Metro menu is available in Tablet mode. It is basically a maximized version of the new start menu.

Just got the notification and installed Win 10 (previously Win 7). So far very pleased. Faster start-up and much smoother interface.

Upgraded over the weekend. Pretty painless install.
Edge browser is nice, but can't use it full-time until it gets Adblock

installed it on the weekend, and since then, my screen saver wont work/computer wont sleep or hibernate on its own as it is set in my powerplan (screen off after 5 minutes, sleep after 30 minutes). If I force it on with a hotkey, it'll only stay on for a half second before going off. I tried looking up the problem, and seems as if lots of others are having the same problem. Tried resetting the theme, changing everything around, etc etc, but no lucky. 
any suggestions on my end?
On the other hand, 10 seems nice so far

It seems like some older computers are having problems with Windows 10 sleep and hibernation modes. Some even report that the computer won't wake up from sleep and hibernation modes...
I don't use either feature, so I'm OK for now.

Not really feeling the new Nvidia drivers for Windows 10. I have intermittent lag issues now while playing games.

FYI for people who didnt know about this like me How to stop Windows 10 from using your PC's bandwidth to update strangers' systems | PCWorld
windows 10 by default uses your computer as a P2P server to download and upload new updates aka torrent style. might want to have this feature turned off specially for ppl who r limited on their data caps each month

Decided to upgrade my laptop the other night. Pretty easy install, which was nice. Only downsides I've noticed is that a couple drivers aren't working. My onboard speakers aren't working (sound only coming from the tiny speaker built into the MB), HDMI port stopped working, and the gesture controls on the trackpad stopped working after my last reboot... though they were working initially.
Edit: Actually managed to fix the trackpad - turns out Win10 defaulted everything to tablet style controls. Had to change 'em back.

No, it wont format your hard drive. It simply acts as another windows update; that is, it just loads Win 10 on top of your existing OS. Your files and programs will stay where they are.

Check the box for "previous windows installation". You cannot uninstall Windows 10 and go back to your old Windows version after doing this.
