Windows 10? what do you think of it

[Yorus]

I think it's a good operating system in terms of performance and fluidity, but the interface gives me the feeling of being half-finished. And I'm not saying this because of the pseudo-metro or parts that seem to be made for mobile, it's that you go to the typical system properties window, or the network adapter properties and they have changed very little since Windows 2000, and with Windows 8 and 10 the contrast between some parts and others has become veryyyy evident, and there is one of each in some like Windows Update. It's not to start a flame, but that's not seen in MacOS or in the vast majority of Linux distributions.

It's clear that it will be bad. It would be good if it was called 9 but since they skipped it there's nothing to be done.

Having tried it out very briefly, it feels like it's in open beta: anyone can use it but the goal is to have hundreds of millions of users to find bugs... and boy, you'll find them.
As for taking advantage of the integrated graphics along with the discrete one, nothing yet. The super-powerful DirectX 12... right now, what for? And that's assuming your computer has drivers for the brand new OS.
If they really want to finish off XP or W7 (for me, the best by far), they're going to have to work a lot harder at it.

...and about it being the Matahari of OSes, we'll talk another day.

I have gone back to 8.1 because of drivers for my gpus, the vram dump with virtual is so annoying that I did a clean install and said goodbye for a while. But those rough drivers don't affect me to see what the OS is that dominates in terms of performance and fluidity, 8.1 is fast, works well and is stable, but as I say, drivers aside, win 10 goes further, makes better use of hardware using fewer resources. I wish it a great future, but until in 6-7 months I think I won't go back, either the situation changes a lot soon or nanai XDDD. Goodbye.

I for the moment continue. Not Win10 and without driver problems.

I am testing win 10 for free, I upgraded from 8.1, and so far it's going well
nothing like 8.1, more like a mouse and many improvements in general, pretty good
they need to update a little and compatibility with some drivers but overall good,

@mauro905:

Did you know that Windows 10 is now being downloaded automatically on all computers? Even if you don't want to install it?

That's not entirely accurate.

For that to happen, a series of update packages must be installed beforehand, which are included in optional updates (but does anyone really install those?).

• KB2990214 (W7)
• KB3044374 (W8)
• KB3021917 (W7)
• KB2976978 (W8)
• KB2952664
• KB3035583

Then, silently, it creates the famous (hidden) folders $Windows.~BT and $Windows.~WS, which is where the installation/update files are located.

Avoiding the update is as simple as uninstalling the mentioned packages and hiding the update notification to update. If we change our minds, it's the same but the other way around.

I take back what I said then, thanks for clarifying my doubt

HELLO FOR those who have it installed, even I did not get the download, can you install this application, which seems to eliminate some kind of spyware that Microsoft uses…???

Noticias3D - Destroy Windows 10 Spying eliminates Windows 10 spying

You will tell me if it is true…

[Espinetenbolas]

Yes, if someone tells me... I see it as inevitable that I will end up using it because they will stop supporting 7, but for now I won't switch.

By the way, the best patch from the official website: Destroy Windows Spying - Windows spying removal tool ;D

[Espinetenbolas]

I have to admit that I installed Windows 10 Pro on two computers and it works well.

Although they give it an APP approach and the fact of linking mobile, laptop and PC to work in the cloud (both data and contacts, preferences and applications)…. which I have deactivated.

As for drivers, there is a version of almost everything for Win10... and if not, for example, the scanner (Canon 8800F) the drivers from Win8.1/7/vista work but it's the same as always... it seems that Microsoft wants to do as Apple with OSX and keep changing the system instead of maintaining and patching old OS.

It has the advantage that there are hardly any updates yet... recently I installed two Win7 and I spent two or three days to leave them with the browsers, the office and drivers... well, and the infinite updates that were "what never ends"... exasperating and exhausting it was.

That, along with Microsoft's plans to stop supporting 7, has pushed me to put this Windows on which, so far, touch wood, everything is going well.

[whoololon]

I have no doubt that W10 is a good OS, but when it comes out of this "beta release" stage and different manufacturers offer the respective drivers, and I'm not talking about peripherals.
In my case, after 30 seconds I got a blue screen due to the motherboard drivers, although they have already been released, I don't feel like updating again.
Apart from that, it is already possible to activate W10 (clean installation) with the key of W7 and W8. :sisi: When it comes to formatting, I will try to see.
As for the support of W7, apart from everyone's preferences, I don't think it's such a rush: WinXP (32 bits + SP3) will still have support until 2019. ;D

[Espinetenbolas]

As for support, it's true that it will still take time, but not as long as you say: http://windows.microsoft.com/es-es/windows/lifecycle

The thing is that Microsoft is almost "forcing-inciting" people to switch to 10… it's very expensive to maintain both systems: Everything was a mistake: Microsoft clarifies the forced update to Windows 10 from Windows 7 and 8

In any case, it's always the same and I think a clean installation is preferable, which is what I did… no updates... a USB 3.0 and a good SSD will get you up and running in no time.

That is, you need to have the Bios-UEFI patched with SLIC or the crack won't work :mute:

[whoololon]

No, I mean a clean install of W10 build 10565 activated with the key of W7 or W8/ 8.1 (those of you who are in Insider). :wall:

Those who are not assigned to the Insider program, will have access to this feature starting in November. ;D

Edit: For all this, I recommend waiting for things to stabilize a bit, W10 will become a very good OS, but not yet.

[Espinetenbolas]

Well I think I have the final version…I'm not an insider and I didn't "download it from the Internet" (torrent, direct download, etc.)... according to AIDA64 it is the one with 10.0.10240.16545 (Win10 RTM)

You can download it directly from MS servers with the "MediaCreationToolx64" -> http://www.microsoft.com/es-es/software-download/windows10

I don't know if there will be other versions or revisions but of course unless some program that is essential for me doesn't work well I won't go back to Windows 7 no matter what.

[krampak]

I was unaware that the current version of Windows 10 is considered unfinished. Now I have read about Windows 10 Threshold 2, which seems to be coming out next month.

[whoololon]

Of course, Windows 10 is fully operational (what else would you expect), maybe it's just my impression.

Because I wasn't offered an upgrade to Windows 98 with my W95 license, or to Vista with my WXP license.
No, Windows 10 has been released and is offered for free as an upgrade from W7 and W8/8.1 (or simply for free for users with a license for one of the mentioned environments), which caused a lot of talk until it became clear that it was going to be this way. There is no doubt that there is no better publicity than putting the words "Windows" and "free" in the same sentence. It's something unprecedented.
Even more so, it gets even more complicated with the announcement that it will be free if you reserve it before 7/29/16. But didn't it come out on July 29 of this year?
Besides, where do you reserve it and how do you know you have it reserved?
Easy, you download a series of optional updates (they didn't know which ones until much later, so many downloaded them all) and soon you'll have the update icon in the taskbar.
That's right, now every time you want to check for updates, you can only update the OS, because they forgot that it should be optional.
This has already been corrected, leaving many users with an OS that maybe they didn't want that much.
It announces a very unusual backward compatibility, and puts the ball in the court of manufacturers who must develop drivers for all that outdated hardware. In fact, many have not released drivers for their products until very recently, forcing users to try their luck with drivers from previous operating systems.
There's also the issue of the elements that make up the OS, which are not yet fixed. They will be added, changed or eliminated in future revisions.
The control panel, for instance, could be replaced by "Settings". The interface is still being tweaked and it's not certain that WMC won't come back (with a new look and name), despite not being included right now.

My impression? My impression is that the "real" launch would be next year, and all this is just a way to use users as a crazy "test team", to gather performance data in different configurations; I hope for the sake of a fully-fledged operating system.

Never mind, my own paranoia. :ugly:
