TMR1 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I won't risk destroying my laptop over a beta version. I'll wait for the finished product, but I do like what i see so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolts91 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I put it in a virtual machine. While it's a certain improvement over Windows 8, I still do not like the cartoon-ish feel and tiles everywhere look. Getting closer to my beloved Windows 7, but still not quite there in my opinion.

I'm not sure what you mean by "cartoon-ish"...unless you are talking about the tiles. Or maybe the fact that Aero is not available. You don't have to use or see the tiles and I do wish Aero was available. I think it looks pretty good and, with the improvements over Win8.1 and the stuff that is new to Windows, I think pretty much all the objections...especially from the business community...should be silenced.

Which one have u tried in Parallels Desktop I haven't really done much with additional desktops. I did create a couple...opened some windows on them...switched around...but that's about it. It is easy to use that feature. I don't do any gaming on the machine that I set up Win10 on, but I can see myself using multiple desktops more on my gaming rig.

JoJoGunne Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 The major factor that will make me decide to move to Win10 next year will be cost. Right now, prices are only rumors. It has been said that Win10 will be free or really cheap for those who have Win8/8.1. If that's the case, I will certainly upgrade my main computer. I already use Win8.1 on that machine. I'm running the WTP on a laptop that had Win7 installed. If upgrading from Win7 to Win10 is free or cheap, I'll go with Win10. If not, I'll stay with Win7. I won't pay full price to move from Win7 to Win10...or even to Win8/8.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoGunne Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 JoJo what virtual ware you using? I normally use VmWare.I might have to givr this a try when I have time. No VM. I have an 8 y/o laptop that I hardly use anymore...had Win7 on it. I installed the WTP and it replaced Win7. It was quick and painless to do and I didn't lose any programs or files. Just like when I upped my main computer from Win7 to Win8. When I'm done with the WTP, I'll just do a fresh install of Win7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have. I like it. Microsoft will generally have a free download trial version directly from their site if it's available. If it comes from a Third Party at this stage more than likely a fake and mess up your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
