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

    Elitist.
    he was asking for it. you know how us mac assholes are.
    Hahaha, yes I do. I know that Mac runs a great OS on higher end machines. I also know I can buy a higher end pc with equal or better hardware for less money, and I can plug almost any device into it and access it out of the box.

    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.

    Will I lose my files if I upgrade?
    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.

    Hi

    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.

    Cool. My PC has been a bit sluggish as of late. It's a 6 year old PC. I think I will do it!

    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.

    wtf, what do you mean? You had to pay for the 'free' upgrade?

    I just started the process, I have to wait to get notified when I can upgrade.
    How long did you all have to wait after reserving your upgrade?

    My laptop was so fast I literally can't remember.
    My PC has been since April.

    Well I am back on Windows 10.
    I have no sound and when I scroll down on webpages it isn't smooth.
    Also, my PC fan is louder than before.

    I have a HP pavilion laptop running on Windows 7. I tried the upgrade but my internet went really slow, was freezing and just generally seemed off so within a day I was back to 7!

    How do you go back to 7?
    Can you go back to 7 any time?
    My PC seems slow as now.

    Yeah it says you can go back. Can't remember how I did it but maybe go into your system settings or wherever you check for system updates?

    If all else fails, google it ;)

    thanks.
    I am thinking maybe I need to manually download install my sound driver, and maybe my video card driver.

    I had to reinstall my touchpad driver when my upgrade completed on my laptop. Without a mouse. That was fun.

    To be honest, I'm a bit of a Luddite and am clueless about computers so I'm not the person to ask for advice :)

    My videos keep freezing and playing and freezing. WTF. I will give it a few hours to see if it's solved.

    Oh yeah I had a problem with Flash player after I upgraded as well, another reason I quickly changed back. There may have been an easy fix but I couldn't be arsed to find out, 7 does the job for me

    I will try reinstalling my video and sound drivers. And Flash. This is painful.
