Flash player will do nicely!
Will we have a choice to download an Win10 ISO from Microsoft?

All my computers now have the "reserve your copy of Win 10" icon in the tray now. I've accepted the offer on the "experimental laptop". If I like it, I will go the same route for this laptop. The big [big] FS desktop unit will remain Win7. It's stable and I like it that way.

Does anybody know about drivers? Other than nvidia, there's always about 5-6 drivers to install. Will they be part of the upgrade or will it be necessary to download them from the computer manufacturer? Inquiring minds want to know.
If it will work like windows8 than we will have the option to do a clean or an update install during the instalation process. I remember when i installed win8 (I had win7 home edition before), that it asked me that and i choosed a clean install. It ofered me the possibility to burn a iso too

I am still uncertain what to do about this. I have reserved a free copy which I will be "notified" about tomorrow. I am abroad on vacation the next day for two weeks and don't want it auto-installing while I am away and disabling FSX! I would like to preserve the option to upgrade but after things are more settled and clear on how to keep DX9 (don't use/like DX10) functional. Very happy with Windows 7 Professional otherwise.
Questions:
- Does a Windows 10 o/s upgrade wipe clean everything - including FSX and all add-ons (yikes!) - on my system or leave it as is?
- If I keep the reservation, will I still be able to defer the actual install/upgrade until some time later of my choosing - and under my control - or will it auto-install overnight without my being aware of it the way my "normal" Windows Updates do?
- If I cancel the reservation now, can I preserve the free upgrade option for installing W 10 at some later date (non-business user; Windows 7 Professional)?
Many thanks in advance for your comments.
Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Expect banging, belching and an occasional manly fart as you roar down the runway at full power. (I have found that the engine can make similar noises)
A dumb arse question, so sorry.
I currently have Win 7 64 bit Ultimate, so if I go for the free upgrade is the 64 bit as well?
Cheers Dave.
It is my understanding that we have until July NEXT year to upgrade for free........ I think I'll wait and see what is going to happen with FSX before deciding...... been on the bleeding edge a few times too often
It's 7/29 somewhere in the world-anyone tried it yet?
Francois- You are correct about the one year..

There could be some things removed when overlaying win 10 on your system (such as parts of FSX) so I will do a backup using windows system image backup to a usb drive. I am not sure how, what and where to get the proper usb drive so does anyone have any experience with them?
Yer darn tootin ...considering one 10 update has already crashed explorer.exe [good thing they're forced on you - since revised with a release which enables actual shock-horror - CHOICE].
The intention of the 'free' upgrade is to get as many people as possible onto 10 as quickly as possible...so that ongoing support for older OS's can tail off sooner rather than later. It's a sensible ploy on the part of MS.
Atm, Las Vegas Pacific time my Computer is downloading the W10 update and lining up in que for a slot just after midnight to begin install upgrade process. The Process began for me 4:58pm according to the time stamp.
