It looks like another leaked build is out. If that is the case and we end up getting an official release in the next week, would that be the last build prior to the RTM? If I was Microsoft, I would release an RC about 2 to 3 weeks prior to the RTM. Depending when the RTM would be finalized...

If i download Windows 10 Preview do it delete my Windows 8 OS ? And do it effect my files or OS ? Please reply ASAP

I have read most of this thread & really, tried to keep tabs on it as it continues to have additions. W/out bothering w/ whether an original Key is lost or replaced, whether an original Recovery partition is lost or replaced when a production OS is overwritten by a beta OS, I'm going to suggest...

Hi I saw this article, if it's true I'm all in to start beta testing it. http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/threshold-be-called-windows-9-ship-april-2015 I can't imagine that they wouldn't want to have a real beta testing, if they are going to make major changes and call it a new OS. I'm...

I have big problems with 8.1, software for DVD and Blu-ray discs will not work because my Blu-ray optical drive "disappears" from the operating system. When checking the listed devices at boot-up hopefully the drive is shown there. But when I launch a program (that used to work with XP and...

In another forum someone asked what people felt about Windows 8. This is what I had to say: Ok, well, to the OP I will offer my comments & promise to not be overly techy. Many folks who have spent a bit of time @ this forum, already, know my feelings but, that's ok... I have been using...

Hey all.. Now that I have your attention.. ;) I say again Windows 8 sucks.. That being said I will give it credit for being a great 'Alpha' build of a very interesting concept.. but in no way should be considered the next version of the Windows operating system.. ;) Let's just hope that...

The last time anyone saw a SimCity game released was years ago, as The Sims, a game developed by Will Wright, took over as the top dog for Electronic Arts and their game studio, Maxis. As an independent studio, Maxis developed many Sim games before The Sims, including Sim Farm, Sim Tower, Sim...

Well after avoiding the beta builds to avoid spoilers etc for the last 6 months, I finally got my hands on the game a few days after launch (I like to wait 2-3 days for them to fix server issues.... especially after that Diablo 3 fiasco :mad:) and after 4 days of play I'm finding this to live up...

I have a lot of empathy & understanding for my colleagues in the Forum. However, I realise as new folks keep coming to the forum, we must persevere. The point of a forum, as we see it, the aim, is to help people, guide, instruct, offer some insight & enlightenment & maybe, even fix...

POST = Power On Self Test, right? Apparently not any longer. The word is now being used to describe the future of computing, as in POST PC World. Which sounds to me like Microsoft intends to leave we desktop users and apparently some of if not most of its' long time valued partners to our own...

No Beta OS should ever be installed, except as, follows: 1. On a spare machine 2. Virtually 3. As a dual-boot. 4. Run from a USB stick Never as an Upgrade or replacement to an existing, current, non-beta OS. Never on a production machine. Nor, BTW, can one move from 1 Beta of an OS to the...
