Windows 10: Why is Windows 10 a must have OS?

I did start getting updates about 1 hour ago--No build but at least WU is working again.

 

If you are a Gamer Win 10 is fantastic,

 

My impression is that most of what Win 10 improves is marginal, and not of particular significance to many types of users.

DirectX 12 is probably what I see as the biggest improvement, and that's specifically for better performance in future games.

Some things Win 10 doesn't improve, but maybe takes away functionality that a user is accustomed to and prefers, and in some cases, whole features are removed - such as Windows Media Centre (which I don't use).

 

Windows 10 is NOT a must have OS. It's a must avoid OS. Incompatibility with DX9 games( which is a deal breaker for me). It has no MY Computer icon, and constantly locks my computer up where I have to pull the power cord to be able to reboot it. No wonder they are giving free copies away.

 

I am a gamer on my stationary. Core i7 4790K, 16Gbyte ram, MSI GTX980Ti Gaming 6Gbyte Vram, ASUS SWIFT ROG 27" 2560x1440 144hz monitor

But on my laptop, I only want a lean, clean OS that can run with low resources (longer time on battery). Windows 10 10130 preview don't like my laptop though (Asus ATK driverpackage for the keyboard gives some errors), so I am unsure if I will be able to use Windows 10 from day1 on this.

The stationary is another story. It will transform to windows 10 Pro ASAP (in my language)

 

Aren't updates going to be automatic and mandatory in the final release?

 

From what I hear only in the W10 core, Pro will be able to delay.

 

There is a unofficial service pack 4 for windows xp

Windows 7 is not modern? Since when?

Honestly, stay with Win7. Windows 10 is way to buggy.
I've already reinstalled 7, and until the bugs are worked out of 10(and there are a LOT), I will not be using the free upgrade.

 

Yeahhhhhhhh, I remember that! I was on a beta for something or other, and we had about three HP touch machines that we were passing around between us. It never got to me, though. The things kept breaking down and the beta ended before everyone got a whack at one of the machines, errr, ummm, that is, devices. *Smile

 

No, not at all.

 

Yes it does.

 

Did anybody notice that Realtek audio drivers are Dx12 compatible ?

 

My Computer is called This PC and could be placed on desktop easily. Compatibility with Dx9 is an issue MS should solve soon if they want more people to switch. I guess that there are no real gamers on MS staff or want to push their new games.

 

In a year or so, it might be difficult to buy a new computer or device without W10, so for many will be a "Must" windows to have. As great W7 was (XP never was really great, just a good replacement for 95/98), it is too "legacy" to be able to support newest HW and SW without much rewriting of code that usually produces more problems than it solves.
