Originally posted by LeDave Hey guys, we all have until July 29th to install the new Windows 10. I was wondering how many of you did download it or panning to download it. And what is your OS that you upgraded from or what is it now before you decide to upgrade?
I have Windows 8.1 and I don't know! Your opinions are what I need, talk away!
I upgraded my 2012 Sony laptop from windows 7 to windows 10 late last year. Following some registry patches (to remove the stupid second click requirement on the lock screen) and software tweaks (classic shell, disabling most metro apps, disabling Microsoft's spyware), I like it overall.
I also have a MSI gaming laptop with windows 10. The main issue there is that it has a 4K display, and lots of programs (including photoshop CS6 and many IDEs) still fail to properly scale windows, let alone natively support the higher screen resolution. That said, photos and web site graphics look so much better thanks to the high pixel density! I followed the same patching procedure on this machine. The lock screen really drove me nuts since it only makes sense on touch-enabled devices!
My main complaint about windows 10 is that it doesn't yet strike a balance between the old and new control panel, and metro and non-metro apps. Half of my system settings are found in the "new" settings app, while others are only accessible through the classic control panel. I also prefer a more traditional start menu layout; to that end Classic Shell does a great job of balancing the old style with the new.
My desktop is still running windows 7 as I have not yet received the download notification. I'm not too worried about upgrading since the hardware is modern and if it ain't broke, don't fix it
