The proprietary software used at my work won’t be compatible with Win 10 for a few months, so I’ll have to stick with 8.1 until then
My Dell running Windows 8 upgraded already. My other two devices running Windows 7 are still waiting.
My desktop has updated...no surprises yet.
Eye keeping bump
No no... I already read on the MacUserNews site that Windows 10 is a colossal failure and a major embarrassment for Microsoft. Stop trying to spread your propaganda.
(But, seriously, who installs on release unless it’s on a walled-garden box? I guess there has to be some suckers to help work out the kinks for the rest of us.)
My experience was terrible. First attempt to upgrade went all the way they the process but left me with 8.1. Second attempt got me to a desktop that crashed and left me at the auto fix screens. Nothing worked. Had to go through restore. Third attempt got me to a working desktop that uses lousy default graphics drivers and no audio
Not impressed.

First: Given the very large installed base of Windows 7 & 8, 14 million upgrades is OK.
Second: The upgrade is Free to the Win 7 & 8 base, so again OK.
Given the long free beta of Win10, I hope for MS’ sake that this upgrade goes smoothly. I LOVE COMPETITION and watching an upgrade war between Apple & MS brings joy to my heart!
Let me guess: The unprecedented demand was 100% Windows 8 users?
I’m in no hurry. I’ll wait until Black Friday, buy a new laptop with 10 installed. If I like it I’ll move stuff over from the old laptop. If I don’t, I’ll donate it.
I downloaded and installed yesterday on one computer (Sony says wait for drivers) my HP.
Took 13 hours start to finish, of course my DSL company is Pony Express.
So far, zero problems, increased speed, lots of new features (upgrade from 7), Less redundancy.
Overall A-
Installed it immediately upon release. It is fantastic. A huge improvement. And also better able to adjust for applications that previously didn’t support my laptop with 3200 x 1600 res.
Hi SeekAndFind — please feel free to ping me to your numerous Windows-related threads. I will be happy to ping the Windows List to the ones that seem appropriate for the list, as this one does. Thanks! — Dayglored
I have a question if you don’t mind. I ask because I’m not too tech savvy. My wife’s laptop is a somewhat older HP with Win7 and 3 GB RAM on a 64-bit system. Should I upgrade it to Win10 32-bit or 64-bit?
