    Hi All,

    Just a quick one - can anyone who has upgraded their 2014 razor blade to the latest version of windows 10 TP tell me the following:

    1) Does Optimus work properly with both dx9 and dx11 games?
    2) How is the rest of the experience - any major things to know about?

    I really would like to install the preview but concerned regarding optimus.

    Thanks All!

    Rgds.

    So far, with latest build today (9879) and latest Nvidia driver 344.65, Optimus is still not working.

    System so far seems much slower. Everything works fine, although windows does not recognize the touchpad as being high precision, so the new gestures don't work either. (The synatics driver works fine though.)

    I'm waiting for the Razer USB key to arrive to reinstall Windows 8.1, until they finally get a working driver.

    Now working: with 9879 and Nvidia 347.09, optimus is working, at least in the first game I tried it with (Tomb Raider)...
