I like the way W10 is heading and will UPGRADE my present OS.
I like W10 but would ONLY consider a clean install.
It's been fun but I will not be using W10 as my main OS in the near future.
W10 is my favourite OS.
W8.1 is my favourite.
W8 is my favourite.
W7 is my favourite.
Vista is my favourite.
XP is my favourite.
Another such as OSX or Linux.
Family packs need to increase in size. mine is at least 4 now!
While I like the idea of a free upgrade there are too many possible strings attached and for me at least 40$ is not a big issue. And how do you build a new PC?? If you have one set up you could possible download a copy, assuming that an ISO is available. But for me having a DVD is the better option.
Yeah, it stands to reason that anyone who can build their own new PC would have their previous build available to download with. However, there's always a "first time to build a PC" and all of us have been there. But what if the old PC crashed and burned and there you stand, parts in hand.
The only major difference for me in Win10 is the automatic 'pick what fills the other half of the screen' thing that happens when you snap a window to half-screen; and the Notification Center.
- That said right now... I sort of like Win 8.1 a little better when it comes to using the touchscreen, than Win10's Tablet Mode. Tablet Mode just seems to have a few extra situations it affects, rather than just being a simple drag-down-to-close motion (amongst other things). I sometimes get caught in an endless loop where I pin something to one side of the screen, select what fills the other side, and the pinned item disappears. Repin, and the other side disappears etc. Tablet Mode also (at least in Build 10061) removes my pinned taskbar icons except for the start button and search button, which I never asked it to do.
- Some things, such as editing the screen brightness and the power button, were much eaiser to acess on Win8.1's Charms bar, than digging into modern PC Settings/Display sub menus, or on the Win10 Start Menu.
