AsNCo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks for the update! But I'd rather not force it though in case this is actually the 'Beta' version where you'll be on that Beta for the rest of your life until they choose to terminate the beta any time they want. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dog Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I don't know whether to update now and hope it doesn't screw anything up. Or, just wait a while for any major bugs to be found and squashed. First world problems eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsNCo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Careful. I was running into BSOD thanks to my Eset Antivirus the moment I looked up at what was causing the BSOD.It's all fine now so it's more about getting used to this new design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really will not have to worry. In the recovery menu, you can choose to downgrade back to Windows 8.1 But this option will only be available for 1 month. Or you can look at it under the recovery settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex49H Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'd wait a couple of patches before downloading. Some bugs in it. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsNCo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'd wait a couple of patches before downloading. Some bugs in it. Just saying. Windows 10 has been tested since the beginning of 2015 all the way till July by the Windows 10 beta testers that any of us could apply. So it's actually really stable and really fast. The issue with my Eset's Firewall seems to have gone away after I went into safe mode and disabled it at Startup and then once I boot back into Windows, I just enable it again and do a few restarts just to be sure. And everything is fine and dandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Od1n Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 i wouldnt update, last time i read the update requirements it said its a one year free OS and then you need to pay, you re not getting a free OS when upgrading to windows10 aside from that too much games from microsoft and especially the xbox one itself have been pushed out too early, therefore id wait and see how buggy the OS is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsNCo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 i wouldnt update, last time i read the update requirements it said its a one year free OS and then you need to pay, you re not getting a free OS when upgrading to windows10 aside from that too much games from microsoft and especially the xbox one itself have been pushed out too early, therefore id wait and see how buggy the OS is I would agree that it is still buggy. But.. the other point that you mentioned is wrong. Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users can upgrade to Windows 10 for free. But this offer is only limited to one year. After the upgrade window, if you want to upgrade to Windows 10, you will have to buy it like as if it is brand new. But.. As long as you have upgraded to Windows 10 now instead of after the upgrade window, then it is free forever. It is not a yearly subscription or anything and you won't be charged as long as you upgrade within this 'Free Upgrade' period. Just that, I would highly recommend you make a new recovery image based on Windows 10 in case of an OS corruption or a virus. Where you can then restore your Windows to the new Windows 10 image instead of the Windows 7/8 CD that comes with your package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen it should be in your updates now as i just re-installed Windows 8.1 and it asked straight away to free upgrade. It's downloading as we speak, i did the force update way and it worked fine and installed only trouble was it would not activate so i went back to 8.1 and bam its doing its thing. Iread if you dont let the proper update install it you need a product key and mines in Bios so couldnt be arsed to mess around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
