Default Win7 Upgrade Consideration?

was thinking very hard :
Anyone exploring the possibilities of moving from Win7 to Win10 upon release.
Anyone with experience with Win10 can share insights for Win7 users -
probably done before, but haven't seen much lately (mainly just Win8 to
Win10).


I'm designing\planning the Win7\Win10 in-place upgrade for my 200,000
seat installation. Pretty smooth process so far. Very few apps that
trip the block\rollback function, none of the ones I've seen are
commonly used on the consumer side.

I'm evaluating Win10 and believe it will be well received.

If you want the Win8 "tiles" you can get them, but if you prefer a
classic GUI similar to Win7, it's there by default.


Not in any usable form - you still need Classic Shell or similar.

Since Win7 is still supported I don't see any real reason to upgrade.


Now there we agree wholeheartedly. I don't have a phone or a spare
tablet to test it on - (and it could be quite good on a touch screen
device) but Windows 10 has no advantages over Windows 7 whatever on a
desktop or laptop, and quite a few disadvantages. Let's just hope the
final version has some big changes.


There are quite big internal changes that may or may not make any real
difference in practice.

For instance in Win10 you can now do a chkdsk /f type operation without
dismounting the drive!

Not on my installation. It still has to reboot to run it.
