Are you going to switch to Windows 10 asap ?
Yes
Are you going to wait until it's tested by others?
No
Do you fear any incompatibilities with your gear or games?
Not really, could raise support calls for broken things?
Do you have a legit Windows copy or not?
Erm, do technet iso's and keys count (I think they do, I is legit)
I have already backed up everything I need to, not a lot as most directories are pointing to my NAS. I'm going to do a fresh install of Win7 from ISO then hit the Windows updates, including the Win10 update.
Then we shall see. I will be installing all my games on Steam (to a 1TB sata HDD) and steam backup the whole installation. I will test and benchmark a bunch of games in the process and report back.
If I update with WIN74EVER, well, take a guess...

If anyone needs another voice of support, I've been running Windows 10 as my main OS both in my office and at home. Runs absolutely solid. Any issues I had prior to the most recent push were honestly minor in day to day use, and all appear to have been fixed with the update this morning.
Have yet to run into a game that didn't run. I DID have an issue with my X55 (which has rendered it useless), but research shows that a great number of people across the entire spectrum of OSes were having the same issue; that's on Saitek, not Windows.
All in all, highly recommended. And with the streamlined update process, you've got no reason to not upgrade. All of your data and installed files will be there when you finish; hell, you won't even have to change your background, 'cause it'll remember that, too!

My first attempt at updating went to hell. It got stuck on 35% of Changing Settings for 2 hours. Then I decided to reboot and reverted back to 8.1 automatically and gave me a message that Windows 10 failed to install with a problem in SECOND BOOT phase during MIGRATE DATA. Will try again because I'm a masochist.

Windows 10 has some bloat that should be removed on most gaming PCs: http://redd.it/3f10k0

There's no such thing as a free lunch (Or OS that is). Its part of their plan with the free OS release to recoup costs via micro transactions rather than upfront OS purchase.
Well, too fucking bad, Microsoft. I'm going to gut your operating system to the point where your bullshit won't even affect me.

You mean you work at the Microsoft campus in Redmond? If so, would you be willing to look into whether or not they'd be able to hire me on? :P

I was running the preview builds on my laptop for a while (2+ months) before I even thought about putting it on my desktop. In the beginning there were a few Video driver issues, but they got squashed pretty quick, and once I was happy with the build I installed it on the desktop. Its had 3 or 4 preview builds on it, and like I said before, the only issue so far is CorsairLINK.
