Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Ah right that's cool then. I didn't realise that was a feature. It'd be interesting to try that out then.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I tried out the android to xbox streaming last night, I got it as part of the preview. I had to complete one of the surveys before I could get the app though. It uses miracast I think.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Oh lovely. I bought a Roku for Miracast a while back, it's never worked properly with any Windows device.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I am thinking of installing Windows 10 this weekend on my main system since i have a 577 error message on Windows 8.1 for Windows Defender which i cant seem to fix, is it safe to use the 'fast ring'?

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I was also thinking of installing it, but everything is working just fine at the moment with Windows 8.1. Maybe I'll wait for something to go wrong before I give it a go.

Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
Could I use my external hard drive, with over 800GB of free space on to install 10 onto?

Well, I downloaded 10074 (or whatever the latest build is) the other day, installed it on freshly created partition and it's working well now. A little slower than Windows 8, but I have Windows 8 installed on a 256gig SSD and Windows 10 on quote an old HDD, so it's not really a fair comparison.
It worked well enough that it picked up everything apart from my GFX and Sound Cards. A quick visit the Nvidia website sorted the problem with the GFX card and although they aren't advertised as compatible, the Windows 7/8 drivers for my sound card work fine.
I'm seriously thinking of replacing Windows 8 with it.
