I just keep getting irritating pop-ups promoting it. After the fourth time, I know the option to upgrade is there!

Besides the speed, are there other material differences?

I hope others may chime in.
But for me yes.
Since I upgraded It feels like the technology and interface slowed a little to let me catch up.

I did, when I first got the option, I love upgrading. I am on Windows 7. I really liked it and it went smooth, but some of my clients haven't updated their software to it yet, so I had to go back to Windows 7. I hope they get their stuff resolved so I can upgrade again.

Yes, other please post your thoughts. I hate upgrading (my brain would rather be learning new authors, titles, chord changes etc.) but eventually will probably give in.

The advantages of 10 sound good but what about disadvantages, difficulties, complications etc., if any?

Thanks!

I upgraded both cpus at my house hassle free. A laptop and a desktop. It's great that you can choose to keep software and files already on your computer. I would still back them up and write down the product key to any software you may have purchased just in case there's a problem.

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.

Ten is an improvement on 8. It takes the best of both 7 and 8.1 and adds some new stuff, but it's still windows. You shouldn't have any trouble adjusting.

I'm still going to wait...I'll let them work out the bugs then maybe DL...I really like 7.

It's much better than 8 which was way too complicated.

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.

is it comparable to a Mac OS of, say, four years ago?

igotid88

I want to but it doesn't support windows media center. And I like recording tv shows from local channels. And the alternatives suck.

I bought a fancy laptop last year and tolerated 8.1 this whole time. I got the update notice for 10 but it just says it's downloading in the background. I'm not getting anywhere with it.

igotid88

I requested before some people and still haven't gotten it yet. Or at least the option to download it

brianlux

Thanks for the input all. I'll wait a while yet and see how it goes.

Yea I wasn't getting the win 10 update cuz u had to run regular Windows update first. I've upgraded to Windows 10.

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 love my iMac.
