Windows 10 for Free??? by Chief_Hacks June 1, 2015 at 9:06 PM UTC

Recently when I started my computer, this popped up

Sorry for bad highlighting xD

But yeah and when you click on it, it explains that it is a limited time offer to get Windows 10 for free. Does anyone else also get that or I am special?

I got it too. Apparently it's horrible and you shouldn't upgrade to it (based off the reviews)

That's probably why it's free.

Splades June 1, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

Windows 7 ftw, fuck newer versions.

Loo June 1, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

Everyone that has Windows 7 or 8 gets a free upgrade to Windows 10

Okiba June 1, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

I just noticed... Ah oh well fuck windows 10 :P

Sevoo June 1, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

Windows 7 is gud windows 10 isnt in 9+10 cuz dos kids r stewpid. But seriously, windows 8 and above may have better personalization, but windows 7 isna oot more simple and easy. Took me an hour to find out how to install minecraft on it lol.

Okiba June 1, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

Windows 8 is horrible, windows 10 will be much better. Don't say it is horrible if you don't know it by yourself :S

Okiba June 1, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

is it true that the 980 for laptop is better than the 780 for pc? my friend sucks.

Anyone with Windows 8.1 is given a free upgrade to Windows 10.

No 9. Never 9. If there is a 9, 9 will die.

And windows 7

vladthegreat100 June 1, 2015 at 11:06 PM UTC

idk, I'm debating if I should do it. I'm waiting until it gets released and wait maybe half a year or so. Windows 10 is free for upgrade on windows 7 & 8.1 users for the first year prior to release (July 29th).
I do recommend waiting and getting the review of silly people who get it prior to coming out, as they have the full version (not test like people already have which is full of bugs).
I will only get it if the reviews are good in about 5-6-7 months. Maybe less if reviews are over 80 or 90% positive

Windows 7 will be always with you.

Loo June 2, 2015 at 12:06 AM UTC

I bet half of the people who say Windows 8.1 sucks is because they haven't tried it. I have no problem with it and I think I like it more than Windows 7.

Trust me, I've tried using Windows 8.1 on my dad's computer... and it sucked. I hope Windows 10 will be better, but for now Windows 7 FTW!

I used 8.1 for about a year and I hated it. I switched to Windows 7 when I built a new PC and I love it

Loo June 2, 2015 at 3:06 AM UTC

Trust me, I've tried using Windows 8.1 on my dad's computer... and it sucked. I hope Windows 10 will be better, but for now Windows 7 FTW!
I honestly don't know what people hate about it, I really like it, honestly don't know if I like 7 or 8.1 more, can you maybe tell me why you don't like it?

I don;t have this for some reason...and I'm 99% sure my windows is legit. I've used so many methods to check
here's my proof

Do you happen to have any of these versions (Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8/8.1 Enterprise, and Windows RT/RT 8.1.)? If you do, you aren't eligible, if you don't, just wait for the app to pop up, if it doesn't, just get Windows 10 from Microsoft when it releases. Just because you're not getting the app doesn't mean you won't be able to upgrade, unless of course, you have one of the editions I listed above.

I have windows 7 Ultimate :)

Yeah you should be good, I'm upgrading both my Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 8.1.

I have to agree with this, everyone hates on Windows 8 but I don't think its actually that bad.

The 980m Comes really close to out performing the 780, but the 780 Ti is far off..

Derumisis June 2, 2015 at 9:06 PM UTC

I did a review of Windows 10. It's worth getting.

Joltz_ June 2, 2015 at 9:06 PM UTC

steven5703 June 2, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

Now that I'm looking into this more, it really doesn't seem that bad. Only thing I don't really like is that the theme is a little too simple (non transparent task bar, icons). Now, I'm just basing that off the pictures I've seen, so if there is like a setting to change them I would like that.

I might get it :)

Loo June 2, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

I'm actually pretty excited for the new browser, Cortana and virtual desktops.

vladthegreat100 June 2, 2015 at 10:06 PM UTC

Oh, and to add onto this post, windows 10 is probably the last windows system they will be making. But instead of making a grand opening with new windows versions it will be getting updated more frequently to fix all bugs and make it the "perfect" windows out there :o 
So keep that in mind, might be a good idea to get windows 10.
But like I previously said, best to wait a few months for the review (After June 29th 2016 windows 10 will no longer be free)

zero9178 June 3, 2015 at 4:06 PM UTC

I got windows 10 running on 3 pcs, a laptop of my dad, then on a laptop for working and 800€ custom built pc by me used for gaming by a friend. From what I have noticed is that for working it is really good and the multitasking is incredible. It is also really fast. For gaming, the performance didn't change yet, but I think the new Direct X isn't implemented yet. Can't say anything about cortana as it isn't available in my country

This comes up for me, but I am not clicking that thing and ruining my PC.
