User blog:Nour T/Migrating Windows 7 to Windows 10

It seems Windows 10 has released yesterday on my time. I see that I have found a ISO for the Enterprise, along with Windows 10 free serial key. (Well, since it hadn't made to the stores yet.), except the main internet is going to renew in 3 weeks (on my time also), so.... It may be pointless but I have some good advices to go with.

1. If you are upgrading to Windows 10, please don't do it like now without checking your manufactuer's drives, It may be unimportant, but it is better than not having access to the internet XD

2. See if your computer supports Windows 10, Old computers CAN upgrade to Windows 10, but you need to recheck, if you cannot upgrade, try changing to Lubuntu, one of the lightweight ubuntu flavors. (Linux FTW)

3. Try to follow the install carefully, whenever it is pain in the ass. You can check the hard drives before formatting, and renaming it is completely recommended to prevent confusion.

Well, these are things I wanted to talk about. However, Here's the benefit for upgrading to Windows 10:

1. DIRECTX 12!!!!1!!!: Of course, one of the main reasons is DirectX 12. But I think OpenGL is better, as I don't know if Steam can make Garry's mod supporting DirectX xD

2. Cortana: Yep, the siri-ripoff.... well, It is better than siri seriosuly, Desktop Interface with first time Siri-Ripoff (which is better than siri itself)

3. Start Menu: I have a good news for Windows 8 and 8.1 users, Start Menu is back! even if you are not in mood for start menu, there's tiles or metro s*it applications in it

4. Turning Metro UI applications in windowed mode: Yep, Windows 10 is now more desktop friendly. But don't worry tablets user, there's an option that can make the interface a more tablet-like.

5. Windows 8 applications supported also: I think this is self explanatory.

and 6. It will make you love Windows as much as when you loved Windows 7: When Start Menu is returned, It was special for Windows users who are familiar with atleast Windows 95, Start Menu is essential to Windows.

You are going to ask: But Nour! Do you like Windows better than Ubuntu?

My answer is: Well, I'm really curious about Windows 10, I think it has some linux-simillar characteristics that I LOVE to see it. so, I will update ya.

..... I really love Ubuntu on Windows 8 days, ANYWAYS

These are the benefits and advices that can help you go on your way to Windows 10. As i said, it may be pointless, but It can help you ALOT when upgrading to Windows 10.
