The e-mail said "your notification to upgrade could come as soon as a few days or in a few weeks."

You can force it to upgrade using the media creation tool, but it's complicated.

Too complicated for me. I'll just have to wait, I guess.

I haven't received it either, despite my reservation.

I'm hoping I get it soon~

So is there anyone here who doesn't care that much, as they have no interest in Windows?

Probably some, but they're not posting in a Windows thread, since they don't care about it

I had reserved it, but the item for that suddenly disappeared. I've also had an error message for my updater appear, though I've sorted that out. Anyway, since I intend to wait and give some time to make sure there are no problems, I'm not worried.

Call it fearmongering, but you're the one who's installing software which goes through your files and logs your keystrokes. I suppose it's rather hypocritical since I'm still running Windows 7...

Actually, I'm just calling them as I see them.

I have to say though, it is telling you sent us to a video of a program used to check on pedophiles' underground dealings.

It's more telling that he is paranoid of said program.

Indeed. In my experience, anybody who is afraid of measures to stop child molesters is usually themselves an unrepentant kiddie diddler. Zeonic States, of course, being prime example.

That makes sense, though I assumed there would be some discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of Windows 10 compared to some other systems here, and whether they are enough to make you switch to it or away from it.

No, there technically was not a Windows 7 or 8 or 8.1 either.... both of those versions were actually 6.x (along with Vista). In fact before MS made a version change, 10 was version 6.4, but the set it's version to match its name. 8.1 as 6.3, 8 was 6.2, 7 was 6.1 and Vista was 6.0.

Ohh I see.

PhotoDNA is only for fighting child abuse images, but keylogging did exist in the technical preview only – technical previews were not supposed to be used in production or for anything sensitive.

Drat! Just updated 10 and it actually went through relatively hitch free, but I'm a bit miffed movie maker is no longer supported. The only thing microsoft bothered to release was "Movie maker is not available in windows 10. Check the windows store for a video creation app."

Ezvid here I come, I guess.

There's probably (or will be) a way to run Windows Movie Maker 2.6 in Windows 10 using an emulator of some sorts. I was never a fan of WMM anyway (or the Live version, at least).

You just have to reinstall WMM 2.6 in Windows 10.

I have it myself and it's working like it's supposed to.

Can't get it. Got Windows 8 Pro... Didn't find out that business computers don't get the upgrade until it was too late.

This was a gift from my grandpa, MacroHard assholes!

It's an automated program that stops you from violating Microsoft's EULA by uploading illegal content onto its servers.

Is that such a bad thing?

I thought it was a built in program for Windows 10, not for online servers. My bad.

I still have reasons to be afraid, considering Microsoft is still closed source, and I wouldn't doubt any back doors. I'm still a hypocrite for using Windows though, since I really, really, can't turn down my games.

Damn. I am hearing a bit of criticism about how much it sucks and how there seems to be kernel bugs on there from my fellow regionmates. I'll wait for a while.

Yeah, one or two of my tech-savvy friends who are testing it out aren't precisely thrilled by it so far.

Not downloading it until atleast service patch 2. Too many bad memories from bugs

Apparently the notification center doesn't always work.

When you try to open the notification/action center it doesn't always open up to the right side of your screen.

That's a bug because I used to have it working before. Maybe restarting the thing would work.

One of them seems to be using it as a gaming computer.

I know. Hearing about it on the IRC of my region.

Ah. I see.

I'm not into gaming so I don't know the issues gamers have in their computers so far.
