On July 29, the final version of Windows 10 and one of the doubts, in addition to those that we have already dealt with in our article on the most common questions regarding the new operating system, is the question of whether it should be install the new software in its first days of life on the market or wait a few days, after which several possible errors that may appear are usually solved.
If you are one of those who has decided that you are going to install or upgrade to Windows 10 as soon as it is available, you should not waste too much time reading these 10 reasons why you should not install Windows 10, although it might not be bad if you will keep an eye on it. If you have questions about installing the new software, read carefully because this interests you.
Does your computer work fine? Do not touch it
If your computer works perfectly with Windows 7 o Windows 8 and you are comfortable working with one of these operating systems, It may not be a good idea to install Windows 10 as it will be a very different environment than the one you will have to get used to.. Also if you do not use the computer or other device too much, it may not be necessary to update to the new operating system if you are not going to use it.
Windows 10 could be buggy in the early days
Despite the fact that Microsoft has been launching several test versions of its new operating system, with which it has been able to polish errors and improve various aspects, In the first days of Windows 10's life on the market, various errors will surely appear. These errors will be fixed over the days by means of updates, but they can be a real nuisance for some users who need a software that works fully and without errors.
If, for example, you use your computer to work, we strongly discourage updating to Windows 10 the first day since you may find yourself with an error that prevents you from working, which can be a big problem.
Upgrading can be torture
According to Microsoft data, up to a total of 1.000 billion devices have the possibility of updating to Windows 10, of which 500 million have already reserved their version of the operating system. Although those of Redmond insist on saying that nothing should go wrong, with that many users requesting the update, this can become a real torture in which we could also waste a lot of time.
Compatibility issues
If the trial versions already offer several compatibility problems with for example different graphics cards, the final version could offer more problems of this type. According to various sources Some older graphics or other cards may not be recognized by the new Windows 10, assuming a complicated problem for the user.
Lack of drivers
Windows 10 trial versions are already a problem for many peripherals, and the final version could continue to be. Whoever writes, for example, has no sound on the computer, in addition to having the printer and the scanner for decoration due to the absence of drivers.
This lack of drivers according to Microsoft will be solved over the days, but it is possible that if we install the new operating system on July 29, some of the peripherals that we have will not work for us.
Problems with some programs
As with the drivers some programs could also give us some problems when trying to install them. It should not be too many programs that give us problems, only very specific ones, but if for example you work with very specific software you should be careful since you may not be able to install it in Windows 10 until after a few days.
Update time can be long
Just like when you install a program, installing or upgrading to Windows 10 will take a long time to complete the entire process. If you can't waste your time, it is best not to update to the new operating system, at least for now. In addition, in the first days the update process, given the great demand for the new software, could be more durable.
Windows 10 will not be multi-device yet
As we all know, the versions of Windows 29 for computers and tablets will hit the market on July 10. The version for mobile devices will still take some time to reach the market officially, so We won't be able to say that the new Windows will be fully multi-device for a few weeks. This can certainly be a good reason not to install Microsoft's new operating system until we can get the most out of the multi-device option.
The price
In the event that you cannot access Windows 10 for free, it may not be a bad idea to wait a few days or weeks to update your computer and although they are not planned for the moment, perhaps we could see some kind of discount or offer by Microsoft.
Not that Windows 10 is too expensive, but it's never a bad idea to save a few bucks that we can invest in something else or in other software.
Upgrading to Windows 10 can be cumbersome and expensive
Despite the fact that to update to Windows 10 on our computer it will not be necessary to make a backup copy of everything we store on our computer, since it will not be deleted, it will not be a bad idea to put everything we have on our hard drive safe. Making a backup takes time, and is often a cumbersome process, so installing Windows 10 can end up becoming an odyssey.
These are 10 reasons why you should not install Windows 10 in its first hours and days of life, although there are also many others that should lead you to install the new operating system as soon as it sees the light in the market. Its new design, the speed it will offer us, the new options or the possibility of getting it for free are just some of the reasons.
As usual, you have the last word and you are the one who must weigh the pros and cons of installing Windows 10 in its first moments of life on the market.
Are you one of those who are going to install Windows 10 the same July 29 or one of those who are going to wait a few days?.
