[QUOTE="kaigame, post: 1173307, member: 14894"] I'll add my 2 cents, on my recent Windows 10 experience 1) Tried to upgrade from 7N to 10N and the media experience pack would not install on 10N after the upgrade, there are 2 builds and it didn't make a difference, the newer build still did not resolve the issue. Only a clean install of 10, after upgrading to 10(to confirm activation) resolved the issue. 2) Not sure if just an OS issue or due to the hardware changes(i upgraded my dual core pentium to a 6 core AMD FX6350 + mobo/ram/gpu) Some older Crucial SSD's (M4 has this issue) have a bit of a compatibility issue with some operating systems, there is a BIOS update which resolves this: [URL]http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/support-ssd[/URL] Wasn't a problem on Windows 7 3) I found the HTPC works best with UAC off, this is probably expected right? 4) spybot antibeacon will turn off most of the chatting back to microsoft that everyone is so scared about. Other than that, working flawlessly. [/QUOTE]
