Windows 10 Install

[zakblood]

fresh install of windows yesterday with a new build released, seems very good and enjoying the newer bits

Initially I had issues with Windows 10 (BSOD v2.0), but with the last update, I haven't had any issues at all. Oh and those BSOD v2.0 issues were typically due to driver updates for the graphics card on my machine.

My computer genius wants me to get it. Frankly my desktop is just an interface for my TV and a bajillion videos from my drive bay as well as Netflix.

My laptop is a typewriter.

I will probably not be using 10 until either of my machines dies from hardware failure.

like many tbh, fear and lack of understanding puts them off, imo it's no different from win xp, win 7 or 8, just added the best bits of them all and made it faster and more stable, and safe, but if your happy it does all that you want of it, it's your choice, but most won't get the option soon when only win 10 is out and a new pc is bought and it's the only options open to them, so for me i'd say get used to it now, or later as everyone on windows will be using it soon enough in one way or another.

Oh dear....fortunately a limit on operating systems has never been the case-

Point being for Matrix, please dont limit game designs to Win10. [:D]

i have done the upgrade now last month finally, and i think i wll stay with it. So far it is running all my games, old and new - even still can run Napoleon in Italy and For Liberty, which is great

The only one so far which i cannot get to work is Cossacks 2 Battle for Europe, though strangely Cossacks 2 Napoleonic Wars works

No upgrsde here. Doing fine with Vista 64. I haven't seen a game I wanted yet that "required" Win10 so until that day comes I'm stayin where I am just like I did Win7, Win8 and 8.1.

Much like all things that sell, new items are just that, made to sell. They put scare tactics into you like oh you won't get virus protect and blah blah. I went nearly 10 years with no virus protection at all from 1996 to 2006. Don't really know why I ever installed it in the first place. I think it was when I started banking online instead of writing checks.

I'll probably get (have to) Win 10 when I buy a new computer in two more years. This has been a good one though. Bought it in 2008 and it's still rollin along and only bought one new thing for it in a Video card that is still rollin along as well a PowerColor 5700hd 1gb. The longevity has amazed me. I don't think I ever had one to last so long and give me so much good service as the PowerColor Model I bought.

You can follow the Jones's if you want but I never have and never will. When I think of the money I've saved not following the crowd all the time since 1996 makes me very happy. [8D]

Did the upgrade. Everything seems to be working fine except for Rome Total War (first addition). That's because of the embedded disk copywrite security thingy (as you can tell I am not an IT wiz), which is now in SEGA's ball court now, to re-release it removing the security impediment.

[zakblood]

Rome Total War works fine on steam on win 10, it's on my list and has no issues, same as all total war games on windows 10, copy protection is another matter, just need a updated version or run it as admin with more permissions etc

Reading through steam reviews makes it sound like that game is quite buggy and many people have issues running it on recent systems.
