Windows 10 - Your Impressions

[Bloodraven]

Microsoft is a very clever company :)

windows xp - stable
windows vista - shit
windows 7 - stable
windows 8/8.1 - shit
windows 10 - your choice

anyway most of the application that actually is working on windows 7 has issues running on 8.1 and 10 is based off 8.1 so I dont know what is happening.

Why was Windows 8.1 shit? With Classic Shell it was faster than Windows 7 and had less bugs than Windows 7. The start menu shit was atrocious but I never even used that.

So I've been using this for two days, glad I upgraded but hopeful a few updates will fix the problems.

By the way your key is locked to your hardware. As soon as you update your motherboard or some shit you will need to buy a new key (As Reddit has determined).

Off course if you are going to upgrade do it within a year before the free upgrade for one year shit ends because you can just do a fresh install of 7/8.1 and upgrade again.

ClassicShell never worked well for me, always freezing. I did, however, learned how to use the Metro, because when you get how it works, it all turns out to be easy. W10 is FAR the better windows so far (in my opinion at least).

It's stable, have great communication with other devices, has a great desktop ui and easy customization, and much else.

I was fine with it until I learned my antivirus had been turned off by it. By the time I worked this out and turned it on my laptop had already been filled with tracking cookies.

It's slower logging on for me now. Used to be no more then 15 seconds from turning on to being fully logged in and on chrome. Now it's about 30 seconds. The first window I open then minimize will have a black flash every time I minimize it. It also keeps turning off my Dolby sound management lowering my sound quality.

I recommend to anyone wanting to update, hold off a week or so, in my opinion it's a little buggy and can do with a bit of fixing. So lets give Microsoft some time. Also edge runs just as fast as chrome for me, just missing my chrome adding :(

Side note; Minecraft Windows 10 BETA = Horrible. I regret not listening to @MrSpooks and not installing it.

I think Windows disabled it in favour of Windows Defender, which amazingly is pretty good. That coupled with Malwarebytes will give you a good combo. I use Avast + MBAM but I am considering to use Defender.

Windows 10 is based of 8.1 with kernel and user changes :) if you realized I think they killed it to be honest. certain application that worked on Windows 7 isn't running on 8.1 and 10 your best bet is to use a VM

So far all my tools still work so havnt really had any problems, i just hope it stays so when w10 hits my development laptop :-) else its gonna be shitty but i guess cuz Mvs is from microsoft too itll work just fine

So far everything I've had in Windows 7 worked on 10 too with some minor exceptions where the app only worked with administrator rights

I find windows 10 as if they took windows 8.1 and tried to stuff windows 7 in it. I think it ended up pretty good, but when I read that windows 10 is their last OS. (no windows 11 or anything else) it sorta got me thinking... I know they are working on a new update called redstone for windows 10, so basically big updates instead of new os now. Hopefully they don't like.... make windows downloadable content for $$

I've had a few games that are having mouse icon issues in full screen. And when you resize the desktop icons the padding doesn't update correctly...but that's about it.

[Ben]

I saw that when you wanna reset your pc back from the configuration screen it will set it back to windows 7

[Monolith]

But you can only do that for 1 month after the Windows 10 installation.

Had my first bsod on windows 10 yesterday lol after it came out of sleep mode it crashed

Windows has been based of its predecessors kernel since the beginning, it's nothing new really.

To me it isn't to bad. Debating if I want to install on my main computer. It is currently installed on my laptop. I own an XBone so debating if I want on the main PC to pretty much make the need of a capture card absolute.
