Windows update hasn't been working on my laptop for the better part of the past year, for whatever reason, so I'm sticking with 8.1 until this computer dies.
Which knowing my record with computers, will probably be another 6 or so years.

Also? anyone with the tech preveiw get maple to run? Or will i have to run in compatibility mode...[/quote]
I have installed the Windows 10 Tech Preview and MapleStory Runs as smooth as it can run. Also I've tested these other games and they run at their max fps too. Warframe, Neverwinter Online and League Of Legends. It is faster and lighter than any other version of windows.
My Rig:
CPU: Intel i7 3770k Quad-Core Overclocked @ 4.5Ghz (HT- 8 threads) (Water-cooled)
RAM: Corsair Veangeance 16gb ddr3 1600mhz
SSD: OCZ Vertex 3
HDD: Samsung
GPU: Evga Gtx 670 FTW 2GB (2 of them in SLI Mode) Both overclocked too.
PSU: Corsair 850W
OS: Windows 10 Technical Preview Build: 10130
Feel free to ask for some more tests or any information.
Well, I'll upgrade all my devices, and they all are getting Windows 10 Pro.

I want to say you have a year to reserve the copy, and then it is permanent.
OT : While Win10 is apparently helping the boot up times and has DX 12 to help with gaming, I'm not sure if I would upgrade right away... bugs are always sucky

If upgrading means I have to download and reinstall my 700GB collection of steam games, then I think I'm going to pass.
@cuanto: you're just jelly.
lulz u nib lulz mucho lulz
Probably will. If Microsoft stays on its "natural course of OS competency pattern" then Windows 10 should be good.
For those requiring information:
1) Only windows 7/8.1 are available for a free upgrade to windows 10 in its first year. (Windows 8 received a free update to Windows 8.1 through windows update)
2) Since windows 10 will be applied through windows update, Its most likely that all your programs and documents with remain intact.
Also if you happen to be running a Technical Preview of Windows 10, could you attempt to run Maplestory on it, and comment here how it performs? (Better/worse/same as windows 7/8/8.1)
JULY THE 29TH ARE YOU SERIOUS?
dude that's my birthday
I FEEL SO SPECIAL YERRRRRR
.. heh. >______<
edit: I look forward to windows 10. c: I like change and new stuff, y'know? it's exciting.
[quote=Tranquil]I'm still using vista... Lol[/quote]
u have my deepest appoligies
I'm still using vista... Lol
Pretty excited
i haven't looked into what windows 10 is like at all, but i just hope it's more like 7 than 8! i'm still on windows 7. i hate windows 8! maybe i'll get a new computer if windows 10 is actually decent.
Hell yeah, I always love change.
[quote=DogPukeYellow]Anyone else here still using Windows XP?
Screw forced changes. >.<[/quote]
i still got a computer with xp installed. i'll turn it on every once in a while.
OT: i reserved a copy for windows 10.
I have windows 7 on my PC, which works great.
On my laptop I run windows 8, I've made a lot of changes to it but I still don't like it.
If windows 10 is anything like windows 8 I won't even try it.
Honestly, I have a PC not a tablet, stop trying to make the same operating system for both tablets and PC's, it just doesn't work..
I'm looking for a laptop and thanks to Windows 10 I don't really need to have a touchscreen.
I also got that notice at like 1 in the morning and freaked out thinking it was some virus.
Windows 7 till I die.
Anyone else here still using Windows XP?
Screw forced changes. >.<

Because 7 8 9!

it has to do with a bug where programs read it as windows 98

There is a demo i found online.
Oh hell no. Windows 8 luckily runs smoothly and isn't all that buggy. With their reputation W10 is gonna be horse crap for the first year or two until it gets debugged. I don't have a single problem with W8 atm so I'll stick to this.
[quote=Rate]can anyone show us some interface screenshots? the differences?[/quote]
It shows you some when you click it.
[quote=Duzz]@wolfexe do you have a legit version of it?[/quote]
Of course, I have the disk right here
can anyone show us some interface screenshots? the differences?
@wolfexe do you have a legit version of it?
@MapleBhav: yes, ur current office pakage should transfer over to Win 10.
I didn't get the windows `10 notice?
EDIT: It just showed up a minute ago
@bomberb0i2: As in if I upgrade to W10 my microsoft office licence will remain? So I don't have to buy a new microsoft offfice package (excel, world, pp..etc). Even though the version I currently use with my w7 laptop is 2007. I'm wondering if that will transfer over to the W10.
[quote=Psychopathic]Do you get it free if you currently use 7?[/quote]
I use 7 and I'm getting a notice for free Windows 10 as well.
[quote=Psychopathic]Do you get it free if you currently use 7?[/quote]
yes it free if u already ahve Win 7 and if u sign up for it
I'll wait a bit until I update Maplestory won't be compatible with Windows 10 for a while.. Plus I have to download everything again.... </3
Do you get it free if you currently use 7?
[quote=MapleBhav]I've reserved mine. Won't install it for a while after I download it. My guess is maple won't be compatible right away or will have severe issues.
Does anybody know if you do decide to upgrade to W10 if your microsoft office package gets removed?[/quote]
what do u mena by the packages? cuz from what i've read and heard from the experts is that everything thats on ur win7/8 OS will just transfer over to 10
im sticking with windows 8. i dont want to have the bugs from windows 10.
[quote=CherryTigers]I just started using 8.1 and it's still confusing to me how the start-up menu is not the same as what I'm used to. Oh god, even more changessssssss. o.o[/quote]
dont worry the start menu goes back to its normal feature like it was in Win7 with some win8. so you can use it anyway u want it
I've been using the technical preview of Windows 10 on my VMs and they've been running fine.
