    No I only have windows 8 on a tablet and I will wait until I can connect wifi but there is no hurry. If it is good for Microsoft it may not be good for me

    Word of warning. The new browser apparently does not transfer your "favorites" settings.

    I'm finding it slow! I was forced to agree to an agreement I wasn't sure of, about apps and sending Microsoft data, etc.
    Now, especially Facebook Scrabble takes 3X as long 'waiting for' this and that cache or app. The only one that's mine is AdBlockPlus.

    Any suggestions?

    As I said I'm not in a hurry I'll wait for the upgrade verson and I'm not letting Microsoft delete my software, but they can delete all that crap from windows 8 if they like

    Yes, and that is why I went back to Win 7 too. I was lost, did not know what to do to get things working also.

    PS I also noticed that my boot up time is much longer since I downloaded Win 10.

    Important to the precious few who use internet explorer for anything other then downloading firefox/opera/chrome/mosiac/lynx/safari/netscape. :-)

    I am waiting for my position in the queue to come up, likely do it on Monday when I can guarantee that I won't need anything that I have installed on it.

    I played around with the beta version for about the last 9 months or so. Waiting for mine to ugrade as I expect in the next few days.

    Plan on over an hour. I fell asleep. It was 'done' because my computer was off, but when I restarted, it decided to do some more stuff for 10 minutes.

    Havent gotten anything yet. Only the notice that I will get it. In an article I read it can take up to 2 weeks before the roll out is complete.

    So. Did it install ? You have reservations about having 10 ?

    I postponed it for bedtime. Not reservations so much as caution, remembering the fateful day not many months ago when I installed 8.1!

    I'm going to wait for the upgrades on each of my machines. But I plan on doing my Dell Venue 8 tab let first, Then my Samsung 2 in 1, and my desktop last.

    My Win7 Toshiba laptop is not happy. Considering making a recovery disk for when the patches come out and going back to Win7. The load was fairly easy but didn't include a video player, hid the indexes, and seems to run about as fast as a 3G phone.
