I still remember my first time upgrading into Windows 10. Even though Windows 10 was quite better at some glance, I was having several issues like my laptop booting on its own, which is one of the reason I was reverting back to Windows 8.1. Since then, I was not sure if I should upgrade, since I was deciding to keep sticking to 8.1.
Then, I heard on one of the threads, I found out that I can dual boot and still getting the Windows activated at the same time (thanks, Blue Yveltal), so I tried to do it anyway. Reinstalling it was quite tough, since I have to deal with partition problems, and wanted to sort it out without reformatting data. After many tries, I figured out how to do it, and...
You're not seeing things, I decided to default on Windows 8.1.
I managed to dual-boot on my laptop this time, so I can still enjoy 8.1 goodness, while enjoying the future of 10 at the same time. Oh, and Windows 10 was already on version 1511, btw. Some of the pet peeves of Windows 10 seems gone, like no more white-color only title bar,and for some reason I can defer (a.k.a delay) upgrades, to my surprise. EDIT: I guess not, since it seems that Windows 10 installed more updates as time goes, which is weird because option to defer upgrades was available after I installed it.
However, it does still consumes more CPU than 8.1, though, but since I can dual-boot, I can switch to 8.1 whenever I want to, and by the way, so far, the progress is going pretty well.
