When you can't make a reasoned reply the obvious thing to do is to offer some insults.



Some of the best ways on the internet to prove that you're right even though you ran out of anything to say:

appeal to totally non-authoritative authority

post a link to a youtube video (that is pure ninja!)

call a person a troll and then keep replying to them.


Everyone has that icon you dolt. That doesn't mean it's ready for your computer. If you click it and it doesn't let you install Windows 10 from there then it's just letting you reserve the upgrade, but again you're either an idiot or trolling so I'm going to ignore you as worthless internet space from here on out.

Re: Windows 10 "upgrade"? haha

I just received my notification that my upgrade to Windows 10 Pro from Windows 8.1 Pro is ready to install. I am a little skeptical about driver and program compatibility, unless I can use the Windows compatibility feature for certain programs/software. I have heard mixed reviews on Windows 10, some have issues, others say they have no issues at all. I am looking for some thoughts from those who have upgraded to Windows 10 (especially the Pro Version) to see if it is worth upgrading yet or not. Most of my hardware is new and with Windows Pro, I can disable automatic updates, which I believe will help with driver issues. I am concerned (as another poster stated) about drivers such as those from Schiit for my Bifrost Uber, but perhaps Windows compatibility mode would work if it doesn't work correctly with Windows 10 Pro.

SO basically, I am just looking for some feedback on whether or not to go ahead and perform the upgrade. I plan on making a System Image backup, as wll as cloning my main OS drive, however since all of my Hard drives and SSD's were fried recently and I had to replace them, I really do not have much on this PC yet, and really nothing of extreme importance (or anything I couldn't simply backup).

I also have read that it was fairly easy to roll-back to Windows 8.1 Pro if needed.

I am just looking for thoughts from those who have performed the upgrade as to whether or not to go ahead and make the jump to Windows 10 Pro yet.

Thank you for any suggestions, comments, and/or advice.


FYI, my in place upgrade form win 7 Pro top win 10 pro failed 3 times and reverted successfully back to win 7.  Waiting a few months before I try it again and will probably do it on one of my least used win 7 machines.

Successfull update from win8 pro to win10 here. Got some funny stuff going though, like one piece of software I can't uninstall afterwards. Nothing a clean install couldn't fix I think.

I'm a bit wary about upgrading on my lenovo tablet however, given there's no easy way to reinstall.

Successful upgrade of my Surface Pro 3, Win 8.1 to Win 10. Went perfectly as far as I can tell so far. I downloaded the Win 10 upgrade tool and installed, rather than waiting for the Windows Update notification.

If you guys are worried about stability and compatibility, there is a reason why businesses and corporations are still running Windows 7. And BTW, I used to be an IT Director. So yeah, listen to me. And this thread is giving me a headache and making Changstar not fun for me.

Thanks for your input you IT dinosaur. The rest of us will live on the bleeding edge of buggy/unsafe/unstable.

I for one welcome our new Microsoft Windows 10 overlords.

Oh, you mean other than just being slow as hell to roll things out and retire old tech? We were still running some 2000 boxes first half of this year. Win7 rollout wasn't until late '14. :) I get it, though. I leave the bleeding edge stuff for home.

Gorramit windows, stop trying to upgrade yourself... how many times do I have to say no until you listen? do I need a safeword or something?

I'm glad I actually have a legit Win7* disk that I can install from if things go awry.

*probably the best feature when I bought this laptop years ago, it came right at the tail end of Vista and I could upgrade for free to Win7 (except that "free" upgrade cost $30 in shipping... still, a legit disk for $30 isn't bad).

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

Uninstall the KB3035583 in windows update. It should stop bothering you.

A lot of professional automotive diagnostic tools are still only compatible with Windows XP.
