I keep hearing the next build will be 45.5% crippled forcing everyone to go old skool dos commando on it
So, what does it mean for the compability with the drivers and apps ? Does the current Win7/8/8.1 drivers will work with Win10 ?
According to information online, some might work in compatibility mode. Not until you test them to find out you cannot absolutely know the ones that work. In few cases you will experience BSOD while testing them.
it means you're totally screwed if you have a nvidia GPU since they won't release drivers for anything. But they MIGHT work if you modify the INF to see NT 10.0 and put the system in test signing mode.
I am also watching this kernel change closely. In terms of AMD + Intel graphics it might turn into a disaster for older devices. Especially Intel HD first gens + AMD. AMD still has not fixed the bootloops that the newest drivers cause for these specific older devices. (PXAI - AMD + Intel first gen) Catalyst 14.4 being the last driver to work properly for a lot of people. I will add NT 10.0 to the inf and then sign 14.4. Chances are that compatibility mode will work just fine for most people.
I have dell n5110 and it has Nvidia GPU and i didn't got any beta drivers and when i installed 8.1 drivers the whole system started acting weird so i turned back to 8.1
If I am correct, it has been speculated that there is way for Microsoft to get around it by making people find it easy to install Windows 10 on old PCs concerning issues on complacency, to bring along those using Windows XP who refused in migrating to Windows 8 in the past. At the end I don't think I should come to a conclusion very soon on ruling out the possibility of having old systems run on the upcoming Kernel version 10.x. My believe is that it is what Microsoft is either working toward or make the PC hardware cheap for those old users by granting it to OEM free of charge.
Don't know just flashed off the power throttle of a new gtx 970 and dialed in oc (1580/8000) and it is smoken on their previous windows, we can wait for rtm on this for sure. Save yourself the headaches. If the fps are better than windows 8 than maybe, hard to tell from where I am since I am on the vm channel so far. I see only cosmetic and it appears we went from control panel to control panel catagories and now maybe heading for PC settings. I like the pc setting environment so it find with me. One of those hmmm's notes: Why do they come up with "my computer, my documents ...." and then they realize that My before many in the fat is just more dos and flakey, I called my documents folder Docs long before in dos, now it goes back to "my PC", how long before they drop the MY?

The ad icon is exhilarating just as you stated though. Notwithstanding, the Build seems to be genuine.
Is there any way to disable the animation when you switch virtual desktops? I'm still at the first build so I don't know if it was removed on the latest one. Thanks!
That is not true.nVidia is supporting the Technical Preview up until the final release.Can`t post link,I`m not allowed I need to have 20 posts,u need to look on nVidia forums for more info.
