Are you Upgrading to Windows 10?

[TheGangstarTY]

Hello! 

Since I'm still waiting for the notification to upgrade to Windows 10, I was wondering what other people are going to do and see what Operating Systems you're going for. If you like, you can post your reason as a reply to this Poll.

Thanks

Unless I can find some decent emulators out there that run Windows 95 and up, and works on Win10, then I'm likely not upgrading solely because I already downgraded from 8 to 7 because of compatibility with older programs.

I had the offer a few months ago, it's been in the corner of my screen, tempting me, since.

I like free stuff but I don't see the advantage in upgrading especially when I've got so many old games working and specialist farm software that I can't afford not to work on a new windows.

Also from what I've read they've removed features and added nothing new.

I'm going to buy a new Laptop which will probably have Windows 10 on it, but I will also keep my Windows 8.1 laptop rather than upgrade it. I also have a Windows XP computer for programs with compatibility issues.

I would still like a Windows 7 computer, since (in my opinion) it is the best Microsoft operating system right now for modern computers, but I'm not going to spend money now to downgrade my laptop to an operation system that Microsoft is already trying to make "outdated".

Silly me... I might upgrade to Windows 10 at some point in time (eventually Win7 is just gonna be as old as 98...), but if I do I will have to configure my PC so that I can choose whether I went to boot into Win7 or Win10 everytime I log on... I'm not getting rid of Win7 just yet.

You are allowed to try it and you have a month, after you've downloaded it, to revert back to your previous OS

That only nails in the point harder that you might want to have a dual-boot so you can keep your old OS and have the new one. To me, a month is definetely not enough time. Especially since I've got a somewhat busy schedule (with school and a job).

I guess, but it's better than nothing

I don't think this is accurate.  Do you have a legitimate link?

As much as I love XP, I think I should upgrade soon, but I think I'll go to 7, unless if I hear 10 is that much better and works with SWBF and other old games .

Considering I've so far had everything run smoothly on 8.1, excluding BF1 (Something with the ICW5 pack forced me to run it in Comp Mode.) If all else fails for all my apps, I can just run in Comp Mode for 8.1. Especially since some of my apps are a bit finicky (Still waiting for ElDewrito 2.0) But, that inner Software Dev geek inside is forcing me to update my computer.

EDIT: Also, I can run a Operating System on my Raspberry PI that won't make it crash when trying to go online now *Cough cough* RaspMC *Cough* But on the other hand, I'll lose my free Minecraft...

Very satisfied with the upgrade.

A LOT more satisfied with metro than I ever thought I would be. Even legacy apps removed the brownish hue for a whiter one that blends in with metro more closely. I have yet to do serious work or install obscure software but time will tell.

I've got a Windows 8 point-something-or-another and do not intend on upgrading.
I don't want to loose the 3gb of hard drive for some UI updates and other silliness.

I can always change my mind and get it for free later (or at least that's what I got from digging into the FAQ on the website).

You can see lots of questions and answers on this page. If you go to "Can I go back to my previous version of Windows if I don't like Windows 10?" and that will say it there

It will definitely work well with SWBF. My friend has it and he upgraded yesterday and was still able to join me on SWBF2

Ah, but the compatibility between the two Battlefronts is different. For instance, I installed BF2 with no errors at all (aside from Norton blocking my GameMaster shortcut) on Windows 8.1. When I went to install BF1, I had to force it down to compatibility mode XP just to get the game to work.

The games' compatibilities are quite different in the newer OS'es, so keep that in mind.
