See that bit in the start bar with all the live tiles? That's Win 10 Phone, except it doesn't currently work...

I haven't tried Windows 10 yet, looking forward to it... There's a lot of really good ideas in there.

Really how it does well, MS are doing good things and deserve some rewards.

Is there any information on how this is going to go down?

They will surely stagger the release right?

Yeah I'd say it'll be staggered. C'mon Microsoft, release it to Australians at midnight.

Actually I've just realised I've got a massive problem on my hands - disk space. Apparently it requires 20gb, that's nearly half my surface pro! :roll:

everybody who thinks Windows 8 is a perfectly fine, usable OS is about to find out how deep their Stockholm Syndrome goes.

From The Verge

http://www.theverge.com/2015/7/28/90550 ... dows-8-pcs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In less than 24 hours, Microsoft will start upgrading Windows 7 and Windows 8 machines to Windows 10. The software giant is preparing for this big release, at 12AM ET on July 29th (9PM PST on July 28th), by pre-loading the final version of Windows 10 on PCs eligible for the upgrade. A number of Windows 7 and Windows 8 users who have registered for the upgrade have started noticing that the full installer files for Windows 10 have been downloaded to C:\$windows.~BT as Microsoft gets ready for release.


What does that mean, 12:00 AM ET?

Honestly, The Verge is a great, sucking suckhole of bias and conflicting information. They're the only place that's reported a time zone dependency. It's possibly true, but the info isn't on the MS site...

Anyone know if we'll need to reinstall our programs? Particular concern is around things like Photoshop that I acquired...

Pretty sure it's just an upgrade so all your programs and settings will remain.

Once Windows 10 is installed you will then be given the option to format and perform a clean install.

I haven't installed anything over the last few days but I notice my hard drive is filling up. I assume Windows 10 is downloading and not some virus :shock: :lol:

All reviews I've read are extremely positive, the press loves it, consumers love it. Best windows yet!

Can't wait to do my upgrade when I get home tonight! :up:

Ugh, I don't have that folder probably because I have 1.5 GB free. Ugh. Time to shift shit onto a HDD. Where the fuck is my Surface Pro 4?!

How hefty is it to run? I'm running a compatible but very basic work PC which gets used for web browsing, excel, powerpoint and running music.. will Windows 10 be too memory hungry and possibly too beastly for this lower spec machine?

It's a hidden folder in case you didn't know, make sure you have them visible before going nuts.

There is also a way to force it to download in cmd... Seen it mentioned in the thread at whirlpool.

The folder is between 4 and 6gb it seems, nobody had been able to install yet, perhaps when the US east coast ticks over past midnight in 2 more hours?

Yeah I figured it was hidden but still no good. I definitely dont have the space. It's alright my skydrive is big enough, just going to back it up, get rid of it, try download.
