Windows 10; will it break the game?
Question towards anyone who has updated to win 10 on their PC's, do you know if it will break your game and delete everything on the pc? like a factory reset type of deal?

Windows 10
 Good question ! No idea. I would hate to have to go back to resetting everything up again having just got things stable.

I was talking to the IT guy where I work and he said to give Win 10 about 6 months before you even think about ungrading. He said let MS get some of the kinks out of it first.
Just a thought for those of you who may be contemplating going to Win 10 like I am.

windows 10
 Your IT colleague I feel has offered the best solution. We should at lest by then, know what we are up against.

After re-reading the original post, I'm not so sure he's worried about Windows 10 itself so much as the question of whether the act of overwriting the old OS with a new one will also overwrite the game and all our saved games.

windows 10
I'm using windows 7 and all's fine. However, when update notified me of version 10, I read thru all the accompanying notes. Then I put myself on the waiting list.

Microsoft are very keen to get everyone using Windows 10. So keen that they are offering it for free, and have even placed a button to register for it on our taskbar. They don't do this to be nice...don't fall for it.
I'd stay with Windows 7 or 8, until we see where Windows 10 is trying to take us.
