I know a few people have not liked Windows 8 /8.1 but I have found its not slowed down over time like other Windows O/S so thats been a big plus for me

Thanks Brian

Looks like an 8..8.1 and 9 combo called 10...nothing new except it looks a lot like Linux in parts...but that can't be true as Microsoft would never steel ideas from other people would they.

I have been reviewing Win 10 tech preview since it came out and noticed features from Ubuntu and thought the same way. Not Microsoft ? Not barrow from Linux

I like Windows 8/8.1 .... What I don't like is the secure boot that can be buried a bit in the BIOS. Right before Windows 8 came out Microsoft announced that there would be no way to disable secure boot until an uproar from potential consumers changed that.

Quick question , I want to give this 10 Tech Preview a look, but in the downloads theres a choice of x64 and x86,  my pc specs say I run x64 but my program files say x86?  Not sure which I want

Are you currently running a 32bit system?

If so then it means your cpu is capable of handling 64bit, my laptop is the same (currently running Vista 32bit but the cpu is 64bit capable if I wanted to use a 64bit OS). You may have to up the RAM though.
