Windows 10 and Early Adopting
10 years ago
General
Hey, for anyone considering using it, I'd advise you against it if you have commissions to do or if you have schoolwork that needs to get done ASAP, etc, etc. Early adopting is fun, I enjoy it, too. I bought a Surface 3 in the first month they came out. But you don't want to do it with something that's going to be your only lifeline to income or whatever is important in your life. I wouldn't have gotten a Surface 3 if it was going to be my only device (for multiple reasons, but this is besides the point.)
Sure, if you have another tablet as a supplement to your desktop or main work device, like me, go for it. Download windows 10 on your tablet and use it to fuck around on.
Don't do it on your main thing. Don't put your stuff at risk because early adopters, while they're the first to get the shinnies, they're the first to go through the headaches of first generation bugs and flaws. All of those nice little how-to's that make solving issues you have when your drivers crash or you restart services on sai or any number of super specific things are going to have to be rediscovered again.
If you're a big tech geek who knows about OS's and like the intimate details, you can ignore me, you probably already have. But as a word of advice to anyone who's more like me and is a mild enthusiast who doesn't know much, be careful with how quickly you jump onto the newest plaything around.
Edit: If you've used windows 10, leave a comment if it's been working well/bad for you and also you can scroll down to see what other people are saying or what their advice is for transitioning!

I use Ubuntu for my day-to-day stuff and use Kali for...stuff.
Too close for my liking. Waaayyyy too close.
Thanks for the warning Brave!
Yeah, I know what you mean. A friend of mine who plays the same games I do updated to windows 10 and all the games worked fine, I just forgot to see if the art programs would work fine too D:
You can always perform "Dual Boot" if you install it as a secondary OS instead of an upgrade as well and choose which OS every time your computer boots.
\/IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ARTISTS!\/
Some performance issues. Certian programs now have free reign over the processing power, eg photoshop, where photoshop is given free access to your computers entire memory system/processor system, and basically makes the computer so slow/unusable at times. This has happened to afew people, except those with extremely high end computers.
User experience may vary, but graphics design, 3d sculpting, photo editing and other similar processor intensive items can cause slowdown of entire system, hang at worst.
