    It's not like they gave people a choice!

    But I agree with MalicE. it's definitely the best OS.

    That settles it. Will have to do my upgrade this weekend. Time for the free upgrade is running out anyway.

    Lol this. Eventhough we all agree it's the best, you pretty much have to upgrade anyways.

    There's a big hating fanbase for it as well, just not sure what's there to hate on as it's better than Win8/8.1

    I'm a firm believer in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

    I'm still happy with 8.1 and due to the age of my rig I don't want something to go pair-shaped with the upgrade.

    10 is like an improved, polished 8.1

    I've had nothing but bad experience with Windows 10. Originally tried installing it on my main PC and couldn't even complete the installation due to a black screen that I couldn't get past. They have since released an updated ISO that may or may not have fixed the issue.

    I've loaded it on my laptop and it works OK most of the time but the forced Windows Updates are a pain in the ass and there are a couple of weird issues like when trying to connect to a wireless network, you click on the Networking and nothing happens and have to restart.

    On my phone it has been absolute hell. Everything from bugs to stability issues. In fact, before the Windows 10 upgrade, I don't think I've ever had my Windows phone freeze. Now it happens at least once a week.

    So for the most part, I'll be sticking with Windows 8.1 + Start8 which in my opinion is the best choice so far. It works / performs better than Windows 7 and everything works as it is supposed to.

    No guts, no glory, no brain, same story.

    Hahaha exactly,


    I'm still happy with win7, I don't like the idea of Microsoft deciding what I can and can't install.
