    I saw a bit of discussion in the OS topic about Windows 10.

    Who has it? Do you like it / prefer it over Win8/Win7?

    I am downloading it now. It looks very nice and I am sure I will enjoy it.
    Be careful upgrading, a lot of universities are warning against it right now because it doesn't work on sites like blackboard or other programs that some institutions use. Yours may be fine, but I would advise against upgrading while now if you need access to anything important like that.
    Why doesn't it work? I can't think what might be stopping it, besides security features built in (which almost always have options).

    The software isn't always updated to work with a new OS or a university's special wifi.

    Trust me, I know what I'm talking about.

    I'm sure you do, I was just interested in why it wouldn't work. :P

    I've still yet to turn on my Windows laptop since the start of this post, but I think I'm going to hold off for now. The computers at my work are all still on Win7 and, since I work a lot between the network at work and my own, I figure I'm better sticking to consistency for the time being.

    I updated mine.

    I originally had no intention, but it was free. Who can argue with that?

    I have to say it is quite nice. My computer even loads faster now which is awesome.

    I take it you were running 7 before then? Because speed has generally gone down from 8.

    How's the compatibility between 7 and 10?

    I don't have it yet. It's just a matter of installing it, lol. I've been hesitant, for whatever reason.

    I updated my mom's laptop with Windows 7 to Windows 10 and everything is fine! The good thing is, everyone had months to prepare their programs to be compatible with 10 since there was a technical preview program going on after Windows 10 was announced.

    I'll be downloading the upgrade once I can get a flash drive that has enough space for a back up. (I'm sure switching over to Windows 10 will be a breeze but I don't want to lose everything on my computer. Better safe than sorry right?) For those who do have Windows 10, do you like it better than 7? It looks pretty sleek and easy to navigate.

    I don't tend to use that computer a ton, but it does seem to load better. It used to load real slow before. And for the most part stuff is pretty cool.
