Title: Windows 10?
Post by: JudgeDredd on August 06, 2015, 04:32:13 PM
Anyone installed it on their gaming rig? Any problems? Is it worth it or just a pita?

I don't have touch screen or anything like that - it's just ready for downloading so I'm just wondering if anyone has taken the plunge with their gaming rig.

I don't normally jump onto a new Windows OS

There's a thread here - http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=13776.0 (http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=13776.0)
I'm running it on my main computer right now. So far no problems and I like the new interface. It's what Windows 8 should have been.

I got Win 10 today - downloaded, installed and seems to be running fine. I'm now just getting familiar with the differences. I do like Edge.

Do you guys have problems with performance. My rig seems to run much slower now that I installed win 10 then with win 8.1

Also so much slower to start up.

Maybe your comp's speed will return once Microsoft gets done rooting around in all you files for tasty tidbits?

I read somewhere where someone else had a performance drop after the upgrade. It turned out to be a bad install and was fixed by re-installing. Probably worth a try. Performance shouldn't drop at all with the upgrade.

And now I found something that really piss me off. When I download from Hotmail with the new edge I can no longer choose which folder to download too.

Cool and the smileys on this page doesnt work either anymore. (that was sarcasme, but since I cant use the smileys I thought I would write it)
