since it's working fine for me at the moment. And on a side note, is anyone else curious as to why they just skipped over Windows 9?
-
-its $h!t£

It's an upgrade from 8 I must say. 8 is shittier than a buffalo's asshole after it ate cheese, but I'd stick with Windows 7.

And this is why I use a Mac. I get a faster, and easier to use OS.

Yeah, I'll just stick with Win7.

I really like 10, but I had to go back to 8 because it uses 100% of disk usage. No idea why. If anyone has tips it would be appreciated

It suxs ass, windows 87 ftw

I used Win10 for 2.5 weeks and then returned back to Win7. [b][u]Reasons[/u][/b] - somewhat [b]>>[/b] Some of my games were not working with Directx12 (pretty sure this will be fixed soon) [b]>>[/b] I want to upgrade to win10pro that does not require me to dish out $100 ( by getting Win7pro/ultimate on sale hopefully and then upgrade to win10pro within the 1 year of win10 being free.) [b]>>[/b] I want full control of my updates and privacy settings (which is why I want win10pro) [b]>>[/b] I realized that if you stay on Win10 for more than a month, you will lose the privilege to reverting back to your previous operating system (Win7 or Win8.X) and I do not feel ready to stay, yet. ___________ Windows 10 is great, especially with that Xbox app. I was able to chat with my friends via PC without going through the hassle of turning on my Xbox. I will go back but not right now until bugs are ironed out. And when I do come back, it is with Win10 pro.

It's what Win8 should have been IMO. Enjoying it so far.

I have yet to switch. I didn't really like 8, and I've heard very mixed things about 10.
