Windows 10, up or down...

I have reserved my copy. Just wondering the consensus here as to it's viability. I know Microsoft says it's safe and I saw that on the net. So it must be true...

My wife is the technology director at my son's elementary school and knows of several of her peers around the state that loaded 10 on their laptops. One lasted several days before it crashed and the other made it a week before it got a blue screen of death. In my house hold we wait several years before up grading operating systems or until we get a new computer.

Thanks...I think 10 lasted less than a week. To many reasons /issues... It does say to do a custom install but I was not real comfortable so I just let 10 go on it's own... I will wait a bit...

University of California IT has directed all employees to not install 10 on any school devices yet. A few early adopters got stuck in the auto-update/reboot loop and lost a lot of time and some machines had to be reformatted with the result of at least one professor losing a lot of un-backed up data.

So, until UC says go, I'm going to hold off.

I'm good with it on two machines so far. This is the first time Onecloud and Office 365 has really worked well for me as a total cloud based effort. Clean easy interface. No trouble with the upgrade except it took for freakin ever. I also had to go back and clear some space off the hard drive of an older laptop that filled up with the upgrade (it keeps the old OS 100% archived in case you want to restore). That older laptop has never run better. Thumbs up from me.

My Sony Vaio crashes 4 or 5 times a day with Windows 10 and Sony says compatible drivers will be out in October.

Other than that its the same old Windows product, crash, reboot repeat.


I do have a surface tab and its been flawless so far.

Looking forward to testing Windows 10 for my users (less than 40) but won't be moving to it for at least a year. We just got everybody, but one (a Windows 2000 box, don't ask) moved to windows 7 and we've been stable.
