I wouldn't waste my time, there's nothing about Windows 10 that would make me want to spend time doing anything to it, only reason I'll upgrade is DX12

I've got a Windows 10 question. Is it supposed to be lighter than Windows 8?
I'm currently running a small power friendly laptop only having a Core 2 Duo 1.2Ghz X2 processor and 2gb ram.
Windows 8 works ok but being faster is always a good thing...
That said, I will shortly upgrade the ram from 2Gb to 4Gb and will obviously re-format to a 64 bit version of Windows...
There should be quite a difference in speed with double the ram and the 64 bit operating system...
No, it's the same ****. Being uglier didn't make it faster though
Why not try putting in a SSD instead of RAM? It'll make a huge difference.

Glad I'm not the only one that find the 9926 build to lag like crazy on older hardware. Dell 1525 laptop, cd2 @ 2GHz, 350GB WD Black.
It was super slow with other builds too, so I thought I would rebuild it from scratch with that WD Black instead of whatever slow POS 5400rpm it had already. No change in performance, haha. Must just be a win10 preview thing, too, like you guys say, because this lappy as well as a 1.6GHz AMD TL-50 Dell 1501 are very snappy under win7 or win8.
That being said, I'm still very much looking forward to win10.

So the missions thing, is this an attempt by Microsoft to get users to do all the stuff that they would either ignore or just skip through? By making tasks such as; making a back up, providing feedback to Microsoft, turning on VAC (if it's even still in this version) in to what amounts to an Achievement are Microsoft hoping to make this appeal to a generation of console gamers?

you can remove them all (even the link to MS ID, usefull for pro use), no hack needed, just same method as in W8.1.
