Upgrade to Windows 10?

Yeah, seems the Xbox app only allows you to share screenshots/clips from games purchased from the Microsoft Store (for your friends to view). Doesn't work w/ Steam/Origin/etc. games. This error popped up when I tried to share a screen from GTA V (Steam). Not surprising, but it would've been cool.

Didn't think about that, but yeah they tie the feed stuff back to games in their system.
 
Same thing, just a bing page in my browser. That should all pop up in her little window and not be a separate app (or force me to use Bing lol)

So I just need to know has anyone lost any files when they upgrades. I have a lot of tv shows and other media files that I do not want lost. Is it best to back the system up of does of give you a roll back option that restores the system?
 
Lol
They have software for you. It's called Windows XP.

Or Windows 7.

The point is that I don't want to have ads built into my OS. App suggestions are basically ads. I also don't want to change the way I deal with third party software, because I don't think Microsoft has anything to do with that, as they haven't for the last 30 years.
 
Warning for those who want to clean install:

DO NOT use the reset feature. It's broken, and you'll need to start from scratch anyway. Waste of time.
 
Not sounding too good. Guess I'll wait a bit until I upgrade. Currently playing Witcher 3 on PC so it's sad to hear that some people are experiencing stuttering. Whether that's because of Windows 10 or not remains to be seen, but I'll stay away for now.
 
Anyone here tried updating a Windows 7 running with ubuntu? Installation was successful but after that booting failed and it reverted back (fine).

Just do not start the app store then.... remove it from you start bar that's all. You are still free to install any software from any website you want to. No need to use the win store at all.
 
Maybe it varies by area, since mine she literally just opens a bing page with listing of movies. But how it is on yours is how I want mine.

Pretty sure he did his with speech...typing the first thing I see is movies and tv and if I hit the movies thing itgoes to bing..
 

That's pretty weird then, Cortana is best in the US, UK and China, and it's in Alpha everywhere else. But even in Canada I can get her to give him details about movies, weather and flights.

Try doing a few tests like ask her to tell you a joke or sing you a song. Then after that, ask her to look up the nearest movie theater.
 
It felt really good to jump in a party on Xbox Live and tell all the old friends how amazing it was not to be ripped off using the service for free! :D
 
Firmware upgrades to SSDs do not need to be installed again after a clean install, right? I remember installing a firmware update to my 840 Evo for the speed degradation over time issue.
 
Updated and so far the only thing not working is my webcam - but thats due to a failed driver update during the upgrade process

Not bad microsoft, not bad
 
Just upgraded from Windows 8.1.
1- I had the icon, did the reservation, but it wasnt showing me the option to install yet.
2- Downloaded their MediaCreation Tool and installed it in a pen drive.
3- Upgraded instead of clean installation.
4- Nvidia driver failed to install, but right away, before reboot, I downloaded it manually from Nvidia website and started the installation.
5- Everything seems to be working perfectly fine!

I have not tried any game yet (WoW and GW2 are downloading files). But the system itself seems way better then Windows 8.1 already! And I liked Windows 8, so I'm loving it!
 
Sorry if that this has been answered before, but what happenes, if I'm going to format my pc after the 1 year free period? Is Windows 10 tied to my Product key or do I have to purchase it?
 
Fuckin hell serviio is flying now, no more network error messages, large mkv files open up instantly and don't hang up anymore during rewind/fforward. Loving the update so far.
 
Still having high cpu usage problems. Tried turning off windows defender , p2p updates , running safe mode and restarting. Still have no solution.
 
okay so hold off on doing anything...looking like the load is keeping the store from activating store apps..do older win 32 apps run okay?

Has anyone else reported the same issues as me. I seem like the only one with this :'(

I don't think any apps that have came with Windows 10 work

During the update your windows 7/8 license also becomes a valid windows 10 license. So after the 1 year period you can just get a windows 10 iso and use your old windows 7/8 key. Thats why its important to make the update while its free.

Thats afaik so far...
 
Hi, I'm currently running the Win 10 upgrade from Win 7, it's at 9% on a black screen with the progress number inside a big circle.

My question is, why didn't I get asked what partition or HDD to use prior getting to the actual install?

Right now I assume Win 10 is being installed on my old 2TB C: HDD where Win 7 was, however I didn't want to have Win 10 on that HDD since it's old and slow, I was going to keep the drive for backups and storage, but I wanted Win 10 to be installed on my new and currently empty 500 GB SSD.

So, how can I get Win 10 on my SSD after this install finishes in about 2 hours
 
Anyone have any issues with their xbox 360 controller wireless adapter?

That's the one thing I'm most concerned about not working.
Especially considering I have one the non-official ones.

Thank you, that sounds great.

Doing it this method, can you clean install it instead of just upgrading? or doing this way just lets you upgrade?
 
I'm restoring back to Windows 8.1 right now.

Hell, I JUST received and installed my GTX 970 yesterday. Glorious PC Gaming last night. Then this Windows 10 upgrade which has been a giant lag fest so I'm bailing. I'll wait a few months and try again when there is some good information on fixes/workarounds for various problems.
 
Anyone else having trouble downloading apps from the Windows Store? Each time I get an error and a message saying 'try again' it says 'awaiting license' for a second then 'try again', again.
