I already see that I have the definitive version :3

I updated my laptop last weekend, but I went back to 7 because I couldn't avoid the download of the updates in the Home version. That limitation is a pain for those of us who use mobile connection.

I've had it since the day it came out and so far I'm very happy with it, I only had a small problem with the driver for one of the sound cards and the printer but I reinstalled it and it's ready. I came from 8.1 and 7 and for now I'm definitely staying with this one, as I use it I'll see if I find anything I don't like.

A blow to Vaio users: Sony has not prepared drivers for these devices.
It is recommended not to upgrade to W10 for the time being.
Endevé… :wall:

[Yorus]

Oh dear, a bit disappointing for a brand like Sony.

Well Vaio will soon be from Sony...

Well, maybe they have been a bit asleep in the vineyard with the Sony controllers, but for all that, I would rather the brand warn me that there may be problems with the update and that it is better to wait for them to have a solution to those problems, than to have to eat my words just like that.
The one who warns is not a traitor... they say.
Is it a nuisance for Vaio users? Maybe.
But they are not going to die for not having Windows from minute 1. After all, it is not a security update, nor is their equipment at risk.

Not to mention that the vast majority of w8 or 8.1 drivers are worth it, all it takes is a lot of desire to try

Even on Windows 7. I have made a Vaio with an nVidia 7600 go work, which is supposedly not supported on Windows 10. To do this, you have to modify the.inf file so that it accepts the graphics, but I also had this issue with that computer on Windows 7.

Hello,

Any more experience with win10? I'm getting myself an alienware exclusively for gaming and it comes with win 8 preinstalled. I don't know if I should leave it that way and forget about it or try to upgrade to win10 with the possible headaches associated

Best regards!

I had no doubts, I have not had a problem with any game on my laptop, and I have the feeling that the system uses less processor, which is important on relatively old computers like mine, a core2 duo from 2009. The latest rumor is that they will put in a patch to compress RAM to limit as much as possible the use of the paging file, if you don't have enough RAM you will notice it a lot (although on an alienware I don't think that will be your biggest problem :D)

Yes, a system that is already used on Macs and Linux will be used.
It is about, instead of using the paging file, compressing the data of the applications you have open. It seems that this action of compressing/decompressing makes the processor work a little more, but it is faster than accessing the disk (even if it is an SSD). All this data is compressed in the System process.

It works perfectly on OSX, I still have 2GB of RAM on my macbook, which is almost impossible with Windows. The memory waste was one of the biggest drawbacks of Windows, they also need to optimize the active services in the background...

Thanks Kynes. The alienware comes with "only" 8gb, but I hope it will be more than enough. I'm getting on the win10 bandwagon, do you think the upgrade will be enough or should I do a clean install (if that's possible). I'm worried that some of the alienware drivers will stop working if I mess everything up, and I don't know if it will come with driver discs, etc.

Regards!

Indeed, there are users who are having problems after upgrading to W10. Similar to the Sony case, there are Alienware models for which the upgrade is not recommended.
Although the X51 R2 does appear among the supported models, it's better to wait a couple of months until Dell prepares a more refined driver package.

8 GB is what most of us mortals have at the moment, I don't think you'll have problems in that regard. ;D

Edit: Regarding the upgrade in general, I found this regarding KB3035583. Paranoia?

[kalevala]

Thanks Whololon,
I will do a little research to see what people say about compatibility issues, but it's wise to wait a couple of months to see what happens

Best regards

They say you will be able to download Windows 10 from the Microsoft website, install it and use it without entering a product key.
You will have a completely functional Windows for free but illegally.
Here I have existential doubts, if they let you update pirated copies with a free Windows or if I download that same Windows directly, do I stop having a pirated copy?
From what I understand, in both ways you are in limbo between legal and illegal, good and evil, angel or demon.
Microsoft does not recognize you.

You won't have a "completely functional" W10, the operability is limited to test functions.
Maybe here they explain it in a more concise way.

Edit: But at this point we already know how it goes, and no security system they put on it will be foolproof... I mean infallible. :ugly:

If you download the ISO from the Microsoft website (well, actually you download a program from which a USB installation or an ISO is created) you will have the system installed, but not activated, so it will not be 100% legal until you enter the corresponding serial.
On the other hand, what I have not tried is to enter the serial of a Windows 7/8/8.1 directly into Windows 10.
But if you have your previous original Windows, you will not have to pay for a Windows 10 license again. However, you will have to use the equivalent version of Windows 10.
It is not valid to have a Windows 7 home and want to install Windows 10 pro, for that you do not have a license if you do not upgrade from Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 8 pro.
