Munchies Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Out of curiosity, who is updating to Windows 10?? If you are what are you looking forward to and what are you dreading? I'm looking forward to the new browser, even though I'm an avid Chrome user. I'm also looking forward to the start menu coming back. However I fear that my games (sims 3 and skyrim) won't work because of compatibility issues, but I've read that there shouldn't be any problems. Quote
GayAlbinoRobot Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I'm excited to have a update from Windows 7, although I'm a bit worried my games like Spore, RPG Maker VX Ace and DRAMAtical Murder... hopefully you're right about there being no compatibility issues! Quote
sam101 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I'm updating as well! I'm just excited for a change to be honest. I've had windows 7 for so long and didn't upgrade to 8 because it was so different. But windows 10 looks familiar. Hopefully it runs as smoothly as 7 does and there aren't any awful glitches or anything! :) Quote
nanachan09 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I'm debating whether or not to update from windows 7... I hated using Windows 8, but at least 10 has the start button again :/ I'm worried about my harddrives getting wiped during the upgrade and program compatibility issues :/ Quote
michelleoly Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Getting Windows 10. I'm excited. I'm most excited for the virtual desktops. I like having that as part of the operating system, rather than having to download some bulky program for the same thing. :yes: Quote
life_eclectic Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I want to check out Windows 10, but I have to get a new computer in order to upgrade. I have 8 and I get messages saying to upgrade to 8.1, but when I click to get, it says my computer is not compatible. I gotta save up my money. I really liked 7, 8 is frustrating, but I am just wondering, what happened to 9? Hopefully 10 will be good. I'm also glad they are bringing back the start menu and the photo features look cool. Quote
sam101 Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I can't wait for it to come out already! It supposed to be coming out to the public in waves. Does anyone have it yet? Quote

It's also easier to run emulators on 7, I tried with 8 and 8.1 and it wasn't working out too well. Quote
jellysundae Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 I'll just sit here in the cobwebby corner with Vista :ph34r: Shows the age of my laptop, doesn't it? When is 10 coming out? I potentially might get a new laptop later this year, so I'll be reading people's opinions of 10 with interest. Quote

jellysundae Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Seen a couple of ads for it today now :yes: Good ad, got to say, will be interesting to see if it lives up to its own hype! Quote
MysteryAF Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Windows 10?! Back in my day Windows 7 was the newest one, haha. I'm gonna stick with windows 7 :p Quote
jellysundae Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I remember people being excited for Windows 7 because they all hated Vista, then them all hating 7 even more :laughingsmiley: I MISS XP! xD Quote
Mouseykins Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 For those of you who are upgrading to Windows 10, be sure to set your own settings and not choose the Recommended Settings. Apparently the recommended settings set your computer to share your browsing data and network along with others. Not exactly how true that is, but best to set your own settings and take the time to have your computer set the way you want it. :) Quote

I'm assuming we can change them under control panel or pc settings?? Quote
tinyplasticdinos Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I bought a new HP laptop this spring with windows 7 professional. Over the last month or so I've been getting the pop ups to 'pre-reserve' and it's been telling me how it's completely free to upgrade for my machine, but as an earlier poster said I'm worried that it will wipe my computer when it installs so I'm hesitant to do it that way. I think the look of it seems familiar enough that I would be fine transitioning otherwise, and I'm looking forward to the virtual desktops feature! Quote
Mouseykins Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I just upgraded a few minutes ago and used their settings. I'm assuming we can change them under control panel or pc settings?? Apparently you have to install some other program that allows you to share your wifi access with people on your friends/buddy list so that when they're in your house they can connect to your wifi and you don't have to share/give out your password. You most likely should be able to change your settings under the control panel or wherever holds that information. I've converted to Mac, so my Windows knowledge is next to nothing now lol. I just came across that tidbit and thought I'd share so that anyone upgrading could research it and be informed. Sorry for any misunderstanding/confusion. :) Quote

After some navigating, I think I finally managed to change those settings. 10 is completely different that 8.1, which I'm happy about but it's still taking some time to get used to. I grew up with Mac computers, I really like them. I'm not entirely sure why I chose a PC over a Mac. Quote
