| 1392845 | 2015-04-13 09:09:00 | Well Well Well --- Wait for the adverts From Microsoft on your W7 - W8.1 PC closer or when W10 releases. Microsoft is installing an update on Windows 7 and 8 machines which will push users to upgrade to Windows 10. And heres part of the file, its contents say it all ;) 6384 |

Admittedly, updates CAN be useful, but eclipses are more frequent than updates that do anything more than gradually slow your computer until you decide a new faster computer is needed, and M$ gets to sell another copy of windoze to whoever installs it. Perhaps update should be two words? ;) |

| 1392847 | 2015-04-13 21:14:00 | I still want to know if you can download an iso instead of the update and do a clean install for the same free price when it comes out? | gary67 (56) | ||

Bit of a hard question to answer as it hasn't happened yet. But going on past experiences its more than likely you will be able to. The "upgrade" for previous versions allowed you to do it. It could be like the latest version 10056 --Not officially released by MS as its a little unstable but its available, or you may be able to make a ISO from the downloaded ESD file. |

Yeah I know MS have been a little short on detail so far, I will probably wait a couple of weeks to see what others say when the update comes out. |

| 1392850 | 2015-04-13 23:25:00 | Even when you install a new copy of windows from within a running existing copy of windows it normally gives you the option to do a clean install. It may actually need to be launched that way by default to verify you are upgrading but up until now it's always been possible to find a work around to do it. A couple of weeks? has a release date been announced? Last time I was looking on the MS page it said the preview expired in september so I was not expecting windows 10 to release before then. windows.microsoft.com down the bottom. Myself I've abandoned the preview last week and installed windows 8.1 I don't mind it at all and decided to wait for the official release before trying 10 again. |

| 1392851 | 2015-04-24 00:40:00 | New build available - 10061. As usual it took ages to download/upgrade, but it seems all good now.Main visual difference is black background for the taskbar and start menu, but you can customise that a bit I think - haven't looked at that yet. You can also resize the start menu! Start is also supposed to have transparency, but it didn't look very transparent to me. There are some other new features documented, and some known issues. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1392852 | 2015-04-24 00:42:00 | OK, I lied - the start menu is transparent, but only just. Don't know if you can adjust that, or whether it is different with different colour schemes. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1392853 | 2015-04-24 01:03:00 | As usual it took ages to download/upgrade Doing a direct download microsoft-news.com getting the ESD file and going to convert it. Says 15 Minutes to download. Just something else to do today now ;) |

| 1392854 | 2015-04-24 05:24:00 | So far I wont be changing, NOT till they fix the damn networking problem they have caused :mad::mad::mad::ban W10 - can only see Windows 8 computers, wont see any servers even 2012R2, XP, Linux or Windows 7 PC's Cant even ping them, yet everything else can see everything just fine. Do MS seriously think businesses all over the world are going to be very impressed that no one can see existing PC's / networks, W10 cant even see networked Servers to join them. MICROSOFT fix this heap of crap !!!!!!! |
