| 1410532 | 2015-10-27 22:57:00 | Where is the best deal on windows10 or is it best to buy 8.1 & upgrade? | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1410533 | 2015-10-27 23:52:00 | The best deal is to upgrade an existing previous OS. if you have to buy, then may as well go for W10 straight away, its the same price as 8.1 The only real difference is if you got 8.1 and then upgraded, and decided you dont like W10 then you can always put 8.1 back. |

It is more mucking about installing windows then upgrading it though, for pure convenience I wouldn't bother buying 8.1 now myself. |

Some don't have any problems, others are pulling their hair out with all the problems. If using a existing key Via a clean install, I'd wait till it actually comes out to the general public as a upgrade, no doubt will be a higher build, should be more stable by then. |
