No SSD just 750 GB drive. I did order a SSD yesterday - should get it Friday before I get the laptop back likely next week....
Windows 10 Upgrade Released Today - Beta Testers Opinions, Please?
- Thread starter Cap Capello
- Start date
Good to know Tigger - thanks muchly. Because this is my primary gigging computer I think I am going to stick with crappy Win 8.1 (I really do hate it, even more than Apple
falls under the, "what were they thinking" category). I really like Win 10. I will image the HDD to the SSD and keep the HDD as a backup in case the SSD craters. Will get the HDD up to a gigging state before ghosting and swapping out. That way if my SSD craters, all I have to do is swap out drives and will be back up and running in no time....

Make sure you test the image before you move forward with it as solution because sometimes even something as simple as a drive signature will cause the OS to not load.
I am using Samsung and Toshiba SSD drives with all my windows 10 laptops and desktop systems. Haven't had a problem with them other than the Desktop system didn't play well with the samsung, so it has the Toshiba drive.
That system was built in 2008 with an i7-920 processor on an ASUS P6T deluxe motherboard. The BIOS and Samsung were conflicted, and I was never able to install any OS on it until I moved that same samsung drive to a Laptop, and replaced it in the desktop with the Toshiba SSD.
I do have one other problem. I use vMix on that desktop, and it has an NVidia GTX 660 GFX card in it. When Windows updates the video drivers to anything newer than 347 from January, and I add 5-6 inputs, It does the BSOD. If I revert to 347 drivers, It's good to go, but M$ thinks everyone must use the latest drivers for all the hardware, Broken, or not.
I wouldn't mind them forcing the update id the drivers actually worked with Direct X the way they were meant to, but forcing broken drivers is BS.

i'll wait for some bugs to get rectified first
cant list them all so staying with win 7 for now!

Staying with 7, 8 & 8.1 . Everything has been tweaked and working perfectly. If I were updating I would wait for all the drivers for my junk to be updated for 10.
I rolled my main desktop to 10 .. not a single issue I can see. Everything worked as it did. Will probably do my gig laptops after New Years. It does seem a slight bit snappier and, as mentioned, seems to be a nice mash of Win 7 and 8.
My Microsoft Surface Pro came with Windows 10 installed. I like it. It's better than Windows 8/8.1, so I'll probably upgrade my home desktop soon.
However, I'm paranoid, so I'll clone my system disk before I do the upgrade so if I don't like the result, I can just swap the clone of the current drive back in. I have all four of the drives in my PC in removable drive trays (three 1TB 3.5" drives, and one 1TB 2.5" drives).
