    I'm waiting at least 48hrs before installing. If this is an epic Win 8 style clusterfuck, I'll pass no harm done.

    Don't wait the 2 weeks, just get a copy of VMWare Workstation(torrent it) or Oracle's VirtualBox(free) and use those to try W10. That's what I'll be doing before I do an upgrade. If it sucks, you simply just delete the VM off your system and no harm done.

    Thanks for the tip Antman.. I'm downloading VirtualBox right now from the Oracle website and will use it.

    Updated today. It broke my sound.

    Took about 40 minutes and 3 restarts.

    got the sound fixed

    I searched and there was a long thread on the microsoft messageboards about it.

    Had to mess around with the device settings and now it's working.


    It's a bug in Windows 10, it should configure sound correctly itself if the previous format isn't compatible, but it doesn't.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger was asked if he upgraded to Windows 10. His response:

    "I still love Vista, baby".

    So far I haven't been able to transition to Win 10 via windows update. Looks like I'll have to d/l to a thumbdrive and locate a working Product Key for Win 10 Pro.
