Anybody had a chance to use the advance version of Windows 10? The free update offer popped up on both my PCs yesterday and I'm wondering if I should let it update when it's available.

Didn't know there was an advanced version. Windows 10 is supposed to be the update we wanted Windows 8 to be. The big thing for me, is the Start Menu is supposed to return. That alone is worth a free update.

The info that comes with the update link says that thousands of people have been using Win 10 prior to it's general release, I guess beta testing. Just curious. I've just gotten fairly comfortable with Win 8 and any time I update an OS there always seems to be a learning curve.

Millennium was the Windows version I hated the most until Windows 8. I've never adjusted to the lack of a start menu, and all the "fixes" to make a type of start menu available, never really replaced the full functionality of the start menu. With all my software and devices, I typically update right away. I don't worry so much about change or learning curves. I've never had an instance where I've been disappointed or longed for the old version (except for Windows 8 which came on a new computer so I had no choice but to switch it.)

I love Windows 8. Been using 10 for about 4 months now, I really like it. It's still a little buggy but I'm using a prerelease build so that's expected.

Windows 8 is God awful. I can't stand it.

How much different is it then 8? It too me a while to get used to some of the features that were new to 8. As I said I tend to do OK when the OS changes there's just a bit of a learning curve for me.

It's much more Windows 8 than it is Windows 7.
