Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Installed the 10130 build over the weekend, and it seems much better already than the 10074 build. I might just sit on this build now until the general release of 10.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I am running a Family desktop PC with 5 local User accounts, currently this PC is running Win 8.1.
Does anyone know if I can upgrade to Win 10 and keep the user accounts intact or will I have to rebuild the accounts under Win 10?
It may seem a silly question but I haven't upgraded a PC with more than one user account on before.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 with 3 accounts, so you shouldn't have a problem.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
The Windows' upgrade process has always preserved all user accounts.

Thanks for your helpful replies. I'm going to wait a few months before I upgrade, so I won't get it in the neck from the other users if there are any niggling bugs at release! Will probably upgrade my laptop first to see how it goes though!

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Just a quick question. I'm using classic shell atm. Does this need uninstalling before installing windows 10?

I would uninstall just to be safe, you may need to uninstall a firewall too as I had to do that with Comodo otherwise after the upgrade I had no internet.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I think i read somewhere that the windows 10 installation now uninstalls any antivirus or firewall before installation and then installs the latest version of what u had when it finishes.
I could be wrong tho but im sure i read it somewhere.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
It doesn't install the latest version, it is the same as it has always been with other OS upgrades, if you dont want problems then clean install othwrwise think ahead and remove some software that will often cause an issue.

No it doesn't, but Classic Shell does reset itself for the new operating system afterwards.

The Windows 10 installer will tell you what you need to uninstall before installing Windows 10.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Still not clear on this one: has anyone who has upgraded noticed any significant degradation in any area re: performance? If so, what sort of h/w was this on? Thanks ..

I haven't noticed anything in normal windows as i don't play games on the PC, if you're worried about game performance then don't be as Direct X12 will blow direct x11 out of the water.
