Windows 10! - 2

DO NOT GET IT.

You won't be able to play games as hardly any games are compatible with Windows 10 yet.

Haven't been able to find many (or any really) games with incompatibility issues. Even so, running them in compatibility mode works great when things like that are buggy. I did find a few pages with lists of incompatible games, but I tested a handful of them and was able to run each one easily.

The OS feels really fast and smooth to me. Apart from a couple customization bits that I feel will be available in the future, it definitely feels a step ahead of Win7. Over coming months, we will see if it lives up to its predecessor's stability.

DVR feature looks pretty cool, definitely want to try that out.

EDIT: Alright, just installed it.

Not bad, honestly.

Everything is crisp and not so many colors to make it feel like a bad LSD trip.

Performance-wise, things seem a little slow for me but that may just be a problem on my side.

Overall, I think this is good and if you can, upgrade to it.

Oh, and my games run just fine. Been playing around with the DVR feature and works really well.

My sister's Acer laptop got its recent Windows 10 Upgrade. I really love it. I had trouble in some things before, but I feel smoother using the Windows 10 unlike Windows 8.

Plus Microsoft Edge is darn fast.

That's helpful... except that all games work on Windows 10 already?

Not all of them, world of tanks for a start.

Oh crap I shouldn't have upgraded because World of Tanks isn't compatible yet.

Just do what Draenin said, geez.

Liking it for the most part except for one big annoying bug. Whenever my laptop is in sleep mode for awhile, I'll open it up and it'll have a black screen instead of my lockscreen. Sometimes it's hard to even tell if it's off. I hate force shutting down my computer so I hope I can find out what the source of the issue is.

My PC does something like that. It's just a black screen and won't wake up. I'm on 8.1 even.

Apparently, some people with AMD graphics cards have been experiencing the black screen issue. Try updating the driver. If that doesn't work, wait a few more days for AMD to get their stuff together.

This **** happens to me on Win7 anyway.

Worth installing 10 though? Is the whole mobile phone-style interface as intrusive as 8?

Yeah, I read about someone with the issue. Someone said they had it resolved by updating their graphics card driver. Apparently mine wasn't up-to-date either so I updated it and hopefully that will be the end of the problem. If not, I'll keep looking for solutions.

I've gotten stuck installing windows 10 twice, both at 32%. Now I'm downloading windows 10 for the third time now since when I restarted my laptop it didn't save for some reason.
