Besides the speed, are there other material differences?
But for me yes.
Since I upgraded It feels like the technology and interface slowed a little to let me catch up.
The advantages of 10 sound good but what about disadvantages, difficulties, complications etc., if any?
Thanks!
Negatives. This is the most invasive version of Windows to date as they are really trying to push the cloud storage and always logged in online mobile approach. They have an "app" store that is always pushing apps for youtube and skype etc, things that are unnecessary since a full browser is readily available. They want constant access by default to your location and your files, making it a pain in the ass to go through and turn off "permissions". Unfortunately, It's where computers are headed.
The good. It is less of a resource hog and is designed to run on bare minimum equipment. Like pjfan, our five year old laptop is like new and I am actually ordering a new battery for it instead of junking it like I planned recently. You have time to decide so research it a little and see if it makes sense for you. If you want to get a few more years out of a cpu that's bogged down it is worth it. You have thirty days to revert back if you don't like it as it stores your previous os. If you keep it, you can delete the old os and free up quite a few gbs. It really is a light version. Only about 14GB of hard drive space I believe. Windows 7 was over 40? On our laptop.
Looking into a new laptop and haven't used Windows since Windows8... So I
Hope any new system I get will be easily manageable..

However, I've been billed for 4 payments to Microsoft that I never made at all averaging around $50 per bill yesterday which really pissed me off. Once it stops being in pending mode at my bank website, I'm gonna dispute immediately. I should be lucky last midnight was payday because I'm not having this at all. I've got $230 lost in one day because of these assholes.

And now my mouse/touchpad doesn't work. I mean it didn't show up at all so I restarted and it froze after 10 seconds. I got annoyed and walked away.

I had a long conversation with a business professor who also has a masters in computer sciences(?) last semester. He told me how he learned that Apple had reached a rare level of marketing where people think their device is an extension of them. Opened my eyes a little since I've grown up using both. Great machines that you over pay for. There really isn't much I can't do with a higher end pc. PCs get a bad rap because there are so many bargain models out there running shitty hardware.
Can I revert back to Windows 7 if I don't like it?
It says my PC is compatible on the pop and I see my soundcard has a win 10 driver ready.
I don't have a solid answer just an opinion.
My PC is a dell xps and I am still getting the pop up. I am still waiting to be notified when it will be compatible.
My laptop went perfect and I lost nothing.
Files, well like anything you can lose them at anytime but I am 99.9% certain you will not lose your files during the switch. I didn't on my laptop.
I am waiting to switch once I get notification my PC is ready.
It's a new interface for sure but speed on startup time is noticeable.
I have an option button to revert to windows seven on the new desktop option.
My Laptop is like new and am very happy.
How long did you all have to wait after reserving your upgrade?
My PC has been since April.
