I heard it was a upgrade for 7 and 8 if you had those versions installed. I
hope it doesn't install without asking because I want to keep my 7pro as is
for compatability with older software..
I have Windows 7. I've at to use Windows 8 at work before and several things about it really annoyed me. It seemed like almost every day I'd run into something else that hampers my productivity. I also really don't like the flat look that everything has.
Windows 10 is undoubtedly an improvement from Windows 8. But my big question is, would it be worth making the jump from 7 to 10? I'm not sure I'd want to take the chance. (besides it still has that flat look which I don't care for.)
My understanding is you about have to upgrade your Windows 8.1 to windows 10. I don't
think they will have anymore upgrades for windows 8.1 as it is. I think that's why win 10 is
a free upgrade. At least untill this time next year. It was kind of cool of them to offer it to
windows 7 users too..
It would be nice if they had a shut down option on the start menu. The way it is you have
to sign out then return to a sign in screen. Once there you go over to the lower right corner
to find the shutdown option for win 10. Seems rather complicated to turn it off. Perhaps they
want us to keep it running. :D

There should be a shut down option just above the "All Apps" option, second from the bottom. Another thing you can do is right click the start menu to open up another menu and go to the "Shutdown or Sign Out" option, which is second from the bottom as well. This is assuming your using the desktop mode, I'm not sure how the tablet mode works but I assume it's very similar if not the same.
As for my experience it seems to work quite well, but one issue that seems to be developing is a much slower start up time. It seems to take 5+ min for it to get to the point of me being able to even open a application. This was not the case as first, and since the new semester started I've had to install several things for group projects. I have adjusted the start up items but that doesn't seem to be where the problem lies, once I get some more free time I'll be digging deeper to find out what is causing this.

I am starting to have a slight probelm with microsoft's enforcing of applications.I find it annoying when you just want to install one Microsoft Office program but it installs all of them x.x
With the free win 10 you must get:
Calendar,
Mail & People,
Xbox,
Groove Music,
DVD Movie,
and other stuff you may or may not want
I also can get microsoft office 13 free from uni.
However...It comes with
Office (excel, access, presentation, word)
skype for business
onte note
and loads of other stuff that you can't remove.
THere seems to be this all or nothing theme which i don't quite enjoy
due to it i can't have microsoft on my laptop cause its too small :(
