Is upgrade to windows 10 worth the hassle?

[Korbec]

The free windows 10 upgrade ends in a few months. I have been waiting for them to get the bugs out before upgrading. My questions is for those that have upgraded:

Have you had any problems with War Thunder and windows 10?

Would you recommend windows 10 or stick with your old windows?

Thanks and good hunting!

Stick to whatever you had. Win10 is full of security holes. Some people have also reported it affecting their games in odd ways.

[AOD_Craigep17]

just don't its a pain and the security as said, im still struggling to fix a bug that won't install a update

[AOD_Mephysto]

I updated once and went back to Seven, start up would take up to 10 minutes......

Ay , ay it is

Agreed. Win 10 is buggy. It doesn't seem to have affected my game, of course it's hard to tell 'cause I still suck at it.
The graphics are cheesy, the default program settings keep changing, if you want to create other user accounts on the same computer
you have to have a email address and you must use a password, unlike before where my wife and I could switch back and forth without one. (we trust each other)
They have completely broken Windows Media Player. It won't play DVD's from the drive or Video_TS files on your computer. Mpeg2 files and all of the .avi files from my Fraps days play as audio only.
The Pro version does come with a separate DVD player, but it sucks.
I had to go with a third party media player. I settled on Leawo Blu-Ray. It plays everything, it's free and best of all doesn't have any adware like most of the free apps do.
I didn't upgrade from Win 7. I had a virus that fucked up the OS so I bought a new hard drive and did a clean install of Win 10/64. If I want to go back to 7, I will have to buy the disc because my old
one was 32 bit and I've gotten spoiled to using all 16 gigs of ram. Over all I'm not happy and will probably go back to 7 with 64 bits.
I believe the cut off date for the free upgrade is July 29. You can try it, but I don't think you'll like it. Cheers

I never upgrade anything everything works better that way

If your on 7 I'd say stick with 7.

If your on 8 I'd say upgrade as 10 as I think 8 is total garbage and 10 is a little bit better.

Upgraded from 7 to 10 and after the first month I've had almost zero issues. It's still Windows, but it's not the worst they've done.

Yeah, I upgraded to windows 10 and at the sametime I did as a new installation on a SSD, ummm yeah they are cheaper than they've ever been just do yourself a favor and get one for your primary os drive you'll thank me for it. Also after the initial hiccups i had being that i have older mobo and cpu hardware the generic drivers it tried to get to push to my hardware was kinda messy at first but still usable. They've patched almost all that out for me, so really I love windows 10 as it stands now. Don't fret you can upgrade just to get the windows 10 key copy said key then downgrade again ... i think if you have windows 8 or 8.1 i dunno if you can do a straight downgrade again from windows 7. Its ok, as someone who built his own machines and have sold computers off and on for years now windows 10 is fine its not so scary, just jump in water's fine.

The nicest thing I can say (so far) about Windows 10 is that restoring back to Windows 7 after I figured out I did not like 10 was a breeze!

[itachisuperhero]

my pc went crazy, because now I have the program from win8 and win 10 so is a mix of things and nothing works....keep going until you can!

I personally Upgraded to windows 10 from 7 haven't looked back i noted performance increase on quite a few games ranging from 7 to 15% increase in fps on higher graphics settings than i was playing.

If you do upgrade do a clean install though a couple of people i know had issues when keeping there data that caused windows 10 to become corrupted.

Also I had a SSD fail a couple months after my upgrade which wasn't related the hardware was faulty however to my pleasant surprise it recovered all of my save data and documents due too cloud syncing and this was all automatic as i use email based login also you dont need a serial key any more so when i logged in to the new install it wall all verified and good to go

Win10 seems great so long as you have a good internet connection as it uses it passively and a lot, where I am our internet is not good (max 640kilobits/sec dl, up max 30 kilobits/s (yeah I cant rememebr which way around Kb or KB is hence writing it out).

With its sync-ing, auto downloading updates and seemingly less control in the users hands I am staying away until they give that control back to the user.
