Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
I was a fairly big windows 8 hater until it came on a surface pro I purchased. Still hated it...and then discovered that once you add Classic Shell or any other start menu application... everything suddenly got better. Now I love 8, its on all my PCs and I cant imagine going back to 7. There's a kind of polish that exist… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
I had flashbacks to Microsoft BOB when I messed with Windows 8, it still felt like a kludged together mess after installing the start menu replacement stuff. I used to worry about recommending Macs to older family members but Windows 8 is such a mess I figure they might as well take the plunge now. The Dell computer we… -

that's true. big difference between 8 and 8.1. 8 is indeed rubbish. -
Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
So apparently Microsoft announced that Windows 7/8 will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free the first year, however what does that actually mean? Can you get a free upgrade to Windows 10 the first year, or can just upgrade and use Windows 10 for free the first year (as trial)? I'm getting a bit conflicting info,… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Yuuup. I occasionally use a Surface Pro 3 for work and, while it certainly works and I can get stuff done, Windows 8 is kind of a pain to work with because it's so disjointed. If they can provide a more seamless, overall integrated experience that uses the best features of Win 7 and 8, then I'll upgrade ASAP. -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
People underestimate the amount of updates windows team did to Windows 8. If you ignore start menu that most hated and just look at technical things people that have left said that it was most advanced OS they've ever worked on. I think that if you configure windows 8 start correctly its much much faster and better than… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Upgraded to Win10, I like it. Feels very similar to 7 with some of the new stuff of 8 but still way more 7 than 8. Takes a bit to get used too but that was the same of going up to 7. Everything has been working great for the last few months. The only issue I've run into is that if I turn off my second monitor I have to… -
Re: Windows 10 free upgrade for Win 7, 8
Pancakes : it has nothing to do with handling change, but everything to do with handling pointless changes. For instance, I know for a fact that on 7 I can fully disable any "Aero" effect in order to squeeze the best performance out of my GPU in CG apps and Photoshop at all times. With 8 relying so heavily on accelerated… -

Apparently it WILL hose some sort of GUI. Not full on desktop, but still a GUI with ability to launch applications. http://www.stephendonaghy.com/?p=8
