Upgrading to Windows 10

Leo_Dahlin · July 25, 2016

I'm on Windows 8.1 on my second PC and i'm wondering it's worth the upgrade to Windows 10 now when it's free (free upgrade for 4 more days).

I don't know what it will do to my files etc. For example i have GTA IV that works great after i changed some files and i don't know if it's gonna work on Windows 10.

I like Windows 10 but i'm not sure if it's worth risking some stuff.

The upgrade is definitely a good idea if you're on win 8.1 at the moment IMHO.

In my experience, the upgrade itself has worked about 95% of the time without any hitches, but as always, your mileage may vary. I have also used the roll back feature to go back to the previous os (win7 in my case) without any problems.

As far as your files and programs, they should all work just fine as long as you make sure to do an upgrade and not a clean install.

Yes you should switch to windows 10, but you should not upgrade.

Do a clean install the proper way or it's very likely that you will break half the stuff and have lots of software issues.

I did a clean install like 6 months ago on this PC and i don't have alot of programs on it. The only thing im worried about is GTA IV.
