Beware the trojan horse. Finding REAL admin rights on windows 8.1 takes work. Windows 7 still let you in to make changes. Windows 10 will be like a smart phone, all apps with no user access to turn off the cameras and microphones.
If they are giving it away for free you know its dangerous.

What is Windows 10 Education? That would be the "Indoctrination" version.

What is Windows 10 Education? Windows has always been available to educational institutions at a discount. It's a somewhat different build from the normal consumer edition. I'm not sure exactly how the Win10 Edu build differs from the regular, might be on the Win10 site. Probably another FReeper can comment on that.

I’m waiting until the end of the year and getting a skylake laptop style.
Bye bye 2011 macbook pro.

Earlier someone posted how features enjoyed by Windows 7 won’t be supported by W10 such as the media player, watching movies on your PC via DVD’s.

Windows 10 Education is when you get it, the upgrade fails and your computer is bricked.
To: dayglored
I don’t have to plan for it. For the last month I’ve been getting notifications to reserve my copy of Win/10. I think I will wait a couple of months before I bite. Hope they don’t sell out so I kick myself in the butt for not reserving. Oh well, living dangerously.

Instead of a PC it will be M$C, yours no longer.

Hope they dont sell out so I kick myself in the butt for not reserving. Oh well, living dangerously. Nah, you'll be okay waiting. That's what I'm doing also, for the one of my Win7 machines that I plan to upgrade to Win10. The rest are staying with Win7 until 2020 when the Win7 security updates stop. By then there may be better options.
Anyway, Microsoft can't "sell out" -- it's just software, and they don't even have to make DVDs. Copies of software are pennies each to make, if that.
If you are willing to believe that they aren't lying about the "one year from date of release" for the free ugpgrade, then you should be able to wait 11 months plus a little nail-biting time.

They do say you’re not committed to the upgrade if you do reserve it.

Will it fix the problems with my machine that started when I was forced to update from 8 to 8.1?
And will I be able to use devices that my Win 8 machine rejects, particularly the MS LifeCam and an external hard drive?

This "reserve your copy" campaign is pure marketing bullshiite to try to force the issue by making folks worry.

Will it...? Good questions. I don't know any specifics yet, but no major version upgrade ever brings everything with it from the past. Beware.

If it’s not broke don’t fix it. I’ll just stay with what I got until my computer goes out.
