As Brucie's mentioned it in another thread I thought I'd put a dedicated thread up.
anyone blinked yet and installed it?

No, I've not even had the upgrade icon in the system tray yet! But I've been doing some reading and based on the good reviews I think I'll go for it after I get back from holiday. The only thing I'm not sure about is 'upgrading' to it, with Windows I always prefer to start from a clean install. My Windows 7 install is on a dedicated SSD though, so I'm sure it's possible, just not sure how.

Still no upgrade icon in the sys tray for me....but I know there's a fix for that so I'll give it a go when we're back from France. In the meantime I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet, sun and vin rouge!

We are indeed Kev, having a great time, though we leave to go back home on Tuesday afternoon. How are things with you?

Things are going well. Arwen is already sleeping through, so it makes things much easier!
As such, I hope to get back to some racing soon.

My, "ready to download" icon appeared this evening, but too worried to press in case it cocks up my rFactor and I end up missing tomorrow night Hopefully chat to Simon and see if it's a good thing or not.

Well so far it's all been fine. Much more familiar interface compared to 8.1 which it replaced . Not had any problems and the family concensus is that it is an improvement in use with no issues although Mrs Scoops didn't notice we had changed!
Edge much improved over IE as well

I've decided to wait until nearer Christmas to install it. I've got quite a lot going on right now but the reviews are good and like you, virtually all user reports are problem free which is reassuraing.

Might have discovered a problem in that the fanatic game controller won't respond? Was fine with 8.1 so assume there is an issue with Win 10. I'll try reinstalling at some point and see if that clears the problem.

Latest Win 10 update looks to have caused a few problems. No apps will load so thanks to the wonders of the web I have to install a new user with admin privileges and use that instead. Got to find my rFactor activation key and put everything back where I wanted it GRRRR.

That's why I'm using Steam for rFactor2. No more keys and activations. Just your email and Steam password.
The race server keeps prompting for Win10. Thing is the key (cough) is probably not going to allow it to upgrade as it's really for testing. Also with MySQL database and all the other configuration it's a bit risky. I think we have enough life in Win7 to leave the server on it for now. If we ever need to go to Win10 on the server, I'll look at getting new hardware for it.
