Windows 10

[TattieBoJangle]

So windows 10 comes with some features that I think will make life a lot better for example it can now load 3d models by default no need to wait on 3d max to load it also plays the animations, it also allows you to create desktops here is a video showing a few small things

looks interesting m8

[SolarPortal]

i think its looking very modern now for an OS and seems pretty smooth or is that just your machine

@Tattie, Have you had the licensing issue with skyline again?

Coming from Windows 7, it looks like its going to be one hell of a boost lol

[TattieBoJangle]

No it hasn't came up again so it must have just been a glitch in the matrix

[StarFire]

you must have been distracted by the woman in the red dress
lol

[TattieBoJangle]

hahah and would her name be skyline, i cant believe you guys are still rocking windows 7 not that it was a bad OS hope the update goes smooth for you and you don't lose anything.

[StarFire]

Windows 7! ha ha whats wrong with steam punk! lol

[lordalmighty1]

well today is the day of the release, im sitting here doing last min backups of all the important stuff I need lol while I am waiting on the update to start downloading from Microsoft.. I have no idea when that will be though lol.. any1 got theirs downloaded yet, its apparently being done in batches no clue when uk will be started if they do it by country..?

[SolarPortal]

mine PC hasn't said anything yet about windows 10 apart from "ok, notify me when ready"

But we are also doing final builds for the skyline auto update release today

[lordalmighty1]

yeah, mine says the same thing, but only on 1 pc so far. the other is on the screen b4 that 1 so I guess as the 2nd pc I have was reserved a few days later than this 1. that the batches go on days of when ppl reserved maybe?. not really sure of course but I hope its done earlier than later today, I wants my computer backup and running fast lol..

[SolarPortal]

have you got a "$Windows.~BT" hidden folder on the root of your Windows Installed Drive( mine is currently c:\ )
This is the actual copy of windows 10 and we have got a folder size of 5.62gb which windows 10 is supposed to be less than 6 gigs according to sources online

We are just waiting for it to ask when to install it or are we meant to run the "setup.exe" manually. Well we will find out soon enough lol. I will be updating once the release is uploaded online.

[Shando]

Well, installed Windows 10, all looked good, but no WiFi on my laptop

so had to roll back to 8.1

Now Windows Update is trying to redownload and currently says it's "preparing for installation", so who knows what's going on??

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

[SolarPortal]

thats sound bad Shando i hope tomorrow goes better for you aswell.

Well, i have my computer upgraded to Windows 10. It seemed to take a while to upgrade and my windows key isn't being recognised yet, that might change tomorrow though hopefully. eek

@ Tattie, the trigger error you were experiencing with the spawn is also failing for me on windows 10. I think its safe to say that the OS is the problem.

i will respond to all the other forum posts tomorrow

[TattieBoJangle]

my windows key isn't being recognised yet

Mines took a few days also m8 just make sure you have verified the computer and all that palaver

@ Tattie, the trigger error you were experiencing with the spawn is also failing for me on windows 10. I think its safe to say that the OS is the problem.

Ahh was a strange one for sure but at least you can see it for yourselves now

[SolarPortal]

Well, left it til this morning, didnt know about the verify pc. It must have been a windows 8 thing. I did that from the accounts and then my windows key activated, so all good now.

I also had to get rid of those horrid white bars across the top of everything by creating a new theme lol

The new design feels somewhat retro. There are parts which are better and more modern, then other areas feels like its back in the 90's, early 2000's on an older version of windows lol just with higher resolution
Next few years they will bring out a new version and say we have gradients again to give a more modern look. It must have been stripped for it to run on mobiles. We shall see what the updates bring lol

[lordalmighty1]

got mine installed finally and everything on 2 pc's at about 4am lol... took some faffing about but I am win10 able now

[AuShadow]

just finished a clean install of 10 and all drivers i needed, going through installing a few key programs now, gotta say loving 10 so far, but tattie, 7 was far better then windows 8, I was using 7 until today

[TattieBoJangle]

tattie, 7 was far better then windows 8

For me windows 7 performance wise was rubbish but that been said I'm just one of they guys that must have all the new shiny toys and what not so I will tell my self it better because its new lol.

[AuShadow]

Lol yeah I know what you mean with new and shiny, just upgraded my phone to a HTC One m9 from a perfectly good nexus 5, but I just could not bring myself to use 8, was on the missus laptop and I despised it so stayed with 7 u til now

[epsilonion]

I just sent the m9 back to ee... 12 crashes in 24 hours it was unusable... The camera is a good sensor but the software for it is crap..

I am getting the Samsung galaxy s9. ..

[SolarPortal]

lol, i just purchased a samsung galaxy s3 as i havent had a phone in many years lol
But it means we have an android device in the studio now .....

[CreativeOcclusion]

I am still debating with myself on upgrading to windows 10...Still using windows 7...I might go for it this weekend...
