So... Yeah, Windows 10

[nickmaster00]

Ok, very simple indeed, what do you think about the new OS?

I think that the timing for the start of the system is pretty good, but is not ultra-fast (as Microsoft said).

No more default full screen apps is a plus. Having lived with win 8.1, I miss the Charms on the side. Love the multi desktop system (makes it easy to conceal windows...for reasons.)

Overall decent. Has room for improvement.

And lets be honest, no matter what they say, it takes time to get used to a new OS.

P.S. It fixed Bluetooth but borked my multi-touch mouse pad. Eh. Tis a fair tradeoff for me cause I was trying to get my headset working with my laptop.

If I upgrade to Windows 10, am I going to lose all of my stuff or does it transfer over?

If you're going from 8 or 8.1, it won't do anything other than your graphics driver needing to be reinstalled. If on 7, you might have to look it up, since I did it from 8.1 :3

I have to restore my laptop because of some sort of problem with the updates, I already went through the windows support webpages, but they all have the nuclear option of restoring the computer

So before doing that, I need to get an external drive (might take a day or two)

I think it's quite good. Can still feel the transition of style in some places, and it does have room for improvement, but it's definitively good enough to leave ant other OS.

@Cucoo

Reinstall mousepad driver. Worked for my mom's laptop.

It's not Windows XP HD edition or Windows 9.

That and I'm fine with Windows 7 until it becomes unsupported, so, I have no opinion.

Here, have an onion.

Too much botnet involved; that thing is literally Google on steroids.

But wasn't Windows always a botnet field for the last couple of versions?

10 is it's final form. >10 was just leading up to it. You can't disable the Telemtry (reports "usage" and diagnostics information)(and well, you can disable it thru Registry tweaks, but it's the Registry; you change one thing and you break the entire hive) if you don't shell out more money for Enterprise edition, SearchUI (the thing that searches for stuff when you go to the start menu and start typing) sends (seemingly) every keystroke to MS for some reason, you can't turn off Windows Defender for some bizarre reason (well, you can, for probably like 10 minutes. WD gets renabled after some time "automatically"), there's also a bunch of misc information collectors within W10 (i.e it automatically sends samples of files when it needs "further analysis") that's all hidden away in some obscure menu that the average user doesn't know how to get to (hell, I don't even know how to get to it).

If that doesn't deter you, apparently W10 is corrupting hard drive partition styles from NTFS into RAW types. So RIP everything you had on your hard drive. At least there isn't any obvious and blatant "botnetty-data-harvesty"-ness in W7.

edit: 'course I'm only spreading FUD and it's up to you if you want to upgrade; most of this stuff has been confirmed to be enabled and doing whatever thru sites (particularly /g/, for obvious reasons), but there's no official or raw evidence that it's mining private information off your computer.

Well, I updated one of my pcs to Win10 and all the data, all the programs, all the files where in the exact same position I left them in Win8.1, everything worked smoothly, well, the only "change" I had was that Win10 added MSEdge automatically to my task bar, but other than that I had no issues with it.

Then I updated a friend's pc (Win7) to Win10 and it had no issues, I did a check on both machines, and there weren't any differences other than the OS, they were exactly the same as on their past versions, IT EVEN KEPT THE SCREENSAVER!

[Kilelicus]

But did it keep the programs?

[nickmaster00]

Indeed, everything was exactly the way I left it in Win8, it even updated some of the programs to the new version automatically.

No, from Win 7
