Today, i received a little icon on the lower right corner of my screen (Very similar to win8.1 logo) Asking me if i wanted to upgrade to Windows 10. The little window says, that all my programs apart from daemon tools, will work correctly. It also says my system can take it. (According to the little feature in the prompt window) Okay fine, that's good. But, the real question is, will i be able to play my games? Concerns: Surely the performance boost and stuff is excellent! (They told me there's a performance boost) But, personally, my main focus is playing games, that's what i do for fun when i have no money, my favorite pass time. My system is AMD based, i went over to there site, to find anything related to Windows10. Only thing i Found was this: http://www.amd.com/en-us/solutions/software-partners/microsoft/windows Personally my GPU will not receive the Direct X 12 bonus, because its a 6 year old card ( Which seems to support dx11 lol). But what matters is that my CPU works correctly. This page says it will work. But i am still not sure if i should do it, i mean. windows 8.1 wasn't that too my liking, people said it was not all that better from win7. As i see it, they promise waaay too much with windows10. Is it actually better than windows 8.1 or even win7?? One of my other main concerns is "System lock", Will i be able too install another OS if i wish too? I read an article about it: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2901262/microsoft-tightens-windows-10s-secure-boot-screws-where-does-that-leave-linux.html Currently all i know is Intel machines are able to "toggle" off or on the "Secure boot" option. Kinda scared about that. Windows 10 appears to be in its early stage, with surely a lot of bugs floating around, But it looks like it will increase performance (Or so they told me) Its free for win7(64Bit???)/8.1 users. And the UI kinda looks cool? With the search bar back and stuff. And my semi old system will be able to run it perfectly according to them. But i rather not have a "preview" version. Microsoft said they'd be pushing windows 10 early 2015 to win7/8 users, but, is it already that far? or are they still pushing the preview version? So, i am in doubt. Because of all these things mentioned above. Should i upgrade to win10? Will you upgrade from your old system once you get prompted to do so? And why/why not would you (not) upgrade? do you think it will "promote" gaming? (Old & new games).

I need an OS for my build. Thing is, I don't want to pay $100 for Windows 8.1 if Windows 7 may be cheaper. If you haven't heard, Windows 7 is losing mainstream support on January 13th. I was wondering if the price of Windows 7 will will go down after it loses mainstream support. Any help you can give is appreciated.

So pretty much what the title says, i'm here to help anyone who has 32-bit windows 7. PC's with 32-bit can't change the video settings for BF4, but I recently found out by myself how to unlock them without upgrading. This is very simple and virus free. Steps : 1. Install the newest version of NVIDIA GeForce Experience 2. When the install is done, load up your library ( it says Games on it ) 3. Pick Battlefield 4 4. Press '' Optimize '' 5. Done When it's done, it should be like this picture. This is too easy, but if it happens that you accidently blow up your PC, just leave a message about it down on the comment section Cheers
