That wasn't an option

Why not get 10? It has DX 12 support?

I have windows ten and I don't like the interface. I will upgrade to windows ten when the time comes. I would like to know which one of the the versions specified. If I wanted a bunch of people saying "Windows ten" I would of added windows ten as an option

"when the time comes" lol your time is running out

the free upgrade ends in a few months then you need to buy windows 10 from a store if you want it

 

so no, just install windows 10 now and activate it with a 7/8.1 key

 

and "i dont like the interface" is something you get used to

people didnt like the new forum, people got used to it, people shut up

thats how stuff works

things change and you need to get used to it

might as well get used to it now instead of later

yes you can clean install windows 10 and activate it with a 7/8/8.1 key

and you can get windows 7 and 8.1 cheaper than windows 10 so it makes sense to just clean install from a USB drive and then activate with the cheap key you got

yup its really easy and a lot faster than going through the upgrade process (which fails half the time)

i upgraded with NO problems not even driver problems

yeah, you need to take a look at the dozen topics per day here on LTT about something not working with windows 10 and its always because the person upgraded instead of clean installed
