    WAIT Windows 10 is beginning beta. You do not want to use that on your working computer. It will not be ready for release until
    .

    Hope it is not part of a windows app to upgrade. All of my windows 8.1 computers are set as local or domain accounts. Most like it will just be set as an upgrade to what one has.

    Really WAIT as its still beta and I'm annoyed that MSFT have offered this in the general updates list as a tick, this should only IMHO be a option.

    Running Win 10 on two PCs one netbook (Direly slow its running) and a desktop its not worth contemplating at all yet... while I love Microsoft OS's and have defended them on this forum and others over the years this one is woeful! at present in its current form.

    Right click in Windows update Windows 10 tech and HIDE.

    Personally, I'm looking forward to installing windows 10 as an upgrade to windows 8.1. I like the look and feel of the OS. I don't mind the many changes that they have done.

    This is in contrast when I upgraded to a beta of Vista, that took about 4+ hours to install, then found many issues. But, that was a beta. I did eventually upgrade to vista with no issues.

    Though, at that time I was running about 12 GB ram, E6600 cpu, etc. Gpu was either a 5870 or gtx 280 can't remember, I have both, not sure which was better.

    I've been running windows 10 in a VM and it has been running great. Except for the hdd access, but that is mainly cause I'm watching videos on the same drive that the VM is running from, hence why I need to buy a SSD to just run VMs on.

    I actually like windows 10, i tested it for about 1 month in the technical version and most of the programs i use for windows7 worked, however i didn't use it too much so its possible others who used it more have encountered issues/bugs.


    For those that have windows 7 and 8.1 and decide to upgrade , will the license for windows 7 and 8.1 still work if one doesn't like the overall function of windows 10?

    Do people need to pay an annual fee for windows 10, i could have sworn they wanted to make it like a subscription but i wasn't sure
