    Hi folks, I've got my AW15 R1 still on Win 8.1.

    Do you mind replying if you have upgraded to Win 10 or not and if you did, were there any issues I should look out for?

    Are there any features missing after upgrading or is there anything not working?

    Cheers!

    I did it with my old R1. Everything was just running fine. No issues at all.

    i have a 17 r2 and im still on win 8.1.. haven't tried win 10 because of all the bad reviews plus i thinks its a hassle to set it up so that i won't have all the telemetry and etc. i guess ill wait a little longer. maybe ill try to upgrade on june just before the free upgrade ends.. hehe...

    Yeah, I'm doing the same thing really. I have 8.1 set up just how I like it and it's running great so I have no need to upgrade right away. I don't want the hassle!

    But I'm just thinking about it before it gets too late!
