zakblood -> RE: Microsoft's latest Windows 10 upgrade sneaky trick (5/26/2016 1:26:22 PM)

windows 10 in fact has a better memory management use than any previous version, it will use what you give it, i run it on 2gb pc, a 4gb pc's 8gb and 16gb for my main test pc, and a 32gb pc for my main gaming rig... so if it works on xp and up, it will almost certainly run win 10.
Here's what Microsoft says you need to run Windows 10:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster.
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)
Free hard disk space: 16 GB.
Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver.
A Microsoft account and Internet access.
so while it boots faster, i use SSD's mostly, but have got some raptor drives as well standard 10k and a 15k version still in use, when these go i won't have any more HDD's and all will be SSD.
reasons for me to use it, is ease of use, loading time from a fresh image is 12 to 20 mins from a network image off a SDD onto another SDD, images have updates pre installed and some software as well, so not standard release version, just slip streamed them myself and have one for each pc on network stored.
to re image a drive can take with error checking twice as long, but well worth the effort imo.
for those of us who wish to use the latest version of DRX 12.1, win 10 is our only option as well[;)]

if it isn't broke don't fix it and that's great advice as well, i'd never say upgrade for the sake of it, it's not like a car that you need just to show off to next door, it has to be functional and do everything you need, so agree with thread starter, bad move from M/S forcing others to use it, and there's already enough bad misinformation to put plenty off, without M/S giving other more ammo to fire[:-]
(edited) spelling and typos a plenty[:D]
