I started with build 9860, and all was working well, until I had a problem with my hard drive after upgrade to 9879. I do not think this problem was caused by the system, but by me messing with my double drive (Raid 0) trying to separate them. The discs were fixed and I re-installed from an ISO, beginning as you did with build 9841, but I carried on to build 9860 and I waited for the slow update to build 9879 which I installed yesterday. So far so good. Even the change to OneDrive I am beginning to grasp. I also liked Windows 8.1, although I think Windows 10 will be even better. I cannot talk in technical terms, just as a computer user. I find it all very interesting. Paul - did you install Windows 10 on your main box or just on a test box?

Just started the install on my 8.1 box. Will see how long this takes.

Did it come back with issues or did the install work? A reboot should be standard experience.

Action Center... Nice. Still, are you saying that new builds of the beta are rolling out via WSUS?

That was fast -- sounds a lot like how Microsoft rolled out Windows 8. Start with a beta, give it away for a year then bam... Same with office if I remember correctly.

@bBurgess‌ -- ehh... will see. Might be cool, might be another Powerpoint Canvas type app that dies.

I don't have 10 installed yet. Can you drag and drop stuff into the bin when it's on the Taskbar?

That's a good read. And hey SH, don't knock the CMD shell. People spend a lot of time in there these days. And.... articles about CMD have always been popular with our readers! http://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/customize-microsoft-command-prompt-window/ -S

Yeah, been reading about SWAY a bit. Signed up for a trial account which I'm still waiting for. From the looks of it, it's a very nice interactive Powerpoint / Web "thing". https://sway.com/northwest_aquarium Should be a lot of fun to play around as long as you can control permissions with it.

Wow, shocked you went with an upgrade. That's very unlike you Brian.... and off a DVD nonetheless! Seriously tho, thanks for the shots. Nice to see there might be an upgrade path!

@bBurgess‌ btw - nice write-up on gP

Microsoft's first look on youtube.

Just a basic comment.

Microsoft shocked everyone by announcing the next version of Windows will be......... Windows 10. It's just too good for Windows 9 I guess. More details: http://www.groovypost.com/news/windows-10-technical-preview-available/ Thoughts?
