Blackmage Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Just an FYI for anyone wanting to go to windows 10, but missed the free upgrade period. If you download the media creation tool from microsofts website, load it onto a USB stick and run the "upgrade" from there, you will still be able to upgrade and have a valid license of windows 10, for free. Not sure how long microsoft will allow this to go on for, but if you are on 7, or 8, i would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RassCar Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 But... muh Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 haha ive been impressed with 10 thus far. i had it through beta and picked it up as soon as it came out. albeit part of my job to be up on this stuff, its been kind to me. I'll be moving our entire company to windows 10 shortly now that all of our special programs are compatible with it, thats only 165 PC's at $199 a crack for Windows 10 Pro if it wasn't still free.

ttocs Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 the only only thing I hate about 10 is all the constant sales things popping up in the corner. Buy this, buy outlook, buy protection.... Once twice a day I have to close out a window I have done 10-15 times before already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 My work computer is Windows 10 and the only notifications I ever get are when it tells me it completed/installed an update. It has suggested I try some feature here and there, like some kind of calendar/planner thing, etc. but hasn't tried to sell me anything. I like it pretty well. I have 7 on my laptop at home because IMO 8 was absolute dog shit unless you had a touch screen. I could put 10 on my laptop but it's a POS now, and will likely be getting replaced soon anyway.

Tabres Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I've never run into those notifications, either. I'm guessing that may have to do with me running Enterprise edition, though. My opinion, once you get used to Windows 10, it's really nice. I very much prefer it to previous generations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 thankfully the learning curve isnt too bad for a basic end user. "Wheres the internet? How do i get to myspace?" the biggest complaint ive had is how do you turn it off, and what is this cortana BS. otherwise all my end users really cant tell a difference, which is nice.
