Windows 10 - Technical Preview - can I install it on desktop?

Question

Microsoft

Is it possible now to put Technical preview on desktop for personal use?
Does it lag, do not crash?
And then the update will be available (otherwise Microsoft changes its mind about this every 20 days)?

Answer 1

Just do not put it on a working desktop, but where there is nothing to lose and everything will be in order.

Answer 2

For personal go. My virtual box, vagrant, cisco vpn did not start, I did not notice any other problems in my work.
Even if they come up with something interesting in terms of updating - how long will it take to reinstall?

Answer 3

It is still raw, the amd video drivers do not work well, they crash, if you like to play games, I do not advise. And so an interesting OS, you can put it, but it's better on a VM. Many programs do not work, it's still early. Release in a month, I think it will be better there

Answer 4

I've been living with it as my main system for several months now. There are problems, but so far nothing fatal.

Answer 5

I advise, but not now. Wait for the official release, because now you can experience some inconvenience.

Answer 6

I have lived on it since its release. There were problems, but in general everything is ok.
Sometimes amd drivers crash by themselves. Have to reinstall. I haven't seen anything particularly annoying.

Answer 7

After installing Windows 10, now I don’t want to go back to 8.1, even considering those moments that sometimes incidents happen, but this is, after all, a test system.
Here are the main problems that I have:
- Often when working, the video card disappears "The video adapter stopped responding and was restored";
- Sometimes when I put the laptop into standby / sleep mode, when I try to restore, a black screen and a mouse arrow appear and that's it. It helps to completely turn off and turn on the laptop again.
- From time to time, when you click on the start button, nothing happens
- If you drag, for example, a shortcut to a program on the home screen, it does not appear there.
Personally, I do not regret that I switched to 10, and you already think for yourself whether you are ready for this or not.
