You heard right
When I bot my Oculus I found out that my Windows 7 did a pi$$ poor jub of supporting it. For starters it's not compatible w/ the latest DirectX that includes 'Direct3D'. So I took the plunge --I cloned my boot drive (for safety sake) and upgraded to Windows 10 (fwiw, it's still free).
Then I spent an hour or 2 restoring all my privacy issues, removing all the cr@plets and vendorware and it now works PERFECTLY.
My Oculus is SUPER and sooo many other things are way better than Windows 7. The only 2 things I used a lot that aren't forward compatable are minesweeper and freecell --but I can use the XP versions ok. All my spreadsheets, all my browsers, graphics (3 monitors @ 5760 by 1080), games, communications, everything was automatically installed and tweaked during the installation.
I'm one happy camper.
I’ve done 5 Laptops and PC’s at home with various capabilities, all are working flawlessly on 10. None of these were clean installations, but 2 were Windows 8 to 8.1 to 10 upgrades. The only PC I cant upgrade is a HP Tower I have with a AMD processor, but that is because there is no driver for the onboard graphics. I have read that I could force the upgrade and use the Windows 8 Driver may cause instability. I think I may buy a clearance Video card and upgrade it sometime in the future, otherwise it will become a LINUX machine and a media server for my home.
Overall I am perplexed by all of the people I hear saying Windows 10 “bricked” or otherwise f’ed up their systems. I really think their issues are related to either real old or sub-par hardware, or the urge to install every free application they’ve seen over the years.
