Important Facts You Should Know Before Upgrading To Windows 10 After July 29 by ferdiklint(m): 12:57pm On Jun 15, 2015
Not long ago, Microsoft announced the date on which the Windows 10 operating system will be officially released. The company has now made available, more information which every user who wishes to upgrade to the windows 10 operating system should know. Upon upgrading to Windows 10, there are some features that will no longer work.

Below are some useful highlights:

1. If you have Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, or Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center and you install Windows 10, Windows Media Center will be removed.

2. Watching DVDs requires separate playback software

3. Windows 7 desktop gadgets will be removed as part of installing Windows 10.

4. Windows 10 Home users will have updates from Windows Update automatically available. Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise users will have the ability to defer updates.

5. Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Hearts Games that come pre-installed on Windows 7 will be removed as part of installing the Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft has released our version of Solitaire and Minesweeper called the “Microsoft Solitaire Collection” and “Microsoft Minesweeper.”

6. If you have a USB floppy drive, you will need to download the latest driver from Windows Update or from the manufacturer’s website.

7. If you have Windows Live Essentials installed on your system, the OneDrive application is removed and replaced with the inbox version of OneDrive.


System Requirements for Windows 10 Upgrade

Latest OS: Make sure you are running the latest version either Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update.

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC

RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit

Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS

Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver

Display: 800x600

Unfortunately, a lot of familiar features of earlier versions of windows won’t be coming back, but fortunately also, most of those features really do have alternatives. Taking point 2 For instance, the DVD playback which will be removed at the emergence of windows 10 can easily be substituted with the VLC Media player. There are other available substitutes for that, simply do a proper search on google and you are good to go.
In addition to the changes listed above, the famous browser, Internet Explorer that was usually use to download other browsers will be replaced by the new Edge browser, and many more changes that you will find upon upgrading to windows 10 operating system.
In no distant time, we will know how people are going to react to these changes being made by Microsoft.
