Looks Like I’ll Finally Have Run Windows 10...

Just had my first experience of my PC not meeting the minimum system specs of a game due to still running Windows 7.

Which has been hugely annoying as I was really looking forward to playing Partisans 1941 as it looked like a modern version of Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 which I hugely enjoyed back in the day.

I guess I’m installing the 1TB SSD that’s been sat in my PC Parts Box for the last 2 years and throwing Win 10 on it the next time I have couple of rainy days...

Pesky young ‘uns and their new OS versions!

Honestly, I was all geared up to make the switch 2 years ago, but moving country/setting up a new business put it to the bottom of my to-do list.

I have used 10 as the business PC runs it, so it won’t be the swearing fest it would have been 2 years ago.

I’ll go full 10 as I suspect that more and more games will code solely for Windows 10.

I am still on windows 7. When i went to check my motherboard they have not got any drivers for windows 10. So it has to be a new motherboard etc to move onto windows 10 in the future

****. I might be in the same boat.

Can you please share the link to where you checked for drivers?

Thanks all for your help.

Good to know that my MB is compatible.

What do you get when you download the free Windows 10 upgrade from Microsoft?

Is it a full install iso or just a Win 7 > Win 10 iso?

If it’s the latter, I’ll pick up a sensibly priced Win 10 key from somewhere as I want a fresh install on a new SSD.
