Windows 10

Anyone tried bf4 yet does it work? I don't want to update to find out bf4 doesn't work and i have to go back to windows 7 until they fix it.

If someone can just let me know it works then ill update tonight. Just backed up my entire appdata folder (4gb) and a handful of other folders like foobar and putty and ready to format c:

Everything setup how I like it now, classic start. All my progs. It feels really light and snappy, like 7 did VS 8 for me.

Starts up fast, love the new snap, I can have a small window on the right playing a video and then snap the left browser and it auto fills right up up to edge, much better than having to drag and resize them.

Games run great, and Nvidia control panel doesn't freeze up like on 8.1, oh and downloads don't stop either. This looks like a keeper to me.
 
I know I will take some flak for saying this, but the start menu should have been the alternate option, not the default option.

It's just too cumbersome/restrictive to go back to now and I'm sure it will put some people off Windows 10 if they don't realise Metro is an option.


anything I don't mind said:
I just ran the setup.exe from the dvd on my windows 7 to see what would happen and it claims it can keep my settings personal files and programs installed when upgrading to windows 10 from windows 7.

What you mean just like 8, 8.1 and 7 could when upgrading? :P
 
I never had a good experience doing that with windows 7. Maybe i always formatted without realizing how well it worked.

I just did it with windows 10 and it transferred all my applications across and settings seem to be the same as well. Just going to do some more tests.

The only thing it reinstalled was my razer mouse software that happened before windows 10 loaded.

Just tested bf4 and no it doesn't work. directx error. Probably needs new amd drivers.

I'm not liking the PC Settings on the Start Menu and would prefer to replace it with Control Panel. Also when you pin things to the Start Menu, they pin as tiles and not pinned programs as Windows 7.

If you click i don't have an account at the bottom there is the option to logon without an account. Then you use only a local account.

Agreed, but it would mean you cannot use the Calendar feature, as that requires Microsoft account. I want the Gmail calendar be synchronised into Calendar, but that won't happen.

So, in a nutshell, it's their "do it my way, or go elsewhere" mantra that's putting a lot of W7 lovers off. I'll be sticking with Linux, as they don't force you to do something you don't want to.
