Windows 10 - Technical Preview - Availible NOW - Download Link Here

GoodBytes

I tried to install it on VirtualBox but failed 

VT-X hardware acceleration not available 

looks like windows 8, 8.1 and 10 needs VT-X hardware accelerator which i don't have

It is your virtual machine that needs VT-X not Windows.

Check you BIOS/UEFI trhat you have VT-x/Virtualization enabled

Sadly MSI Afterburner crashes my start menu when starting to type. Otherwise, a stable and pretty snappy OS for me. Of course I have everything backed up.

Can you unpin the Search button next to the Start Menu? The different desktop feature looks interesting, but as Logan mentioned it'd be nice if you couldn't see active programs from desktop X when looking at desktop Y (see the Chrome tabs).

That's why LINUX exists :) You can do anything and everything same time :)

It's completely free and you are completely free in that system :)

ALL you must do is choose right distribution for yua :)

 

then you too can spend a week trying to get the thing to work with [insert hardware here] only to find that half the best games arent supported neither is the best software and that you will need to use the terminal to do the most basic of tasks because there is no gui for it.

 

as good as linux is for servers it sucks ass as a desktop

Currently, no.

But, post it as a feedback so that it is considered. If you have supporters or you see an entry on it, vote on it, to increase its consideration value to Microsoft.

Not sure if windows needs vt-x or not .But i ran Linux distros on VirtualBox before only windows asks for vt-x

 

But Both Processor and motherboard should support VT-X 

My processor does not support virtualization

and there is no settings on the BIOS to enable virtualization

You need VT-x if you want to run a 64-bit guest in any virtualization hypervisor. You can still download the 32 bit image if you don't have VT-x.

EDIT: If it fails to install the 32 bit image, you may need to force binary translation and disable hardware virtualization assistance in VirtualBox.

Try forcing binary translation in virtualbox. If that doesn't work then use VMware Player, its free. I installed the preview on VMware Workstation, and it went through without any issues.

Tried installing windows 10 on VMware Player and it works fine.

Thanks for the suggestion
