My guess, it's the difference between WDDM 1.3 (DX11) and WDDM 2.0 drivers. If you're using a card that's DX12-capable, you might have to reinstall to enable WDDM 2.0 function.The only hiccup I had was that I had to re-install my nVidia drivers after the upgrade. Other than that, absolutely no problems.
Strangely, I didn't have to do that on my "media PC" downstairs, which has another nVidia card. Different card yes, but still, both "not new" cards that had their drivers both up-to-date prior to upgrade..
@DarkAudit okay, apparently my account marked this as "I need this explained to me." I don't recall actively doing so, so I can only assume I butt dialed did it in my sleep or I've been having more black outs than I thought I did. In any case, apologies.Main desktop install complete. And an actual hiccup. Would not install from Windows Update. Had to download the media creation tool and run to upgrade "this PC". Everything proceeded normally from that point.
Seriously, uninstall everything Nvidia related and reinstall. The drivers are somewhat broken if you just let it update on it's own.So far it seems to be working pretty well. The biggest hiccup I had updating was that the Nvidia Experience app no longer works, but not like I used it that much. The only major gripe I have is getting used to the new positions in the UI, but I don't really blame it for that, it's just a given I have to relearn a bit. Been oddly impressed with how fast Cortana has been finding what I ask, and overall the system feels like it's running a lot faster. Once I learn the inner-workings a bit more, I think this will be a successful upgrade to Windows 7.
The drivers are working fine, it's only the "Experience" app that didn't make the conversion.Seriously, uninstall everything Nvidia related and reinstall. The drivers are somewhat broken if you just let it update on it's own.
During the process, I was asked "do you want to schedule the upgrade for a later time?" but it only gave me the choice of up to 2 days in the future.I reserved my Windows 10 and it's trying to upgrade it now. But I don't want to upgrade yet. Is there an ideal way to tell Windows "hold up, don't upgrade yet"?
Only when it's time to put in a better video card.People turn off their computers???
Pretty much this. I never shut my computer down unless it's to restart it for an update or something.Only when it's time to put in a better video card.
I like to not have to sit and wait for steam to finish downloading patches before I play something.I shut my computer off every night. Do you know what kind of heat that thing can generate?
Besides, it takes all of 10 seconds for it to boot up again.
10 seconds? PffftI shut my computer off every night. Do you know what kind of heat that thing can generate?

Gives the power supply fan a longer shelf life. I've fixed more than one friend's computer that actually caught on fire because the power supply fan seized and the thing overheated.People turn off their computers???
I wish!People turn off their computers???
You just put it to sleep when you're not actively using it?Oh, I do a SOFT reset every week or two. But I never POWER OFF.
Of course not, that'd be inane. All the drawbacks of shutting down with none of the benefits.You just put it to sleep when you're not actively using it?

Just the idea of your machine being at 100% ALL THE TIME even though nobody can see it. Well, at least it's ready at a moment's notice.Of course not, that'd be inane. All the drawbacks of shutting down with none of the benefits.
Only the monitor shuts off (automatically after 10 mins of disuse). Everything else stays at 100% BABY
Americans really and honestly still need an ecological mind shift if they think it's a good idea to leave a computer running at 100% the whole time. No offense (to Gas and Amy and whoever), but most people here would realise that's a complete and utter waste of energy for no sensible benefit.Just the idea of your machine being at 100% ALL THE TIME even though nobody can see it.

I remote login to my machines pretty frequently actually.Americans really and honestly still need an ecological mind shift if they think it's a good idea to leave a computer running at 100% the whole time.

That doesn't help my torrents.Remote boot is also an option these days, especially and easily if you put it to sleep instead of shutting down
I just stopped the download, and will download it when I'm ready to upgradeSo... any ideas on how to tell Windows to delay the update?
That's part of the point of the new system, that you can't. Too many were just never updating. Yes this is a case of the mass of idiots impacting those who were doing it right, but IMO it isn't that hard a pill to swallow.So... any ideas on how to tell Windows to delay the update?
I don't have windows 10 yet, so I can't test for myself, but googling around, I saw that Cortana seems to only respond out loud to verbal commands - if you type to her, she "types" back.So I guess I have Windows ten now on my Mac boot camp drive....
how do I make Cortana actually speak? ( As opposed to just display text?)
What, you too good to talk to Cortana? Just close your eyes and pretend she's Siri. And be glad she isn't Jane from "Ok Google"/Google Now.YOU MEAN I HAVE TO TALK TO HER IF I WANT HER TO TALK TO ME? WHAT IS THIS, REAL LIFE?!
