Windows 10 Free upgrade?

[Rhyso]

Installed it the other day onto my nearly 4 year old Toshiba laptop

Only issue I had was it knocked my screen resolution out but after downloading some updates and a reboot fixed that problem

Its pretty zippy but its just Windows; nothing amazing about it I guess 

Apps need work as I tried the Facebook app and half my news feed was missing.......so I uninstalled it

Messed up my sli config, Nvidea drivers and screen resolution.
Could not get both 780's working without flutter at high frame rates (which I know is an SLI problem) but was absolutely fine before the instal....
Also was using more ram at idle than 8.1/classic shell was using, but I am sure I can dial this out.
Going to have another go this weekend to get it all working as I want before I revert to 8.1 or even further back to 7prof.
At least its not like 8 when it came out....

i did upgrade on my laptop and now i'm stuck with windows which can't be activated. Going to call Microsoft and see what they say. At the moment, its calling my legit windows 8 key counterfeit

to use all the windows 10 features, I must activate windows.

got it all working in the end after about 4 hours
Now using opera and have all live feeds firmly removed or turned off where not.

For thoses of you running windows 10 you may or may not know about windows 10 privacy issues.

One of the biggest worries, though, is Microsoft's policy on disclosing or sharing your personal information. The following is an excerpt from the privacy policy:

Bit the bullet and went for it the other day, got to say I'm quite happy with it so far...

Only problem I had was the built in mail client trying to send emails from my old email address but a quick search on google found the solution, a registry entry change and restart and all was good

Using this monitor as a 2nd screen for the Xbox One has been a treat too

I realise I'm late to this conversation, but just felt like adding that I did the upgrade and I'm satisfied. I'm not blown away by it, because I don't see extreme changes, but it's functional and looks good. I'm sure there are features that I haven't discovered yet, but it wasn't a massive change like Windows 7 to Windows 8 was.
