Alright, so is anybody else who upgraded from 8.1 (instead of clean install) having the problem where everything is slow to boot from a restart?

I've never been a fan of privacy invasion, so with Microsoft's new do-whatever-we-please "Privacy Policy" I'll happily treat Windows X like the security hole that it is. No thank you.

Expect it to be updated sooner or later for clarification. After all... it's the same old, same old anyway. At least when compared to what you'd get in Windows 8.1 anyway. I wouldn't be paranoid if you ask me. (and you can turn them off if you don't mind losing features.)

I turned off all the MS spying tools and it seems that disables Cortana as well because I haven't met her yet... :P

Overall I like it, for some basic tinkering the interface is better than 8.1. I've already spent some time customizing my Start Menu with some new tiles. It also looks pretty.

Oh hey, I finally got the upgrade available on my computer...

I think I know what I'll be doing tomorrow. :B
(Would be today, but I kinda need my computer to still be up and running in a bit, and I'm not going to risk it being caught mid-update. Perhaps I'll start it later tonight.)

I have already upgraded and it feels and looks much better than Windows 8. The only problem I've faced is that the Store isn't working, but that could be some region issues. I'm trying to find out why I can't download apps.

So not counting the hours I slept (since I started this update a bit before I went to bed) ....this update actually took way less time than I thought it would. I was expecting some problems because of all the stuff I've seen and heard happening, but this was actually pretty smooth...no hiccups thus far.

Hopefully nothing ends up breaking and making me eat my words, since I'm absolutely loving what I'm seeing so far, and it's running beautifully.

I think you should be mostly set if you do the update the patient way - no queue-jumping.

If anyone is worried about privacy issues in Windows 10 for whatever reason, here's an article to alleviate these concerns.

I'm surprised that it's even a problem in the first place.
I like how that article casually refers to people as "privacy fanatics." That's surely an objective perspective right there

It's a larger reflection of society when people prioritize video games over their livelihoods IMHO. But hey, if they want to give themselves away because they believe it won't matter, then who am I to stop them? I'll save myself and be thankful that when that information gets into the wrong hands (because sooner or later, it will happen), they won't have every little fact about me :P

I do everything I need to on Linux, and anything that requires a genuine NT kernel can run in an isolated VM. Problem solved

To what media? USB?

Also, seeing that UI... I kind of prefer 8.1's if I had to choose. Unles that's scaled or isn't an accurate show of what it looks like...

Either USB or to ISO, it's yielding the same results.

Well, I finally managed to get Windows 10 downloaded and made into an ISO image. Now to burn to a disk (as a backup) so that I can go forward with a clean install!

What's the purpose of this next update? It doesn't fix all the flaws I found while joyriding.

Not a huge fan of the newer versions of Windows, so I'm keeping my Windows 7. I don't even have Windows 10 though and I'm getting a stupid amount of updates. @[email protected] I feel like I've had a new one every day the past week or so. n_n

This is why I urge everybody to make system images before upgrading—you can revert and keep your data if you make them and decide to downgrade!

The only data are personal files. Program they will dissappear as soon downgrading in progress.

Windows 10 was installed successfully on my desktop a couple days ago. My parents love it. It's simpler for them to use and it's quicker!

My uni is still using Windows 7 on some computers, and to be quite honest it really feels weird. I feel like I'm using XP again, a 2010 version of XP.
