I don't think it's true... @vinyldash303 has been using it as a daily driver.

 

And I dunno. That's up to you.

Naa using it since it launched. Its lifetime

 

Go to disk management and shorten your default partion. You will get unallocated space, right click it an click create new partition.

Don't use it as a daily driver. I think microsoft collects keystrokes bc its still in beta and stuff like that.

Sure and Yeah.

My dad told me It was dumb to use Windows 10. I have been using it and have encountered ZERO bugs and yes you can increase partition.

You can use it as a daily driver, but don't expect to be doing any GPU stress testing. Firestrike crashed my Nvidia drivers, so overclocking my 580 in Win10 was a bust.

AMD FTW? Lol the R9 290x for me works perfectly fine on fire strike :)

I know how to fix that!!! Dude you had the same problem as my Corsair Stealth Survivor!

To fix it basically follow these steps - (Note follow VERY carefully and read each step)

 

1) Type "DISKPART" from the Command Prompt (accessible by clicking on Start and then typing "cmd" into the open field); you will then see the following prompt: DISKPART>

2) Type "LIST DISK" to see what number your USB drive is listed as.

3) Type "SELECT DISK 2" (if your USB is disk 2; replace # with your disk #); Diskpart will confirm that "Disk 2 is now the select disk."

4) Type "SELECT PARTITION 1" (this command selects what should be the only partition on your USB drive, the small one that you want to delete to get back the larger, full partition size). Diskpart will confirm with "Partition 1 is now the selected partition."

5) Type "DELETE PARTITION". This will delete the old partition. There are no warning prompts if you have existing data - make sure you have copied everything off before doing this!

6) Type "CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY" to create a new, full-size partition. Diskpart will confirm with message of "Diskpart succeeded in creating the specified partition." You can type in "LIST PARTITION" to confirm the new, full-size.

7) Type "EXIT" to leave Diskpart. You can now format your USB drive by using the standard Windows formatting process.1) Type "DISKPART" from the Command Prompt (accessible by clicking on Start and then typing "cmd" into the open field); you will then see the following prompt: DISKPART>

How long is "a while"? Be specific. It should restart on its own.

I would give it at least 30 minutes. If it's still pending at that point, I would do a hard reset and see if it boots.

 

Worse case scenario, the install failed and you'll need to try again.
