FFS - do you really believe this!
I would be surprised if even as high as 10% of users do usb audio recording. The reason majority do not wish to updgrade is simply the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" principle coupled with the fact many do not like change, or are frightened to change. |

One reason I hesitate is that Lenovo state that they do not support W10 for my two z370 laptops. No reason given - they're not very old and are well-specc'd - but I suspect issues with the switchable graphics card. The system has a i5 with Intel HD graphics and a nVidia card with a hard switch and software that engages the nVidia for specified uses. I believe the software switching system is called Optimus.
Has anyone upgraded a similar machine and with what success? |

Surface Book has a similar setup, but it comes with W10 already installed and it is MS own product. I guess the only way is to try and be prepared to go back (backup etc).

1. Does not work at all. 2. Works, maybe even perfectly, but if you encounter any issues the vendor is not guaranteed to supply any fixes. |

Samsung asks its users NOT to upgrade to Windows 10 http://www.dailystar.co.uk/tech/news...ade-Windows-10 HP and Dell shamefully said the same as their tech support staff were overloaded and were not prepared to help their own customers. Sony (before they sold Vaio brand) deliberately restricted '10 approved devices' to a handful so they restricted their legal support liabilities ie if a person lost data because they upgraded a non approved device, then Sony could legally claim it was nothing to do with them. So even if old devices are compatible, many companies will not state that - after all it is in their interests to sell NEW devices. So frankly, any articles like above (from the well know journalistically accurate Daly Star) are not worth the paper they are printed on. |

The Samsung issue: Quote:
After its article was published, The Register was contacted by Samsung with a statement in which a spokesperson apologised for the "incorrect information" provided to the customer: http://www.neowin.net/news/samsung-a...ing-windows-10
We apologise for any confusion caused by a recent incident where a customer service representative mistakenly provided incorrect information about Windows 10 upgrades for Samsung notebooks. We would like to remind our customers that they can visit the Samsung website where there is detailed information on the Windows 10 upgrade applicability for each Samsung notebook model run by Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. It's not clear if the support rep provided similar advice to other customers, or if this was an isolated incident. |

W10 will run on just about anything - couple of dustbin lids held together with string etc. It's by far their best and most robust OS to date.

So good that the USB audio recording level isn't as loud as it is on Windows 7.

It's just been on BBC World News about this - the Twittersphere is going mad about it too.
