So tomorrow is the big day - windows 10 rolls out!
Microsoft will release it at midnight ET - which is 5am BST.
However, don't expect to get it tomorrow - Microsoft are carefully managing the updates as obviously the demand will be huge - I, like others have 'reserved' my upgrade via the little app they popped onto my laptop.
Another interesting aspect of Windows 10 is that this is the way the updates are applied has changed. Updates will happen on a regular basis and for most users of windows 10 are mandatory, the idea being Microsoft want all users on all devices running the same software.
Having read some reviews I am quite excited by the update - I suppose time will tell if there are some hidden technical issue timebombs!

If I do decide to upgrade from Windows 7 on my laptop and desktop, I will probably do it 364 days from now. When has Microsoft ever released a major update without there being bugs and glitches? I don't particularly like the idea of giving Microsoft total control over when I install an update. How many times have there been problems in the past when simple updates have caused havoc?
Be an early upgrader at your peril. Me? I'm waiting....and waiting....and waiting.....

I think because of the cross platform implications a lot of work has gone into testing this beast - but you never know!

No, you never do know, and Microsoft's track record when it comes to updates is less than stellar. They've also never done an update as big as this one, so I think the prudent thing to do is wait and see how it goes. Let the people who have been testing it in beta take the brunt of the initial problems. I wouldn't go near any early update for any OS, but even moreso when it comes to this one.

Situation in this household is ....my husband will get the update tomorrow he already has the latest Win 8 on his computer. On the other hand I have Windows 7 on my laptop and will be staying with that for as long as possible. Let him iron out the bugs and fixes...

I've reserved it on two laptops but will only try it out on the one I use least. Looking forward to trying this out and I hope it's already had extensive testing.
