Much like Win 10 is.

If you feel security is a problem, look up your records based simply on your name. You should be more afraid of that than windows 10.
I do hate the auto updates. That has been a headache.
Exactly. Hence my surprise. But consider this, how long does it take you to reinstall your system after such an upgrade? Easily 2 or 3 days before everything is back in working order. And now it just adapts by itself, incredible. No idea if it will work with AMD or INTEL <> AMD configurations, would be fun to try that out.adfielding wrote: That's actually really surprising, I've tried doing that with Win8 before and it did *not* appreciate it!

So long as you get a list of applications to install & drivers ready beforehand, it can be surprisingly quick. Not that I want to do it again any time soon, mind! This sounds like a MUCH nicer solution, for sure.Yes it will - it has an extensive driver library and checks during install if you leave it connected to your LAN too. A motherboard change will deactivate your Windows 10 licence though as the activation is tied to your mainboard bios. Scroll to the bottom of your 'System' info window, you'll see it's deactivated.Gorgon wrote:I installed my new motherboard and CPU, then I wondered "will this SSD with my old system on it boot on Windows 10 without any manual modification?".

Games in Windows 10 seem run a lot better performance wise due to DirectX 12. In Windows 7 I couldn't get Far Cry 4 to run at it's highest settings without being unplayable, but in Windows 10 I can and it's very playable.normen wrote:Funny thing: They lured me with the "threat" that the update wouldn't be free anymore so I "booked" it, thinking I could still decide for myself when the update would be installed. The updater took that as a cue to set a date to install the update by itself. When after a few update warnings I had set the updater to the last available date and it came up again I thought "no problem, just say 'no' when the updater asks for admin rights, that should stop it from doing anything". But NOPE, right in the middle of a gaming session with a friend the OS just shut down and proceeded to install the update. So I turned off the computer right when the warning "don't turn off your computer!" was on the screen. It booted up again just fine because it was just "preparing" the update. So when it was booted again I pressed the little task tray button and selected "check status of order" and canceled the order, then turned off the updater stuff completely. OR DID I?? Of course the offer to install came up again.
I mean what kind of admin rights system is this when an app can do anything it wants without me granting admin rights??
Given that I spent about a day to make the whole thing work for Reason with MIDI drivers, audio drivers, system settings and whatnot I am pretty sure the windows 10 update will cause issues or at least take me another day to re-configure everything. Thats what you get for thinking you could save a few bucks by not using another Mac for the Reason rig ^^ My main mixing computer is on Mac and I'll sure as heck get another one when I update the Reason rig again. If I translate the additional time I spent for configuring and this kind of shit to money I'm easily at the price for an iMac...
I'm only really playing Total War: Warhammer and World of Tanks on it, its got a 660 or suchthing Nvidia card, so by far not a beast. I since took the time and installed Win10 and actually Warhammer had some issues since then, not much change in WoT, don't think DX12 will do wonders with that graphics card anyway.ProfessaKaos wrote: Games in Windows 10 seem run a lot better performance wise due to DirectX 12.

Understandable, I only upgraded when I knew all my drivers had been updated for Windows 10. Since I upgraded though, my Waves Gold bundle and some additional Waves plugins don't work, so yeah I've had my fair share of headaches with Windows 10 also, it's been good with games though haha.normen wrote:I'm only really playing Total War: Warhammer and World of Tanks on it, its got a 660 or suchthing Nvidia card, so by far not a beast.

But yeah, had to reinstall the Behringer MIDI drivers and reconfigure a few things - as expected. Otherwise - it's Windows ^^

Oh the implications of that.

Yeah, I wouldn't count on a drastic change like that going smoothly very often, but I'm glad it worked for you. Maybe Win 10 abstracts the hardware layer better than previous versions.adfielding wrote:That's actually really surprising, I've tried doing that with Win8 before and it did *not* appreciate it!Gorgon wrote:I installed my new motherboard and CPU, then I wondered "will this SSD with my old system on it boot on Windows 10 without any manual modification?".

I was liking Microsoft. Now I hate them again. I hate that sychophantic circle jerk AKA LinkedIn. Which reminds me, I need to delete my account ...Dabbler wrote:Microsoft just surprised the world with its LinkedIn acquisition. Valued at $26.2 billion.
Futile is resistance.
