Who upgraded to Windows 10?

[frog]

I usually don't encourage using Windows, but I do like Windows 10. I encourage Linux usage because of it's versatility and pragmatism in design. I did the upgrade and for the sake of the argument most of the time was spent downloading. It took marginally longer than a Debian install once the image was downloaded.

Notable mentions:
New features for cmd.exe, better(quicker) application crash handling, and a retro-classic design for the desktop user interface.

Windows 10 has per default a lot of settings which are just wrong...

Go check your windows settings... it's like a smartphone, lots of wrong settings

When upgrading be sure to turn all that report to Microsoft shit off, literally a bunch of shit. Just remember, pirvacy has been gone long before this. I do have to say Edge isn't bad and its actually the best of windows 7 with touches of windows 8.1/8.2. It's one of the better OS's that can rival the awesomeness of Windows XP. If you have a Windows machine, just go for it. My grandma had no problem adjusting to the changes which means its actually easy to use.

Good job Microsoft, you did one right :-O

My only question now is how long before 7 isn't supported anymore ? Lol

So I decided on NOT upgrading, but instead used the Windows 10 downloader to just create a mutli-arch ISO.

Installed it on a desktop.

At First Glance, its Fugly. Oh its soo fucking ugly.

Its so ugly, I would buy an older desktop just so it wouldn't be compatible with Win 10.

Oh and I see it they added multiple desktops... BFD.

If I can get this thing to remotely resemble Windows 8, then I might let it stay.

Did I mention the UI is ugly?

BTW - you can use Microsoft Toolkit 2.5.3 to KMS activate.

Surprised i didn't lose anything bookmarks saved passwords and so on..


I like the look and changes so far . want to change it to the dark theme tho.

I was really hoping for a "Windows 12X", sounds so much cooler. But I think it's because the open source community is so large that MS finally realized there are more open source users than commercial operating systems, therefore lets just end windows with a 10, and provide sufficient updates since general consumers as well as businesses can use open source operating systems, and modify them to meet their business needs. Although for gamers, graphic drivers are an issue but we're slowly getting there.

No, I still have 8 ;(

I upgraded. I haven't had it long enough to say how whether I like it or not but it will work until I decide what version of Linux I want to use.

After 4 long hours my laptop finally completed the upgrade. I think it is okay, however nothing special. I specifically enjoy the new search location and task bar.


What are your opinions of the upgrade?

My laptop was a prebuild windows 8 then went to 8.1. It lacked some stuff the average user would not notice or need. Wen my laptop upgraded 10 it was much better then windows 8 interface wise. Windows 10 still has some problems it stopped Woking a few times and lock me out once saying cortal is not available.  There is also this thing going around about windows 10 can directly collect your data I think they do that already anyways but I don't know the facts.

 Overall 10 is ok for a windows but it stills needs some work.

I installed it last week and i satisfied cause it works bit better than win 7 i had, plus some video games that i have after patches refused to work with my ati 7670m series and only used intel hd 4000. So for me evrything is fixed on 10.

If anyone is interested in "trying" to take back their privacy on Windows 10, I suggest you take a look at this: http://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

Well, i had move to linux , i don't really like windows 10 .

I upgraded from 8.1 and am pretty content so far. No more stupid annoying blue Start panel, i hated that one very much. It handles crashes way better and it actually terminates processes when I tell him to do so. Except the privacy, things like sharing Wi-Fi passwords with friends (?) and few other minor things, I like it pretty much.
