Windows 10 Technical Edition to install or is 8.1 better yet?

Question

System administration

You need an operating system for everyday work on Gigabyte Brix.
Windows 8.1 I plan.
I thought about Windows 10: is it better to install or still 8.1 for now?
Are device drivers designed for Windows 8.1 compatible: will they fit on 10?
Thank you.

Answer 1

While it is better not to bet - the curve is raw and unviable at this stage IMHO.

Answer 2

I would wait for the release if I were you. There is nothing so special in 10k that would rush to upgrade to it.

Answer 3

No, the version distributed for testing and review should not be installed for work. There are licensing restrictions as well. Even though I haven't found any time limits for using this test version right now, this version will not necessarily be upgraded to the version that Microsoft releases at release.

Answer 4

the name Technical Edition seems to hint that this version is not for everyday work

Answer 5

The final release of Windows 10 is scheduled for fall 2015. You have time to think, details here xakep.ru/2014/12/18/win10-tech-review

Answer 6

Judging by the fact that they did it again (note: they released a crooked and inconvenient nonsense), then I would not advise, but it's up to you to decide, fortunately, enough information, reviews and reviews have already appeared.

Answer 7

I put it on an old computer (by the way, also gigabyte - d525tud) to play with Arduino - it works fine, I liked it. The seven drivers are up. It collapsed a couple of times, but nothing was lost, it recovered itself. On the main computer 7, 8 do not like it even once.

Answer 8

Recently I installed the 10th, and after the N-th update, half of the applications fell off and everything began to slow down terribly, although everything was quite good before the update. So it doesn't work for the OS.
