      Should I or shouldn’t I; THAT is the question…

          I will too. I want to care. I just don’t. Win7 runs things just fine. I just… I’ll do it later.

            I’m sticking with Win 7 as long as I can .Tried the tech preview read the review didn’t see anything I liked. As it is I have to dual boot with XP pro because some of my work related software flatout won’t work with anything newer.

            Cheers: Dave

              I’m with Frederf…things are humming along, so why change it until I have to. Even if Win7 isn’t supported in the future, I’m still flying. My only issue is being vulnerable when doing MP over the WWW. Otherwise, I can disconnect and run on the LAN.

                I’m on the fence now. MS just released a tool for disabling some automatic updates, which was my only real objection.

                  If I was stuck on Windows 8 for my gaming machine, then yeah, I’d switch (once I had guarantees that all my devices have Windows 10 compatible drivers, of course). I can’t see a compelling reason to switch from Windows 7 though, at least not in the near future.

                  Only dead fish go with the flow.

                    This would be huge…

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

                        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.

                              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.

                                        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.
