Official Windows 10 Thread: Installation and Issues (check first post)

[Hrishi]

I tried to download and run the technical preview download pre requistive ...the one app which checks for sys reqs. And it prompted that insufficient resources.

I have win 7 ultimate 64bit... I7 , 640m , 4gb ram.
And 60gb space left.

I have a petty geforce 210 but I installed windows 7 drivers (as i hated & never switched to 8), it seems to work fine

Not interested in upgrading. Happy with Windows 7.

Technical preview seems pretty stable to me.
But I haven't installed Steam so no gaming on it yet. But Win 10 automatically installed latest Intel drivers for me. My config is: Core i5 4570, 4 GB Ram and no dGPU.

First its Technical preview, not even Consumer Preview. So things are expected to crash. But can you share the specifics? I haven't faced any crash till now.
Just some bugs, as highlighted in the video.

^ many others said its pretty stable even though it is Tech Preview

Re: Windows 10 Technical Preview

It looks nice. Not too keen to try TP. Will wait for a more stable release.

^^ Only that first one is the Technical preview, and 2nd one is less buggy version for consumer, where bugs are just patched around so that Consumer won't notice them.

On a serious note are they two options while we install the OS? I didn't get to choose between them when I installed Win 10 from the setup, from within other Windows OS.

Its pretty sable on the outside actually. but having problems with reading external proc memory, hooks are not taking the passed functions. automated software failing..
try running photoshop, games, old games, few old plugins and check, many software alwaysl behave weirdly with new release of windows..!

 

[theterminator]

Im not able to do multitasking as shown in the Microsoft's video ...have you all played with it?

Found this statement on random website?Can anyone justify this?

"New Rumors Claim That Microsoft Skipped ‘Windows 9′ Name Because Of Legacy Code Compatibility Issues. Microsoft surprised everyone by announcing ‘Windows 10′ as their name for the upcoming version of Windows few days back. But why did Microsoft decide to skip the most obvious name ‘Windows 9’? According to latest reports, Microsoft decided to go with Windows 10 branding to avoid issues related to Windows 95/Windows 98 legacy code. Microsoft dev here, the internal rumours are that early testing revealed just how many third party products that had code of the form if(version.StartsWith(“Windows 9″)) { /* 95 and 98 */ } else { and that this was the pragmatic solution to avoid that. If Microsoft named it as Windows 9, all classic apps with the above code structure will treat it as either Windows 95 or Windows 98. So, Microsoft decided to avoid it by naming it Windows 10."

Windows 10 Impressions:

Checkbox on the all folder and icon is awesome addition in Windows 10.
New icons look great.
Modern apps flip animation while opening an app is missing, which i like a lot.
Charms Bar removed
Optional Start screen vs Start Menu available

more coming up

I'm not able to install it on Hyper V. Installation process goes smoothly but after that it doesn't boots. Once it got BSOD too
