NFT: Windows 10: Yay or Nay to Upgrade from Windows 8?

SGMen : 8/19/2016 3:10 pm

I want to upgrade today. I am ready to hit INSTALL while I can still get it for free. Some say "do it" and some say "do not upgrade" - any pro's and con's from users?

Personally ... I Thought the Free Upgrade Window is Closed

But if it is still open - do it.

I hated windows 8.1. Took a while to upgrade, but went perfect with no issues.

If you google, CNET still have a "backdoor" way to upgrade for free. I am running it now.....

I upgraded from Windows 7

a few months ago. Just one problem was a non-compatible VPN program, that the setup alerted me ahead of time. Other then that, got used to it pretty quickly. No issues here.

A Big Yay

The Windows 8 family is one of biggest steaming piles to come from Microsoft in a long time.

Windows 10 is big improvement (not perfect though) IMHO.

I guess I'd say...

...Yea, but then I'm literate.

Do it

Long spears, twice as long as a man.

Some men are longer than others

Windows 8 was one of the dumbest decisions

montanagiant : 8/19/2016 8:19 pm : link

By Microsoft in the last 15 years. Right up there with the initial announcement for the Xbox One that cost them billions of dollars

Switch to 10 asap

I switched from 7 and switched back

... but I would say that 10 is way better than 8 or 8.1. Both were horrible.
