how is this windows? does it have full features yet? can i update on my windows 8.1 or a clean install? i don't really want to do a clean install
Not ready for a "primary" OS. I am running five of my Home PCs as of today, with latest Windows 10 build available. I love it, but i wouldn't put it on my "Gaming" PC ... NOT YET.

You are free to try it any way you like, though.

Well for your use, you are going to enjoy it greatly. There is no specific problem which would hinder you from using it as a daily-use OS.

Windows build 10036 leaked and available for download, but i would recommend waiting for official build which will be released most probably be ready next week. :clap
Don't forget that Game-Breaking bug (start menu crashes). So i would recommend NOT to download/install it.

dude there are tons of other bugs my network sharing is also not working
Why do you expect things to be different on a Pre-Release OS?

About Network Sharing bug, i don't know what you are talking about. At this time, 4 of my home PCs are using Windows 10 perfectly fine, without any bugs whatsoever.

All you guys who are using Windows 10 atm are aware that all your info and data IS BEING SHARED WITH MICROSOFT, right? Even though I'm not sure if our privacy is guaranteed with the stable versions of Windows i.e. 8.1/7 - according to the NSA whistle-blower: Edward Snowden, it isn't -- but, with Windows 10, Microsoft has stated it quite clearly that nothing will be private for users who opt-in to use these beta builds of Windows as they need all the data they can gather to study and find out bugs in the OS in order to make the OS further stable for the final release.
This is the only factor that has stopped me from trying out Windows 10, atm. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Lol, not necessarily, but privacy is everyone's right, and giving up on it is kinda like accepting the fact that you're being submissive and are willing to be enslaved by anything/anyone out there, and hence, you don't care if anything/anyone's prying on you. Is Edward Snowden a terrorist? I believe NOT, but for the US AND NSA? Yes, he is.
My point is: privacy and terrorism are a far-cry from each other. Standing up for your basic right(s) such as privacy is the first step towards one's own liberation from the shackles of organisations that are trying damn hard to restrain you within a system that doesn't want to give you the air or space of such basic rights, for, in their books it's a luxury, and in their opinion - we all are nothing but slaves, who don't even deserve such a basic human right, and they believe they have all the power to do as they please with us - the general public. It's this notion one should stand against. At least I believe so.

[MENTION=126914]depthcharge[/MENTION]! Thats an entirely new discussion, but i assure you i share your views on this. For Windows 10, However, i don't really care because the Home PCs running Windows 10, don't really have anything special or private which should raise my level of concern. But if it were my PC ..... well you get the point :p

Microsoft is clearly telling you that the beta will work in this way. What issues do you have then? Have they lied? I seriously don't get the paranoia behind privacy rights for an average joe regarding a piece of software they use. What? Those pesky targeted adds will barge into your room when you're having sexy time and force you to buy the next Xbox?

LMAO! Dude, that day ain't far when a holographic ad projected from one of those Microsoft's HoloLens will pop right over your bed while you're having frickin' ST. LOL! And looking at how your mindset is it's just about "ads" for you. But for me and others like me it's more than just ads.
Yes, they have been clear about the Beta version but they haven't been clear about the stable releases, and the stable releases of the OS, too, invade privacy on levels you and I don't know, and they disclose nothing regarding the matter, yet, they continue to invade privacy of every person who uses their Software.
So, it's really a matter of concern for any person who has an independent thought process and a mind that isn't ready to compromise their privacy for "ads" or anything else for that matter. For average Joes such as you, it won't matter even if their stable releases functioned in that manner and a holographic ad popped right in front of you! haha!
Last but not the least, to you your opinion, and to me mine! :)

Windows 10, one weird requirement:
The only change between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 for system requirements on the desktop is the mandate of UEFI v2.3.1. Windows 8.1 was required to have UEFI v2.3.1 for Secure Boot, but this was an optional feature. In Windows 10 this is no longer optional.

Source: www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-10-system-requirements,28798.html
We can't use Win10 on old legacy BIOS then? Then how the hell people with no UEFI can upgrade from Win7.1 -.-'

[MENTION=40068]Aciel[/MENTION]! I believe this requirement is ONLY for SecureBoot. If you don't know what it means, then just read up a little. Its a stupid stunt by MS so that laptops won't be able to run Linux -- or however you want to interpret it.

This is a simpler article, which should answer your question: Windows 10 to make the Secure Boot alt-OS lock out a reality | Ars Technica

I hope this causes a tremendous backlash and force MS to rethink their strategy, provided this is the intended strategy (about which there are still many doubts).

On a side note, Tech Preview is working just fine on Legacy BIOS systems.
