Stupid question: Do you need 16 GB of free space just for the install? Assuming so. I want to try this on my tablet but space is an issue. Will wait a good few months or until the first service pack to install Win 10 on my laptop.
is formatting the HD an option or mando?You have to upgrade/update first, then you do a clean install.
clean install means a full wipe, do they provide any backup options during the install, or are you on your own?That's what I read in a FAQ, haven't had a chance to try it myself yet. They made it sound like this is the only way to do a clean install, you have to upgrade first.
oh nvrmind i think i misread, youre saying you can choose a clean install after you already are running win 10?
I have a 100gb SSD that I use for my OS.
So is it basically download an extra 20gb on top of your existing OS and then it wipes the shit all over right?
Get the feeling I should just install this shit on a clean SSD.

Same and I only have 22.5 GB left :whew
Does the 32 bit version still limit the amount of RAM you can utilize?Yes, Microsoft found PAE breaks too many drivers, among other issues, so they leave it off on 32-bit. 64-bit doesn't have the limitation in the first place.

Cortana seems neat, but I don't really see the need to have such functionality on your PC when the same stuff is on your phone.
Also TL;DR on that shit, at least make the image less compressed if you want me to wade through all that shit, nicca.Tell whatever /g/-tard I assume made this.

Anyone know if this is legitimate?
One thing I don't like about windows 10 is the start menu. I mean, I'm glad there's a start menu, but why is it not customizable? It has all this shit I don't want on it, like these hot tip links and stuff and disk cleanup stuff, when I want a quick access to my most used programs right there like with other start screens. I also don't like the scroll down list of installed programs. I want it old Windows style. I think the third party start menu I had for 8.1 is much better than 10's default.
Basically:
MS I want this.

See how there are PROGRAM PEOPLE USE THERE?
Not this.

Honestly, after uninstalling Classic Shell, I've gotten used to the start menu of 10. The only thing I've got to complain about is that the "all apps"/program menu is WORSE than 8's Metro menu and should go back to 9x/7's drill-down menu.
All of that is on. Still getting black start menu.
Still haven't gotten my notification to update yet. :maf

Really, if you are this inflexible in your use of a system, you shouldn't upgrade. Or at least do some basic research.

the new start menu is perfectly fine for desktop. no need to use shitty third party apps.
not feeling it on touch though. I've had trouble using my dell venue pro 8 the other day. 8.1 was better imo overall for touch devices.

Not when it's hiding applications you install, no. I don't have all the folders I had in Classic Shells start menu, for instance. Paint and Task Manager are buried under Windows Accessories, my most used programs aren't listed on Start but other programs that I haven't ever used.
Every time I reboot or start up from shut down, and I try to play a game, it doesn't recognize my controller and I have to reinstall xinput. Help ???
re: Paint, first thing I did was right click -> pin to start. Problem solved there

I ran into that problem with Classic shell, that and it not showing my Metro apps. So far the only ones that work right are:
Startisback++
Startmenu X
Huh? I AM using the xinput wrapper.
No I'm using ps3.
On 8, all I did was install ms 360 driver and then xinput wrapper and was good to go. Could even get wireless with the bluetooth adapter I made. On W10, it works plugged doing the same steps that are on that site you linked, and then when I reboot, the controller cannot be recognized and I need to uninstall wrapper and reinstall to use it again.
Huh? Virtual desktop?
And go to the SCPServer.exe that installs the wrapper to begin with? Just leave it on?
That's odd. Windows 10 seemed to be less of a resource hog than 7 and 8.
My T100 runs great with Windows 10!
Why did my PC just upgrade from W7 to W10 without me telling it to? I'm so annoyed and confused right now... :doge
Yes, Windows 10 is now considered a "recommended" update and will automatically go through if you do Windows Updates.
Which you should, because there's no reason not to update to Win10
Most GOG games work, but there are exceptions. Deadlock 2: Shrine Wars is currently incompatible with Win 10. It's supposed to work fine on Win 7.
Why did my PC just upgrade from W7 to W10 without me telling it to? I'm so annoyed and confused right now... :doge
I don't think it can do that. Does anyone else have access to your computer? I signed up my wife's PC for the upgrade, but I still had to actually initiate the install on my own.

Looking at this (http://www.infoworld.com/article/3043526/microsoft-windows/microsoft-upgraded-users-to-windows-10-without-their-ok.html), that does seem to be the case lately. I downloaded that GWX control panel thing to keep my computer from updating for now.
Holy shit apt-get works WTF is this magic?

Remember my enthusiasm? It has passed.
My PC's Start Menu has disappeared. Now I'm running DISM inside of PowerShell, and it has been stopped at 20% for the last 10 minutes.
Anyone else run into this problem? Apparently it's pretty common.
It is slow. It also didn't work. I did everything here:Remember my enthusiasm? It has passed.

I didn't refresh, because it will nuke my non-Win10/non-MS apps according to the site, and I would have to figure out how to reinstall stuff I may no longer have easily at hand.
I like W10, or rather, I find little fault with it, but the way they're forcing it onto people now is just scummy. It acts like malware, flat out.Yes, I agree completely. Win10 actually runs better on my crappy old discount PC, and it's stunningly better UX than Win8. Of course, there are root canal and wisdom teeth procedures which are more pleasant than Win8.
Went to bed last night with my computer running Windows 7. Woke up this morning to it running Windows 10.
Your computer should never just change its OS on you.
downgraders :neogafI would have downgraded from Vista to XP too
Vista gets a bad rap because of a shitty launch.
And by the way for you babies that don't know, getting shit done by typing commands i.e. command-line interface, is fukin awesome and allows a great deal of power & flexibility.
This is why I'm pivoting towards Linux. It's ugly as hell, but at least it's open, honest, and straight forward.
Also instead of downgrading y'all should upgrade to Chrome OS. :rejoice
(http://www.donnahighfill.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/people-laughing.jpg)
Guy behind them is using Chrome OS.
And by the way I don't have much faith in Apple once I saw they also went for that goddamned godawful flat design aesthetic for Mac OS for basically no reason. There's absolutely no reason for Mac OS to look similar to iOS. They're distinct enough that they deserve to look distinct.
'Flat everything' is such a dumb design trend. It looks great on smartphones, okay on tablets... and that's basically it.
Motherfuckers are trying to kill the desktop computer, yo.
Vista gets a bad rap because of a shitty launch.Yeah, but Windows ME deserves every bit of bile thrown at it.

TIL those things on the right don't look like buttons cause they're not (http://i.imgur.com/TuXhcY3.gif) enough
Do you think Android does it any better?The only Android devices I've fondled have been other people asking me for help with their "free"-ish phones that they can't figure out. Pretty sure they're running non-Vanilla/carrier-muddled versions of the OS, and they're in Japanese. Essentially I am always less worried about aesthetics in those situations, and am just trying to minimize the amount of time I'm in contact with them.

The whole thing with Material Design is that it brings some of the drop-shadows back where it makes sense, e.g. for buttons and floating nav elements.

Probably doesn't mean anything coming for me but I dislike the iOS aesthetics. It's far better than when Forstall was crapping things up, but it's too... sparse and "thin." Like, even the default text looks too thin to me, lol. And the hollow icons are worse UX than full icons (https://medium.com/@aub/hollow-icons-a93647e5a44b#.qs2a6j7hu). iOS should eat a cheeseburger.

Also the translucency reminds me of Aero but not in a good way. And it's used everywhere. The quick settings panel doesn't need to be semi-transparent ffs.
Nope, I'm saying it looks like you're in a shoe store, going back and trying on the same pairs of shoes, over and over again.Dufus, I'm sorry if I've got a case of mistaken identity, but haven't you been installing Linux, Windows 7, Windows 10 in rotation for the past couple months? If so, I'm honestly worried you have some sort of compulsive disorder.
You saying there's something wrong with trying out a bunch of different things to see which you like the most? :gurl
Anyways I got used to Windows 7 again. Feelsgoodman :rejoice
Support lasts until 2020... I wonder what will be available then. Hopefully Windows 11 with a normal UI suitable for PC.

Usually that can be remedied by making the buttons a distinct color from the rest of the layout and by adding a hover/click animation:

That's the direction things are going though? One of the bicycle sites I frequent got a slick but inferior redesign recently and part of their rationale was that 50+% of their views were from mobile alone.

Go ahead and have your own stupid opinions, but casually dismissing the difficult work of others as simple or uncomplicated without being to perform it is unacceptable. I get enough of that every time Trump opens his mouth.
Today Windows 10 told me that the XBox One software development kit might be dangerous to install.

You'll eventually have to update for DX12, so you might as well do it now.Yeah, I upgraded for DX12. I haven't really ran into anything serious other than a minor mobo related bug which was not technically Windows' fault. (The BIOS had to be flashed to correct how it identified itself without drivers present, Windows 7 didn't like it either.)

It'll work, but not as well as 8.1 seems to be the common consensus with Tablets.
So Windows 8 wasn't that good for PC but good for tablets.
Windows 10 is good for PC but not so good for tablets.
Why won't Microsoft understand that this whole unified OS thing is just a bunch of bullshit and you need to separate operating systems? Just do like Apple does ffs.
