i thought the idea with upgrading to windows 10 was wait awhile give a few months or so to get all the bug's iron'd out...i never bought Any windows on Day 1 of release...or do graphic card manufacturers really release windows 10 compatible Drivers now a days?...From a Gamer prospective i think it would be risky to upgrade and Run all ur Games if theres a risk of problems.

Drivers and software compatibility issues will be minimal.
However, I usually wait a few weeks after release of an operating system before installing. I never liked to be on the bleeding edge of software adoption. As always, do a complete image backup of your OS drive just in-case you need to do a restore.

I assume what is going to happen is that when Windows 10 is available for release, Microsoft will send you an e-mail to claim your free Windows 10. It is up to you to claim and install it yourself. After claiming and with OS key in-hand, I'm pretty sure you can take your time to install Windows 10.
There was a loop-hole to get a free Media Center upgrade when Windows 8 was released. I still have the upgrade key but have yet installed it.

The upgrade will be on july 29th I believe. You will be able to upgrade to W10 for up to 1 year after initial release.
Would you guys recommend updating with an "in-place" install or do a fresh install?
Im not super computer savy, so would a fresh install be the same as a reformat(starting from scratch)?
or does it just reinstall everything and keep all movies, pictures, and videos and such?

Generally people keep them in a separate partition/drive and complete format the OS drive before a fresh install, sobviously if you kept your files on that drive to be formated and get a fresh install then you'll lose those files.

Nope, Win 8 was already MUCH faster than 7, and 10 should be faster yet.
The more 'modern' your system is, the more improved the performance will be
People who downgraded to 7 from 8 are pretty much morons.
