| 1385280 | 2014-09-30 20:48:00 | And since Win9 will be free, the rumour is that MS will pay us to install Win10 One of the key features of Win10 will be a cloud service that automatically deletes all your files . There will also be a cloud feature that is pre-hacked & pre-leaked, just to save time & effort . The start menu will be gone again, as will all support for keyboards. You will need a Windows Live a/c & a MS Store a/c just to login to Win10, this will require your Credit Card to be uploaded . In the fine print you will be giving MS access to everything on the PC, including all your contacts, photos, webcams (just like android apps) |

| 1385282 | 2014-09-30 21:09:00 | Apple already have that stuff up perfected. :D Yep, lets give apple some credit here. They deleted the middleman to speed up the process. Other lesser providers make you wait for hackers using security flaws to do that . Or a very well known cloud service that had security so bad a worker could just take a huge list of user login/passwords home on his USB stick (who then had that list stolen by hackers) . :thumbs: |

| 1385285 | 2014-10-01 20:17:00 | Just downloaded and installed the preview. Theres two options, a exe file which looks like its a an upgrade to a current install at around 4 MB, OR the ISO at 3.81GB for a fresh install. As MS have stated if you run the upgrade: After you install Windows Technical Preview, you won’t be able to use the recovery partition on your PC to go back to your previous version of Windows. So don't crying if its installed and the current OS is removed and cant be put back. Just checked out the start menu - Sorry but its going to be a PITA ( first thoughts) yes it pops up like W7 and before, theres two options of either the Apps or Standard. If anyone thought all the old settings would return exactly as they were - at the moment they aren't by default. First thing to do was remove all the tiles that I don't use, that doesn't leave much ;) 5945 The saving Grace is once you expand out the folders ( hunt in other words) you can pin items to the live tile section: Control Panel for example: 5946 If you want to use the start screen like W8 -8.1, the option is there as well. 5947 It boots directly to the desktop and the tiles (old style start Screen) are not there unless its selected as above. I did read that if the OS detects you have a touch Screen they are enabled, but no touch screen to try :) It does have multi Windows and desktops available, which will be good, but OS's like Linux have had that for a while AFAIK. Over all currently it did install fast, exactly the same as W8, didn't have to sign into MS, as I Used the Customise setup ( same as W8) More to follow no doubt. |

| 1385286 | 2014-10-01 21:09:00 | I'll be interested to see what's different from windows 8 other than the cosmetic changes to the start menu/screen. So far it doesn't seem that different. | dugimodo (138) | ||

Given that MS (and others) still dont think there was anything wrong with Win8, it will be minor changes to the interface/GUI, and a few new features. I doubt they will re-write the OS, so it should have been called 8.2 :rolleyes: |

| 1385288 | 2014-10-01 22:41:00 | Just got back from a job, so bit more time to "play" On the "How to" link from the feed back theres a video showing some of the Start Menu options. windows.microsoft.com One other way to add the option you want to the start menu I just located is to right click the Task Bar / Properties / Start Menu / Customise - a lot of the old settings are not activated. so you can make them active: Went nuts and ticked most ;) 5948 The Task View and multi desktops will be handy. Got 4 open here: 5949 So far apart from that There's a not a lot cosmetically / Functions that are different from W 8.1. For people who don't like the tiles, you can make them more or less disappear completely as long as you don't click on the "ALL APPS" from the start Menu :p Think it will be a very quick learning curve if you are using Windows 8.1 If the upgrade to 10 from 8.1 is free as its been suggested then fine. More testing and exploring to do -- Obviously. :nerd: In case anyone's interested the preview is good till April 2015 5950 |
