July 28, 201511 yr comment_697433 I think I'm going to. Usually I'm suspicious of new versions of Windows, since there have been a few missteps in the past, but the reviews I've read of 10 are very positive. I've never used 8, so I'll be going straight from 7 to 10. And the price is right as well! Report
July 28, 201511 yr comment_697438 I'm on 8.1 and will be upgrading. Strange times we live in, gas is going down during the summer and MS is giving away their newly released operating system. Report
July 28, 201511 yr comment_697449 I have 7 on one my MBA via Parallels, and 8 on a cheap Windows something or other that my son uses. I hated 8, so never upgraded it on the MBA. I wouldn't mind upgrading to 10 on the MBA, but would probably also have to upgrade Parallels along with it, so it'd have to be a worthwhile upgrade to make it worth the cost (time, learning new OS ... is it always free to those with 7, or for a limited time?).

July 28, 201511 yr comment_697464 I'll likely upgrade on one of my machines, a lesser used but powerful enough Core i5 3rd gen laptop..... Report
July 28, 201511 yr comment_697465 I bought a new laptop a couple of weeks ago. We are not impressed by Windows 8 (at least not favorably). So I'll be upgrading it to Windows 10 right away. Report
July 28, 201511 yr comment_697469 I've been running the preview for the last month and it is pretty solid. Report
July 29, 201511 yr comment_697577 You have 12 month to take up the free upgrade. I'll wait 6 months to let the beta bugs get ironed out before taking the plunge. Report
July 29, 201511 yr comment_697648 Did a bootcamp install on my rMBP tonight. I need to sort some things as right now things are very tiny due to a default Windows video driver and I have no right-click ability. But I need to know it for work so this will be the easiest way.

July 29, 201511 yr comment_697649 Just fully upgraded. Things seem to be working fine, but still in the first minutes. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697666 Steve, do you have a printer set up, and if so is it working OK? My printer is an older Laserjet 1320N, but I worry about my multi-function and drivers for that. Someone on H-F also said they're USB DAC stopped working.....my only other concern, as the laptop I'll be upgrading is one of my "music machines." Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697670 Did the H-F person update their drivers? A lot of PC and motherboard makers have updated drivers available to download. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697671 I don't have a printer, but my Pico DAC is working just fine. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697680 Just did a clean install to de-gunk my drives. Working great. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697704 I upgraded my MBP running Parallels VM. No major problems. It was upgrading a rarely used Win7 install. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697780 Did a bootcamp install on my rMBP tonight. I need to sort some things as right now things are very tiny due to a default Windows video driver and I have no right-click ability. But I need to know it for work so this will be the easiest way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Both problems stemmed from the fact that Apple has not updated the bootcamp driver package to support Windows 10 yet. So I ended up wiping Windows 10, installing Windows 8.1, which is supported by bootcamp, and then immediately upgrading to Windows 10. Now I have a better video driver and right-click is working. So a little extra time spent but a working system. And Win 10 seems to really like the MBP hardware as it's very quick and responsive. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697781 I'm a bit apprehensive to try it but I probably will start the process of upgrading on my various 7/8.1 desktop/laptops. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697788 Instructions for how to skip the "line" and upgrade right now. Report
July 30, 201511 yr comment_697789 my office will probably upgrade when windows 17 is out. maybe half a dozen end-of-life products from now. Report
