Windows 10, don’t ask!

windows_10_wallpaper_rainy_daySo today is the official release of Windows 10. Are you thinking about upgrading? Did it popup on the corner of your screen asking you if you wanted to? Let me give you some free advice, don’t do it! I work with computers every day, it is my job to test these things. Let a few of us who have to for our jobs test it out first before you find out it doesn’t work for you. Too many times a new Operating System, doesn’t matter Mac or PC, comes out and the first release has some bug or a few applications it won’t work with. Do you want to be the one who figures that out? Or do you want to wait a few weeks for all the bleeding edge geeks to figure it out for you? Find yourself a few tech sites you like and trust and wait for them to test it and report the issues back. I can tell you that the 1000 computers or so that I support will not be going to it until they release a Service pack 1 version. I will tell you that corporate IT departments are eager to change to Windows 10. We have to test every app the business uses before we can, and knowing how old many of the apps we use are there will be a few that will not work. So if you work in a large organization, don’t ask them when they are going to upgrade until this time next year!
