Hi All,

Not sure if this has been talked about yet, i'm sure you will all say if it has :)

But now that windows 10 is spawning onto pc's as we speak, have people had issues with it and / or issues with it running eve? Does it run eve any better? Crash eve etc

Do give us you impressions and experiences with it and how it's working with eve :)

Cheers

Only an idiot or a glutton for punishment would install Windows 10 atm.

This.

Seeing as I have a whole year to decide and gather the info to make that decision, I'm in no rush.

For what it's worth this has been ours so far.

We have two test towers one Windows 7 one Windows 8.1 with test games installed. also my HP laptop used daily but if it goes wrong can be easily re-installed.

The laptop upgraded first, it took an hour and turned out fine, everything worked fine except it won't always shut down correctly (under investigation).
Eve works fine and seens to run a little faster than under Windows 8.1, Steam so far also seems OK with the games I've tested.

However both the towers have been a disaster, the Windows 7 flatly refused to update, likewise the Windows 8.1 machine. Downloading the Windows 10 iso and trying the upgrade with that simply destroyed the already downloaded files and again refused to upgrade the Windows 7 machine.

I have posponed the Windows 8.1 test machine untill I get some idea of what has gone wrong, in the mean time I am trying the upgrade as we speak on the Windows 7 machine using the 'media creation' tool from Microsoft.

Best advice, if it's not a test machine, wait for a few weeks until it all settles down.

I just made a clean install of Windows 10 PRO, worked like a charm and the only piece of hardware i had to install drivers for was the graphics card (GTX650), everything else works out of the box, including my 7.1 surround USB headset!

Im pleseantly surprised with the overall speed, user friendliness and performance of Windows 10, so far.
Due to my hamster pulled internet, i havent yet fired up EVE, but i will tomorrow (yes it takes all night to download that game lol)
I can come back here and let you know how it goes, but i doubt there will be any issues. Not major onces at least.

So far i havent encountered any issues and ive only had two pieces of software, which didnt want to install on Windows 10 (was actually the driver for my headset and wifi, which worked out of the box anyway), the rest worked just fine :)

Guess I am an idiot as I have been using it for months and no issues with today's final version. Fast as hell for me.

The two need not be mutually exclusive.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

At the moment, my very expensive laptop is in the possession of my brother, due to his PC having a motherboard meltdown and not being able to afford a new one for the moment. I intend to test Win10 on that when I get it back before installing it on my even more expensive, customised and specialised gaming PC. Even if it is free, that just makes me wonder why. You do, after all, get what you pay for.

I am using Windows 10, and it works really good.

Let people fight their own Don Quichot battles in their head against 'evil new software versions' and such, and just ignore them.

Works fine with Eve. Works well generally. I'm impressed in spite of myself.

Had the Technical Preview and now the Enterprise Edition (cause I run EVE shamelessly on my work laptop) - works like a charm on the official release, worked like a charm on the tech preview.

No problems encountered with WoT or LoL either.

Rest assured MS is not making any money from the personal licenses - it's the server and services sides that make their ISK.
Sharing it publicly like this is actually a very smart idea and will get their "one system, many devices" off the ground really fast.
Once the people figure out the full potential of cross-platform Apps - see ya later androidz and applez.

MS is gonna make a whole lotta Benjamins outta this (especially in the business sector), just you wait.
