    I am going to test it on my other computer to see how it works over there first, then I will apply it to my main one.

    I'll be upgrading as soon as I get home. I hate 8.1 and the only reason I went out and BOUGHT it and reinstalled my PC with it recently was in anticipation of Windows 10. Let's just say prior to me buying Windows 8 I have always had 'borrowed' keys.

    Still on Win7 works just fine. I have no intention of updating to 10 soon and would really like it if i could ditch Microsoft all together and switch to Linux 100%, but there are many games I play that still don't support Linux so I'm trapped for now.

    I agree with this so much. I have dabbled with Linux in VM's for many years now, but still none of them have quite had the support needed in order for me to actually roll with them. Mint got pretty close, but at the end of the day WINE can only do so much, and with Windows 10 now being 'free' it's simply going to strengthen it's stronghold on the market, and developers are still going to be uninfluenced to open their application to the Linux users.

    Well, Windows 10 is going to have support the upcoming DirectX12 and Vulkan API's which will improve the overall gaming experience(at least DirectX 12, I cant speak for the Vulkan API) by Allowing lower-level hardware abstraction and optimizations(Such as the "Single thread" CPU bottleneck in which the API processes all the data[preparing to be sent to the GPU] on a Single Processor core/thread; Also other related things like the ease in enabling Game developer's to spread processes more efficiently among more than 1-2 cores, essentially eliminating the CPU Bottleneck to an extent; And increasing the amount of draw-calls the Processor can process by using things like Pipeline-state Objects that are essentially "pre-processed" object's; IE Objects(Objects are, in programming, essentially are instances of a Class that can contain a variety of variables & methods/functions(depends on language) that have been already completed/final upon being created.

    It's worth noting that just because it has DX12 support doesn't mean any games will utilize it for quite a while to come.

    Thats true, but when they do I'd want to reap the benefits. Also Windows 10 is sure to have a few additional benefits/nice features that 8.1 doesn't(I get 8.1 for free, so If thats not the case Ill just revert, unless i fall in love w/ Win10)
