  • Went from Windows 8.1 and took 1.5 hours. No issues at all.

    Jeff - They just sent notification for one of our WIN 7 machines yesterday. Went smooth.. We got our WIN8.1 LAPTOP machines notification on the 29th and the DELL went great with no problems. The HP stops at the 32% upgrade point and just sits there. Tried several times after doing a few things here we could think of with no luck. QVC tried to make it upgrade from their side with no luck.. One suggestion was to let it sit so we did that for over two days -still no luck... Seems like alot of folks on-line having the same hang up at 32% point which is where all the drivers etc gets loaded in...

    I still have one more WIN7 to get upgraded and waiting for MS to send notification to proceed..

    My laptop setup here at my console running dual 24-inch monitors and radio interface things run just great. I initially had problems with MOPVIDEO and WATCH-TVSERIES for down-streaming TV SHOWS but that all cleared up and works great now...

    When I first turn on my LAPTOP its loads up real fast - Did not do that with WIN8.1 Works great with all my free malware programs... Just used the two printers in my network yesterday and they worked same as before. One is wired an they other one is WIFI...

    Will be happy camper when my other WIN7 LAPTOP and the WIN8.1 LAPTOP gets fixed...

  • I have been using Windows 10 for 10 months and it is the best version of Windows I have used. It is the only OS I have seen that plays my 4K H.265 videos from my Samsung NX1 camera without conversion.

  • I've upgraded both my 8.1 based laptop and my wife's Win 7 laptop. Both installed perfectly and are working well. A little getting used to time and learning where they put things, but not too bad. Computer savvy folks will have no problems adjusting to the new start menu. Others may have a more difficult time, but just relax and look around.
  • I tried to convert on Friday night but apparently Windoz 7 Professional isnt eligible. :/
  • I converted from Win7 on my desktop. No problems so far. All programs are running smoothly. No data was lost. I like the layout and functionality.
  • There's a whole ongoing thread on Windows 10 at Windows 10. :) Start at this link for the install/upgrade experience on those who have installed it.
  • I got it a couple days ago. Took about an hour+ to download and install. Coming from Win7, It's certainly different. It looks and functions like a tablet. Meh. Not really my thing. Supposedly, they give you 30 days to revert back to whatever you had previously. There's been some problems with video playing correctly. It doesn't seem to want to play one of my programs, KodiTV--yet. I read that there will be intermittent bugs until they roll all the updates, which they doing slowly, incrementally, but the foundation is there.

    Interesting thing I read..they are likely not going to produce another OS. This is it. Meaning, I guess, they will update it live as a background process, like the way google chromebooks are updated. You won't ever know it. It'll just be done when you power up.
