Title: Windows 10 Post by: horlock07 on Monday, June 1, 2015, 13:00:01 Microsoft keeps notifying me that I can upgrade foc from Windows 8 (presently) to 10.
Its taken me long enough to get used to Windows 8 which I find a bit of a dog to work with, is Windows 10 any better or easier to use?

Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: suttonred on Monday, June 1, 2015, 13:07:09 Yes it will be much better. Windows 8 is a pile of crap. I didn't think the roll out was for another month though, guess I'd better recheck, as 1st day I can I will overwrite 8.

I didn't think the roll out was for another month though, guess I'd better recheck, as 1st day I can I will overwrite 8. It is in the future, it just keeps telling me I can pre-register for update on release! Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, June 1, 2015, 13:12:53 It is in the future, it just keeps telling me I can pre-register for update on release! Yeah it comes in with the latest Windows Update, the good news for some is that if you use a cracked version of Windows 7 or 8 then you can still upgrade for free.Windows 10 is rolled out on July 29th. Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, June 1, 2015, 13:22:43 Can't wait for Windows 98!
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: suttonred on Monday, June 1, 2015, 13:25:07 It was better than windows 8 for sure..
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Bewster on Monday, June 1, 2015, 13:31:55 what happened to 9 ?? :sherlock:
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, June 1, 2015, 13:41:57 what happened to 9 ?? :sherlock: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/191279-why-is-it-called-windows-10-not-windows-9 Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Nomoreheroes on Monday, June 1, 2015, 14:09:23 What does it mean about its 'free to upgrade for a year'. Does this mean there is some subsequent charge after a year? Do you have to pay a yearly subscription for it?
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: jayohaitchenn on Monday, June 1, 2015, 14:10:28 It means that if you upgrade within the first year it is free.

Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: horlock07 on Monday, June 1, 2015, 14:15:32 Anyway I have registered for the free update, if its shit I will just blame you all!
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: suttonred on Monday, June 1, 2015, 14:21:00 what happened to 9 ?? :sherlock: One urban legend has it that windows 9 wouldn't sell in Germany.. Title: Re: Post by: Honkytonk on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 09:20:48 From what I've seen of it it's a heck of a lot better than 8, which although I don't use I have come to have a grudging respect for.
Can't remember if it's been confirmed but windows 10 might actually be the last numbered windows OS. Everything post 10 (at least for the forseeable future) will be simply an update. Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: suttonred on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 09:28:22 Yes it has been confirmed. update/subscription model after 10.
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Gethimout on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 10:16:34 Yeah it comes in with the latest Windows Update, the good news for some is that if you use a cracked version of Windows 7 or 8 then you can still upgrade for free. Windows 10 is rolled out on July 29th. Cracked versions of 7/8 can upgrade to W10, but they will still be cracked versions of windows. Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Nomoreheroes on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 10:50:15 So:
1. Is it worth updating from 7? 2. Is it worth updating from 8? Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Bewster on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 11:13:08 So: 1. Is it worth updating from 7? 2. Is it worth updating from 8? Is it worth updating from XP ? Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Nomoreheroes on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 12:23:07 Is it worth updating from XP ? Yes. Because its no longer supported and doesn't have patches put out to stop people who have found ways to exploit it.Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 15:48:54 Yes. Because its no longer supported and doesn't have patches put out to stop people who have found ways to exploit it. Windows 7 is already out of mainstream support. Extended support is till 2020. Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Nomoreheroes on Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 17:53:38 Windows 7 is already out of mainstream support. Extended support is till 2020. All the geeks I know say to go for it. Good price (free), quicker boot up and shut down, more secure and longer support.Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: jayohaitchenn on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 06:53:25 I guess I qualify as a geek, and i'm going to go for it too.
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: Samdy Gray on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 07:23:19 The traditional start menu is back, so that's a yes from me.
Title: Re: Windows 10 Post by: reeves4england on Wednesday, June 3, 2015, 12:01:30 The traditional start menu is back, so that's a yes from me. Probably the thing I miss most since I got a laptop with Windows 8. Glad to see they have the sense to go back. |
