windows 10

[davesl708]

I have a question for the group that has Win 10 (since MS has not answered it).
I have Win7 pro. Will the free upgrade to Win10 also be pro or will I get stuck with some home version?

Thanks,

I was running Win8 Pro, the upgrade was to Home. I looked at Win10 Pro and there's no feature I want to pay $100 for.

Ok. Thanks MikePA.
May not be worth the upgrade time. I don't have much faith in MS's programmers. Seems to be hit and miss on operating systems.
Don't see much in Win 10 to make it worth the time to download the third party stuff to get it to do what 7 does now.

You're welcome.

If it wasn't free, I would not have upgraded.

At work, we've noticed a decline in the quality of the patches. MS recently laid off a lot of programmers. There might be a connection. And the way they are pushing Office365, they clearly see their future is subscription based offerings, at least at the corporate level.

As a Mac user, I only run virtual Windows machines for software where the OSX version is a half hearted version. I also keep a Windows machine around to help others when they have problems.

Most of the PCs at work, over 14,000 of them, are running Win7, with a hundred or so Surface Pro 3 devices, which had to run Win8.1.

Not yet but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

My Windows 7 computer died a fortnight ago which meant a 2hr drive into the Big Smoke to buy a new one. I'm a 'stuck in my ways' old fart and the Windows 8.1 of the new system is an embuggerance.

I've practically set up my desktop to mimic Windows 7 as much as I can.

EMBUGGERANCE

Mind if I use that?:laughing:

I know, that is one of those terms you need to "file away for future use".

"hey fella, you are a real embuggerance"

You can simultaneously insult, and mystify some good for nothing....

Finally got mine working on win10. That took way too long, but part of it was I upgraded all the Win8.1 updates first, then did a restore save. Took an hr to download using the link mentioned above, and then took over an hr for the upgrade to install. Then, my internet wasn't working. Finally got that going, so basically a whole day shot.
I am creating a win7 VM on my desktop, not sure if I will upgrade that one though. Will see who I like it. I like Win7 and hated Win8 and 8.1.

Sony says NOT to upgrade the Sony Vaio just yet ... wait for the driver updates to be released.

I stopped by Best Buy just to look this morning; sure do like what I saw. I could download the update for this computer, and guess that'd be the more sensible thing to do, but I'd rather get a new computer with a touch screen.:laughing: Have to think about it awhile, or at least a few minutes.:laughing:

Well, I kept seeing that icon on the task bar wanting me to sign up for Windows 10, and you fellows seem to like it, so yesterday I did. It said it would notify me when it was ready in "a few days or weeks." Less than 24 hours later, I got the notification this morning, so I'm now using Windows 10 on the 2 year old 17" HP laptop. It took ne from 8:51 a.m. to 11:34 a.m. just to get it downloaded and installed. Now I've got to figure out how to change a lot of settings.
