Bill, you could always try it on your
8.1 laptop and then, should find it not to your liking, return to
your 8.1 system by using the restore point that 10 creates before
installing. For years now I have found no system problem that
could not be resolved be reverting to a previous working state.
My brother installed 10 on an 8.1 laptop almost as soon as it was
announced back in July, found that the video driver wasn't working
properly, and simply went back to his 8.1 system with no adverse
effects. A few weeks ago he tried 10 again and found it to be
working properly. In the meanwhile the proper video driver had
been added. His success encouraged me to try it, and 10 installed
fine on two 8.1 machines and one 7 machine. I find 10 to be at
least as stable as 8.1, without its goofy interface.

I'm afraid to do it on my Win 8.1 laptop because that works so well (it really is a superior system to 7 I believe -- in terms of stability. The interface isn't nice but it really isn't hard to navigate around either) that I'm afraid to monkey with it. My only issue with recent builds of 8.1 is that some inconveniences have shown up with Eudora, nothing fatal, but annoying. |
