Yes... it's a big step on from windows 8.1. There's a revival of the Start Menu, it brings Cortana's artificial intelligence to the desktop & Internet searching, an auto adapting interface for changing between Tablet and Laptop modes and... has replaced Internet Explorer with an all new & much improved browser. ..
All in all, I like

I understood the bit about replaced internet explorer all the rest was in a foreign language I think .
I still use windows 7 as I really couldn't get to grips with 8 at all .

It's the start of the subscription model for Microsoft operating systems. OS as a service.
Feature upgrades and some updates will be delivered by a mechanism similar to Windows Update that will be via subscription.

I've registered my windows 7 laptop ready. You can do a compatibility check on the Microsoft site.
Windows 10 is out in test mode atm and the full version is released the last week of July.
It's probably safer to wait till it's had loads of users, and any issues ironed out. |

There's also word that the "free" upgrade is one way only, once you've taken it and installed/activated it there's no going back.
It may be helpful to take an image of your existing OS in case you want to return to a prior state.

I would suggest getting another drive and ghosting it across so if there are any problems you can go back to the original drive |

Got Windows 8.1 had Vista previous, and didn't like 8 at all...took a week or two and I loved it.
Bit wary of switching to 10 as I am happy with 8.1, though some of the 10 features do look cool and fix some of the minor irritations with 8.1. |

From it's release date, there's a 12 month period of free update to 7 & 8 users.
So I'll be waiting till well into the 12 month period before even thinking about upgrading, Microsoft have a poor record re bugs and issues in new software. |
