Happy2Play 9780 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Noticed all my computers had "Get Windows 10" icons in task manager to a reserve copy. Looks like Windows 10 will be about the same price as Windows 8. http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/microsoft-reveals-windows-10-release-date-july-29-n367666 http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/06/01/free-windows-10-late-and-expensive/ Edited June 1, 2015 by Happy2Play 1
Deathsquirrel 745 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Well the same price or free, depending on your current OS and how legit your current license is. Edited June 1, 2015 by Deathsquirrel
FrostByte 5392 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 I got the Get Windows 10 on my Win8 machines today, but nothing on my Win7 computers yet.
AdrianW 1058 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 My main HTPC is running Emby for WMC on Win 8.1. So, Emby Theatre has got until 29 July 2016 to get to the same level of usability so I can get my free copy of Win 10. 1
godbodian 57 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Hmmmm... I don't know what my config will have to do... no more WMC and XBOX extenders for me, I guess...

ScottIsAFool 517 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Don't forget, updating to Win10 *will* remove Windows media Centre. So if you rely on that, do *NOT* update to 10. 3

Heckler 147 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 All 3 Win 7 Pro machines have the get Win10 icon in the sys tray as of yesterday. Still no word on which version of Win 10 will be the 'free' upgrade... Not downgrading from the Pro version to a basic version just because it's free... Would rather stick with Win7 Pro until there is more news about MBT within Win10... Because there is 'NO MEDIA CENTRE' in Windows 10.

Koleckai Silvestri 1154 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Hmmmm... I don't know what my config will have to do... no more WMC and XBOX extenders for me, I guess... If you need them and your current setup works, why worry about upgrading? 1
godbodian 57 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I appreciate all the responses and yes, I'm fully aware I don't HAVE to upgrade but the implied point is I would like to upgrade. In addition, I was just wondering if anyone else had concerns or potential solutions. For the lost of WMC to the Emby catalog.
politby 88 Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 I am not getting the icon on any of my systems. Could that be because they are all members of a domain?
