Technical people...free Windows 10 upgrade?

[felicity]

My computer keeps asking me if I want a free Windows 10 upgrade. Google tells me this is legit, but should I do it? 

Has anyone done it who can report on results?

[glitzy07]

Ooh, I had this pop up yesterday on my laptop. Keeping my eyes on this thread!

I did it. Had zero problems. I like it better than the last one.

My H did it. He had some issues with Skype/sound issues that he has been complaining about a lot, but I think it went well other than that. His dad upgraded and had no issues with Skype, so I think it's probably a unique problem.

I did it a few days ago. No problems.

Yep we've done it and it's nice. We upgraded DH's and my laptops and once we get used to 10 we'll upgrade each of our desktops too. 10 isn't hard to figure out and much,much better than 8!!

Windows 10 is great. Seriously.

[hermione]

We've had no issues.

[Muddled]

I did it. SO much better than 8.

I did it and no regrets. Love 10. Hated 8. Huge improvement.

[stretchad]

It's legit.

My PC is a POS that never worked well from day one with Windows 8 or 8.1; the most appalling problem was that it couldn't maintain an internet connection with our wireless router and periodically dropped the connection even when physically plugged into the network (other devices on the network worked fine; I spent hours troubleshooting and nothing fixed the problem). I figured I had nothing to lose with the upgrade to Win10, so I tried it. My wireless internet connection now works flawlessly but my trackpad scrolling is now broken (and reinstalling the driver didn't help). So I guess that was an overall improvement?

I did it and had trouble with it. It shut itself down at one point and couldn't restart. I kept getting error messages and eventually had to delete basically all of my apps and reset it.

So far I like it better than windows 8 (start button!), but I haven't used it much except to make sure my programs and files were all intact.
Dh has been using it awhile (upgraded from his much loved windows 7) and also seems happy with it.

I know one person who had sound issues as described above, but I would think the kinks are worked out by now. I'll probably update mine next week.

DH upgraded his computer and likes it. I am letting him test it out for a bit first before I upgrade my laptop. I have heard good reviews of it so far.

I have 7 on my computer which is part of why I'm scared. No major complaints and I don't want to mess with a good thing, but I don't want to miss out either!

[cjeanette]

I hate this pop up. It keeps coming up on my work computer but we can't upgrade until compliance approves it. I wish I could make it go away forever.

We upgraded and home and it doesn't seem better or worse than before?

DS and I both upgraded. Him from 7, me from 8; so far, so good.

DH is in the queue for a week now.

If he's in a hurry, I think Staples will upgrade him for free.

It's not that different from 7. If you can use 7 you can easily use 10 without much of a learning curve at all.
