I just looked down at my system tray...there is an offer to reserve my free FULL upgrade to WIN10.
 
Do I want this?
 
Why?
 
Have any of you been extended this offer?
 
What can I expect, with regards to it working with my system listed below?
 
Thanks
 
edit: this only appears on my studio pc, not my laptop, and I don't believe it is on my work laptop...will check.

It's free to all users of Win7 and Win8 for a year from release. Anyone upgrading after that date will have to pay.
 
The only thing to watch out for, really, is driver compatibility with your audio interface. And the best way to do that is - Let Some Other Dude Try It First.
 
 

Ha...LOL JohnT.
 
Well I have all MOTU gear...I guess I could ping them.
 
 

Yeah, I'd imagine most manufacturers will have tested by now. It's been in public beta since last Autumn.

I'm quite looking forward to it, having skipped Win8. It looks like a good update in a general sense. But it doesn't have anything specific to enhance audio production, so no need to rush into it, I reckon.

Supposedly the 10 midi devices limit has finally been addressed.

I'm a user of the preview. It works wonderful with Moto USB cards. Both ASIO and WDM. I have been recording vocals with breverb live and no complaints of latency. 5,6 I guess. Not a huge project, but 5 synths, 1 EZdrummer 2 and some effects while recording. Oh 6 guitarrig tracks playback (not freezes).

Nvidia will only support Win 10 back to the GTX 600 series. My 460, a perfectly good graphics card will have to go bye bye....

That would affect my GTX 580 as well. Hmmm, can you redeem Win10 but not install it?

I'm anxious about it. I find it hard to trust Microsoft.
 
I don't feel like they are being generous. I feel like they are baiting a trap.
