Windows 10

[mk]

I've installed it to couple of low end machines.
Starting from AMD 3k+ single cpu machines with 1G RAM.

Surfing with newest Firefox is fine.
Performance graph is quite full even if left alone but true idle level is unknown.

Only real problem has been unknown network hardware.
And only hickup has been HP dv6 laptop boot but even it is solid and goes on after second try,
probably something with machines drop/park/slap/what HD protection thingy.

I think one advantage of Win10 is that you will get the latest version of DirectX12. But that's only relevant if you game on your PC.

Thanks Jacee!
Good point YW... I nearly forgot about that.

More digging and I've found a non booting Packard Bell with VIA chipset.
It's also solid, no boot is no boot.
Maybe I've just exhausted my installation(DVD-R) privileges.

Also found a CRT.
It made me use boot options(low graphics) and only vsync was odd 64Hz.

Do nothing idle with Pentium 4 was 3% and around 500M RAM.
Downloading OS something was less than a half CPU and 750M RAM, 8M ADSL was limiting for sure.

Used build is 10130 and no extras, if there even is any.
From Cookie's links I think machines, again, are not the true problem.

Seems that many many machines can handle W10.
My prediction is that pre W7 will be getting a discount in a near future.

Ditto.

"Multitask like a master with the ability to snap up to four things on the screen at once." Huh?

edit: oh, that must be for the tablet market. I wonder if my Venue has enough horsepowers to run it?

Well, MS thinks so...got my notification to reserve the upgrade on the Venue.

I don't think they discriminate.

If it can run 8 it should run 10 regardless. Not much separates them.

I've got Win 10 installed. Not been a happy process so far.

As soon as it gets to the desktop the laptop waits 1 minute, then reboots.

As annoying as someone saying "Legos"

I've seen two BSODs as well!

One had a big frowny face on it ):

OK, it's all up and running. All hunky-dory.

There's not much different to 8.1 so far, except the chime bar is gone, the metro screen is gone, the settings menus don't take up all of your screen, the flipping Start menu is back and is easy to use and holy flipping shit does it look great too?

Worth it so far.
