Re: Windows 10

Shut up I found it lol.

Was Google lost? I didn't get the memo.....

It's a joke well-known among the Russians in the Internet, suitable when a person is asking something obvious which is not difficult to find using Google in a minute.

At least you are probably not subject to these commercials from Captain Obvious:

Re: Windows 10

Not information about Battlefield 1942 on Windows 10 (which I didn't have any problem with, but last tested during the 1013x builds),

But regarding information for the Windows 10 upgrade itself, one point is that if you want the free license being offered by Microsoft for the first year, you /must/ do an upgrade of an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8.x installation on the machine.  During the upgrade, Microsoft will record the hardware fingerprint as being a device which is authorized to have the free Windows 10 license.

THEN you can do whatever you want: Format and restore your Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 installation again and keep running that version (knowing you have a Windows 10 license on this device if and whenever you decide to switch), or you can format and install Windows 10 clean from the DVD using the .ISO file link provided earlier.

When you format and do a clean installation of Windows 10, you don't have to enter an activation key; just use the "Skip" and "Do this later" links when prompted. Because you previously performed the upgrade & obtained the free license on this device, when Windows 10 checks the activation server it will find the previous license and activate you automatically without entering a key.  Same info and maybe more detail in this post.

I definitely consider Windows 10 "a version of Windows 8.1 you will probably actually like", and will be switching to Windows 10 on any machines I'm currently running Windows 8.x on.  But like Windows 8.1, "there isn't really anything you /need/ in this release" as compared to continuing to run Windows 7.  Unless features like Cortana float your boat.

The biggest reason I see for Windows 7 users making the move to Windows 10 (and/or at least obtaining the free Windows 10 license while it's being offered) is that Microsoft mainstream support for Windows 7 ended in January 2015.  Eventually we're going to be "in Windows XP territory" with neither Microsoft nor application vendors offering Windows 7 support any more.

Re: Windows 10

Anyone had already tested Battlefield 1942 mods (e.g. BF1918, Desert combat, FH, EoD) on Windows 10?

Re: Windows 10

I finally upgraded to Windows 10.  The process was smooth enough once it got going.  I didn't have to reinstall and programmes, including BF1942 but I did have to activate DirectPlay to play it.  Thanks seventy for that advice:

"The only thing I had to turn on after the upgrade was the DirectPlay feature, you can find out how to do it here:
https://windowsforum.com/threads/turn-o … 10.205952/"

I did - and still am - having some trouble with my audio.  At first my headphones would not play video or game sound even though they played system sounds, like beeps and the like.  I uninstalled, reinstalled, and restarted a few times and nothing happened.  The next day, however, my headphones were magically working. 

Some aspects do seem a little buggy, but hey, we are the guinea pigs!
