Hobo can confirm since hes got it already it seems, but you can choose between a fresh install (loose everything) or one where you can retain files (documents, videos, pictures).

When Windows tells you the update to 10 is available (or you force it to be available), just go through the steps to complete it. There's no data or settings loss. The only thing I had to reinstall were graphic drivers for Nvidia.

Considering Windows 8.1 outperforms and looks better than 7, i'm going to disagree with you. Whats so great about 7 (and dont say the start menu being gone. We've all heard that before).

Hobo, how does it perform?

Seems fine so far. GTA V seems to run a bit smoother. And they added multiple desktops :D

If you want to crack Windows and/or Office you're better off using KMSpico, it's a crack program that keeps Windows cracked even after updates, and no.. It does not contain a virus, because I've had it on my computer ever since I upgraded it and haven't had trouble at all.
I can confirm I can update to Windows 10 so the crack isn't a worthless thingymabob.

Pros:
- Overall smoother and quicker (more FPS in games like LoL)
- Desktop background clear unlike in 8.1
- Alt tabbing between games/programs seems to be improved
- Quick upgrade

Cons:
- Privacy
- Battery seems to last less
- Bloatware apps


I removed all the metro apps and I don't miss a single one.

how to remove them: https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/3f6gsl/remove_default_apps_from_fresh_windows_10_install/

or you use this command in powershell to remove EVERY app, this also removes the windows store, use on your own risk. I haven't had any problems yet.
