Anybody have any thoughts about Win10? I'm quite happy with Win7 on my desktop, but I read unless you disable automatic updates, one morning you might wake to find Win10 was automatically installed.

Just looking for opinions on Win10. Should I?

Thx.

 

if you have 7, probably.

if you have 8, no need.

I have 10 on both of my laptops and had no issues.

 

It's pretty much built for touchscreen computers.

It still works well without, but it's touchscreen friendly. If you don't have a touchscreen, I don't think you'll be missing much by sticking with windows 7. You may eventually run into driver issues though.

At least that's my take.

 

No touchscreen. Just a desktop box.

 

Go for it. 8 was ugh. 8.1 was a little better. 10 is what should have been the logical progression. I use 8.1 and 10 at work on a surface pro and now that on 10 it feels right. And I rarely use the touch features. It's my daily driver now.

 

I use it at work both on a Surface Pro and a VM on my Mac, works great, really stable.

 

Windows 8 drives me crazy. Doesn't feel intuitive at all but alas my current project requires the development environment to be win 8.

 

I like it better than Windows 8 in terms of usability, and having a real Start menu back is great. But, it doesn't play nice with all graphics cards. I have an Alienware gaming rig, and Windows 10 is fairly stable... unless I'm trying to play games, which results in a crash about once a week. It's totally fine when doing any sort of real work, but when I start to push my graphics card, Windows 10 seems to freak out.

 

I bit the bullet and downloaded it on Tuesday. My only bitch so far, is that every time I open one of my non-microsoft programs, it asks me for permission to install this "app". Silly, it's a program. I changed the default to never alert me even though MS says it is not recommended. Any thoughts on leaving the default as "never"?

 

Windows 7 was great and didn't want to change when I bought 2 new computers. Had the option of epithet 7 or 10 and bought 10. I was sooo bummed at first only because I didn't really understand it. After a few weeks I got it. No problem now at all. Have been working with it now for 8 months I think on desktop and laptop and it's great with no issues. Only issues I have are user errors!
