Windows 10
-
The question for me is it’s stability? Will it be another WIN 95 and 98? Does anyone remember all the BSOD?
I’ve heard nothing but good about it over previous versions, and this coming from a few die-hard Apple fanboys I know. I will go to Win 10 on my tablet and work box, but for my two Viper Pits, I’m waiting until the proof is out there. I, too, don’t have the Win 7 Pro, and I don’t want every update being automagically installed, especially video drivers.

Can you provide a link? This was my concern as well.

Cougar doesnt have drivers for 7 or 8, so I dont think Ill be upgrading to 10 any time soon… it works on 7, dunno if I want to go through the hassle of trying to make it work on a newer OS.
Maybe it should be called a forward-grade instead of an upgrade.
-
When the price is right.

It’s free for me. And the notes state it will have DirectX12 which I assume Falcon will be affected somehow? It also states for multi-core processors like mine graphics would be clearly improved.

Not if the program still uses an older version of DirectX…… so to benefit from it, some heavy code work is needed on the graphic part.

Hey Blue, check these out. Not as hard as you might think…

i have to clean another computer (reinstall, nothing else worth). on that one i will make my first experiences.
depending on my feeling i will do a reinstall also on mine (6yrs since last install, i wont install os again on 64gb ssd) -
Definitely updating as soon as I get the update. Free update for me.
-
I am going to update to Win 10 on my laptop first to see how it goes.
-
All great on Windows 10 so far, no driver or hardware problems, BMS runs smoothly and so are all my connected devices

I’m going to wait and see what Gyro suggests before doing anything… :rolleyes:

Well, I think I can suggest waiting a little bit until they release a few fixes. It looks a little rushed out imho.
Upgrade went ok for the most part but (and your experience may vary) I’m noticing glitches all over ( Samsung Magician not working, PC woke up unable to throttle past 1.3 Ghz ( i7 3770 ), Intel Storage technology GUI using 40% of the CPU resources, and damn MS Edge setting itself as default browser all the time with Firefox complaining every time i start it ) .
Oh and be sure you “tweak” all those nifty “privacy settings” where you authorize Windows 10 to leak your privacy data all over (all this on Win 10 Pro on top of that, where one wouldn’t be asking a OS to improve his social experience

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/07/windows-10-shares-your-wi-fi-with-contacts/Yes , it has privacy related settings and gotchas buried everywhere (including Cortana listening in) this one is using CAT-5 so no WiFi to worry about

I have to jump in here and voice a few big concerns over the new OS.
First, I am in the process of upgrading my computer in the next few months. I am an AMD guy. AMD mobo and gfx combinations have worked very well with little to no issues. The fx 98 series 8 cores are super fast (5 ghz + is no problem for this cpu). And the new R9 Fury looks astounding. I am moving to a water cooled case system as well.
That being said, Windows 10 has many problems with AMD hardware. Also there is Firefox issues which I use exclusively. I like the customizations you can do with Firefox and I do not want to abandon it for Edge. Music streaming issues have also been found. Security issues are major! Everything from Wi Fi sharing and pop up adds that you can’t stop, to printer and 3rd party devices that will not work, or simply crashing your computer altogether. Lots of issues need to be sorted out before I upgrade my OS.
With that being said, 10 has done something truly awesome! DX 12 and true multi thread processing. In other words, you can use an AMD and Nvidia card together and have them multi task. Also, the multi thread processing utilizes data processing that is separate from gpu processing. This means that the cpu no longer handles gfx computations. Furthermore, the cpu overhead is greatly increased! Now, the more cores you have, the more overhead your CPUs have when processing game files. This spells out a big jump in performance for FBMS as we all know as Falcon is a very cpu intensive game.
Too many issues now for 10 imo, but if updates and changes are part of its evolution, then 10 would be the way to go in the future.
