So my SSD needs a reformat because well..i've loaded it with junk and various things..games included are struggling to run and I always need to install something from the main drive to make something else work proper.

Has anyone dared run win10 on their gaming machines yet? How feasible is it? Or is it just a mess with nearly no games booting properly?

What about typical programs we run? Steam, corsair link, Corsairs k70 RGB driver ect.

Run it as a partition, not a full install.

Compatible with Windows 95

Not even, run it as a VM.

Do not use it for gaming, it is not optimised at all and you might get frequent BSODs.

Best anwer yet!

But seriously I would consider it an option when the RTM release of W10 becomes available somewhere at some point, or the released version (1.0), but nothing before, you will run into a lot of trouble becasue of unsopported material or just plain BSODs at random...

It's very much not advisable.

I tried it out this morning in VirtualBox. And it runs like ass

Damn, well this is disappointing to hear. :( might as well just not bother even running it as a partition since the drive is so jammed packed as is, that and I have never done it, or run a VM. Plus its all gonna be formatted anyways. Was looking forward to checking it out.

VM's usually run like ass... 8 was complete crap for me on a VM but as an actual install it was buttery smooth.

Windows 10 runs great on my rig, only problem is GPU driver support for me.

I'm running it fine it appears to be a revision of 8.1, with powershell features, couple extra buttons and broken snapping.
