Definitely waiting then. The last thing I want is Windows telling me "colour" is spelt wrong.

Lol this is the most petty thing I've ever read.

I'm personally not upgrading yet because there are quite a few games that I'm thinking may have compatibility issues with Windows 10, look, even Windows 8 requires tinkering to get GTA IV working.
I won't be upgrading this computer anyway, since I should be getting a new one by the end of this year.

The only game I've had problems with on 10 is Guild Wars 2, and I'm pretty sure it's an NVidia driver problem.

Good to see they made a fresh/clean install such a farce. I can only imagine how badly computers that have been "upgraded" from 7 to 8 to 10 run. Thank fuck I only have to download the thing once for my two damn installs on one machine.

Has anyone here actually done a clean install or has everyone sludged up their computers with an upgrade?

Only thing about Win 10 is that I can't get my OS key to activate. Apart from that it seems like a slightly less awful Win 8.1.

Installed Windows 10, had Nvidia Driver issues from the start. rolled back to Windows 8.1

10/10 - 1 hour of installing and uninstalling Win 10 well spent

 

Overall. I did like the new look the taskbar had. Other than that I cant really say much about it. I didn't get to experience much of it because of issues right from the start. I have a Gtx 970 and right after the upgrade my video card was not recognized. All drivers were installed but unavailable. Downloading Nvidia's latest driver compatible with Win 10 and running it, It shows that nothing is installed and wouldn't give me an option to install any of the drivers. Just a button to close driver install. My pc was running with the intergraded graphics driver and resolution was crap. super huge icons and blurred text. I did spent 3 hours looking for fixes and troubleshooting solutions but none seem to work. I'm sticking with Win 8.1 for now. After updates to Win 10 from Microsoft get released, then I'll consider downloading it again.

Does the updater back up everything from your old system or is it just the OS?

I'm not sure, I'm guessing just the OS.

I'm not sure, I'm guessing just the OS.

You have 3 options: 

1. All your files, settings and programs will be saved. 
or
2. Your personal files will be saved, but no settings or programs will be saved.
or
3. Nothing. Your OS drive will be formatted and everything on it lost. 

Oh, well if I knew that, I'd probably be running W10 right now.

I've decided to just install it now instead of waiting. Hopefully this goes well.

Edit: It isn't going well. Might do it tomorrow though, I'm tired.
