Win 10

WINDOWS 10 YAAA! REALLY?

People go slow! I'm running win 7 pro, win 7 home premium and win 7 ultimate all 64 bit on 3 PC's. All systems run great, and up to date once a month also known as “patch Tuesday.”

So what do they patch? The OS (operating system) Win 7 Win 8 and Win 8.1 every month. For those who don't know a patch may have many patches with in the patch called vulnerabilities. My point, Win7 has been around since 2009, Win8 a couple years and 8.1 (start button returns) about a year give or take.

If you have Win7 for example, you have 1 year to update to Win10 heaven for free. So whats the rush? Micro$oft is pumping out the most complex OS they ever coded. There WILL be problems for sure. Take your time. Win7 will be supported until 2020 for example. I have read of people getting their hands on the latest Win10 release and trashing their machines!

There will be problems with DRIVERS they control your hardware, software and so on.

Hell it may hate your PC and kill it just for kicks. Can you really afford to have problems while you are trying to get a business up and running when you have a year to upgrade? I would think not. Play it cool and hold off awhile, or if you have a system you are not using and has the hardware in it and you just can't hold, then put Win10 on it. If it has a melt down no problem, right?

Last words... If you fell in love with Micro$oft Media Center, Win10 won't have it.

Just one of many surprises to come. If I recall, you can't create a new partition on the hard drive either. Trying to track all the changes, bug reports to it's release date July 29th has left me crazy.

Best...
