QOTW: When will you upgrade to Windows 10?

[brunoeiti]

Probably one week after the release, I just hate windows 8... I won't wait much before upgrade

[SilentAvian]

Won't likely upgrade for a few months, to see all the kinks get worked out. Since we obviously will have many conflicts, with apps probably not wanting to work under Windows 10. I might be proven wrong, by those actually testing Windows 10 right now. Just until we can confirm little to no issue, for those moving from Win 7/8/8.1 to 10 I'm going to wait. I have a whole year according to everything, so it's up to prove everything is fine.

not even checked whether my mobo and integrated stuff on it will have drivers for win 10. Don't want the sound, cpu, chipset and network not working, that could cause a few problems.

graphics should be fine, even for DX12 on the 750ti, from what I heard a few months ago. 7xxx series and above for NVidia will be getting win 10 DX12. but i'll need to check that again aswell.

so I'm very prepared for it

I'm not upgrading to this version, it's simply not what I want from an OS on a PC. I simply don't want a "digital assistant", nor am I convinced by the fact that this is being offered for free, when previous versions were commanding between £70 and £110. They *have* to be offering up people's personal information to be able to continue to run a profitable business.

I will at very least be waiting a few weeks for solid reviews about performance stability, DX12 benchmarks etc. Even then I'm unlikely to upgrade until 7 support is dropped unless the DX12 performance boost is worth it, and if I find the new UI suitable (which it wasn't in the last tech preview I used which was admittedly quite old). If the DX12 performance boost isnt significant enough then I will value Windows 7 UI more, at least until we see games properly utilising DX12 and the void starts to develop between DX11 and 12.

And as has been said over and over already, there are far too many uncertainties currently because Microsoft's PR has been terrible. Their PR department should probably ban the developers from talking about Win10 without it being QCed, especially if its through the medium of twitter. 140 Characters is never enough short of a headline linking to an actual blog post with the proper information.

Yep already running the beta Love it

[lumireleon]

Yes...........dx12..........why not?

I'm going to wait until there's definative info about the licence regarding upgrading pc due to the ambiguous MS statement that Win 10 will last for the "Lifetime of the device".

If I upgrade from my Retail Windows 7 Ult 64bit (which allows me to re-install after hardware upgrades/changes) to Win 10 and then change mobo/cpu/gpu and re-install and ms says "That's a new computer you need a new licence" then I'm gonna stick to Win 7.

It's the "Trigger's Broom" situation from Only Fools. He got an award for using the same broom for Donkeys years, ok he replaced the handle and head umpteen times but to him it was the same broom. In my case I've had the same PC since '94, replaced every single part in it so many times but to me it's still the same computer.

I've signed up to upgrade all my devices, it's free. So as long as the basic work on day one and there's no catastrophic problems I can't complain. There's too many people expecting everything for nothing, they've learnt their lesson from 8.1 and Windows 10 will be to 8/8.1 what 7 was to Vista. Evolution not revolution is key.

[Myss_tree]

Have a dual boot desktop with 7 and 8.1. Will probably upgrade the 8.1 install as i am not keen on it as a desktop, but will not upgrade on day 1, will give it a couple of weeks.
Once have had a play with it will then decide whether to upgrade the laptop from 8.1 which as its a dell XPS 12, it works extremely well with 8.1, if 10 strips out touchscreen features from 8.1 then probably no upgrade.

[shamus21]

on my gaming rig yes from day 1 but work computer laptops etc forget it maybe some time in the new year.

[Biscuit]

Once Im sure its stable. I may well upgrade one of my machines as a 'test' machine then once im stable I'll roll it out to others. My work laptop being the last one.

[hesham1516]

I'm going to hold off for a few months to see how they handle the licenses and just in case there are some issues.

[The_Brown_Light]

I got a year after it goes live so I will watch how the launch goes and post release goes to see if it is worth it.

[outwar6010]

Im going to do it straight away on my laptop and wait a few weeks on my rig.

[imshimaru]

I think I'll delay for a short while. I'm liking what I see on the preview so far.
