Hey Guys curious what are your experiences with Windows10?
So far I'm liking it, Microsoft Edge Is quite fast to be honest(tho I have reverted back to chrome simply for familiarity's sake)
Cortana is much less broken than I thought it would be and in general, the system seems to be performing fast, stable and quite on the ball.
Now as far as gaming goes, I'm having some issues with BF3's ZLO launcher as in that it is crashing a LOT! But seeing how its a third party Russian hack I won't hold it against Windows lol.
In BF4 on the other hand I have had interesting results. My overall FPS seems to be a bit lower 10-15 lower on AVG, but at the same time the performance seems to be more stable IE the difference between min and max frames is not as high as I was experiencing in 7 or 8.1, By Drawing up the resource graph for battlefield perfoverlay.drawgraph 1 I noticed that my CPU and GPU usage is a lot more balanced, where in the past BF4 would weigh more heavily on my CPU. It has gotten rid of some spikes in performance I was having tho the usage Is a bit higher overall.
I want to mention that I tested using DX11 for a few Hours as DX12 is obv not supported by games at the moment. It also seems to have improved my performance while running MANTLE API, as I used to get like 20 FPS with it and now I'm in the 40+ bracket.
I have just done a wipe and a clean re install of all my drivers for Win10 so Ill post updates to it as soon as I have feedback :D. What are your experiences so far, have you? and will you upgrade?

What happened to Windows 9?????
-
No i will not upgrade cause i heard that it have a Wifi issue even im good with the windows 8 :)
-
What happened to Windows 9?????
win 8.1
-
What happened to Windows 9?????
Windows 95 and Windows 98 have "9" in name so they skip Windows 9.
-
So, if we want to play ZLO BF3, we shouldn't install windows 10?
-
I am re-installing DOS 5.0 and might add Windows 3.1 (For Work groups) as a shell.
Here's a nice guide for the ones wanting to make the jump:

They realised only every second Version was succeesful, so they tried to fool us

about Win 10:
Information collected from Radeon Gigabyte:
owners of win 7: OEM Windows 10 does not install correctly and can block définivement the PC even before uploading Win8.
It would also seem that with a Win 7 DVD, it would happen the same problem
What do you think ?
-
i think windows 10 is not ready for using so i will stay with windows 7
-
I am using windows 10. so far its good. thing that i like is Stable perfomance. less cpu usage. I must say win 10 kernel is more enhanced that win 8.1. m not talking about win 10 features which are great. But core of it is good too.
-
I've got it, it has some minor bugs, for example, youtube videos sometimes lag for a bit, and things like that... When you turn on ur PC, it doesn't load so fast as on 8.1... But all in all, it's good, waiting for future updates and DX12 games :D..

I've found this great operating system called CPM....
-
CPM!!!!!!!!!! You made me cry. I wrote many dBase programs for it before I moved to a new overpowered 16 bits 8086 CPU.

Make sure you updated all your drivers with a clean install, also check for windows updates there have been a few, make sure everything is running propperly, after a driver wipe/ clean install (CPU/GPU) I didnt touch my chipset or BIOS, tho i will at some point the system just TOOK OFF!!! Utube has also updated their player, and based on some chatter from DICE on redit we might be getting DX12 in their current releases via patch, the performance increase some preliminary tests are showing is staggering :D all in all im thrilled with 10.
P.S. The guys who are gaming on win7(ur doing it wrong) get on atleast 8.1 the FPS increase will blow ur mind, 7 is quite poop for gaming
-
For the ones that do not know what CPM is here's some reading :

I didn't do I clean install I have a problem of having only one particion on my HDD, so I can't save all my files that I need, so I did an update over W8.1... I think I have all the drivers, I've checked for updates via windows update and it said my PC is up to date..
-
No do a Clean Driver Install wipe ur drivers with DDU than install the lastest one, If u are on a AMD based system get catalyst 15.7.1 its a 2nd Set of win10 drivers, Windows 10 wont auto update to it yet as they are beta drivers, great ones tho
-
Nah, I just have too much important stuff on my HDD so I can't do a clean install...
-
I upgraded and I like it no problems really just youtube videos lag a lot so for that ill just use Microsoft Edge for now
-
Nah, I just have too much important stuff on my HDD so I can't do a clean install...
AGAIN MATE, Im talking about a CLEAN DRIVER install, DELETE YOUR DRIVERS NOT THE CONTENT OF YOUR HDD.... Even w/o drivers your CPU/GPU will load as your MB has these integrated.... Also it's odd I don't get the lag on youtube... you guys sure you have the latest net.Framework(cause win 10 does not require the Framework)
-
Ok, so I've deleted the drivers and installed the newest 15.7.1, do I have to see a difference in FPS in BF3 or what?
-
Not really, the performance increase will manifest itself as improved stability due to the reduced CPU load, the performance Increase won't come until they start pumping out DX12 Titles.
BF3 Is a bit old and running trough an emulator on the ZLO stuff, which leaves a lot to be desired In terms of performance(if we are being honest), Depending on what card you have you might notice(I know I do) Increased sharpness in your img with the new drivers and small things like that.
DX12 will be just around the bend, Hardline I know will be getting a update, and if fan demand is high enough I can honestly see bf4 on that list as well, I take it most new games will be taking advantage of it because well yeah, DX12 is reporting INSANE increases in performance and stability for users in benchmarking software 3dmax etc...
Ur a ATI user I take it since you are running catalyst, so yeah, as long as you are on one of the GCN Cards, that's ATI's 7k Series and above you will be set for DX12
-
Damn it, I go a MSI Radeon 6770... But didn't they announced that every GPU that supports DX11 will support DX12?
-
Like mantle AMD will have it as a GCN Feature, you can get a GCN card for like 40 euros tho lol
These are all ofc rumors and first statements, just run DXDIAG it will tell you if u are running DX12(if ur GPU supports it) it will say its DX12 as Win10 auto instals that.
-
Ahh, bs this dx12... I'm on dx11.2 version... I'm so pissed right now...
