bubs79 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 has anyone upgraded to the new windows 10 version yet ? if so what is it like ? is it better to upgrade to that version? I did a bit of reading on wat features r in it, I noticed they have added a gaming feature . so instead of using a 3rd party like iobit game booster or razor cortex to turn off services u don't use during games , u can now do that with the new version of windows , just hope it does make a difference , as I play games on my laptop and I'm struggling with fps at the moment , I noticed a increase of 10 fps using razor , but I think if windows have got it as a feature there might be a better incease than razor , as I chcked that razor uses a lot of cpu resource to disable services . so in all is it worth updating?

Moderator Quaksen Posted May 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2017 My short opinion about "is it worth updating" is pretty much always going to be; "YES!" Sometimes it's worth waiting a while, for them to iron out the bugs - but when I did the update some time ago now - I haven't encountered any issues. Haven't really paid attention to the new "Game Mode"-thing, I would read up more on it, since it sounds different than the 3rd party stuff. Quote Link to comment
bubs79 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) ill update tonight , in my thinking if wndows 10 has introduced a game mode , I'm sure it will be better than the 3rd party programs as these programs basically force close services wheras I think the windows system closes them down properly . have to wait and see really. ive just read a lot more details about it , its not a performance based game boost lol , so basically almost pointless with people wiwho have top end gaming pcs , for me it looks like it will work as they tested it on a machine with i5 and hd 5500 card which is same as mine but with an i3 , they said they seen an increase on fps , but there is no options to configure yerself and that's a bad point , because I bet with the game boost it wont turn off the background transfer stuff that Microsoft want info on everything u do on their systems Edited May 18, 2017 by bubs79 Quote Link to comment
Moderator Quaksen Posted May 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2017 I doubt Windows would turn off it's own services, heh. Their feature is about changing the priority of things, most likely. Quote Link to comment
bubs79 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 yeh ive read a lot of things about Microsoft using services in background so they know excactly wat people do on their systems . a complete breach of yer own privacy . one thing I cant get rid off I the windows defender shield in task bar , for love of me I cant remember how to get into the settings lol Quote Link to comment
Moderator Quaksen Posted May 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 18, 2017 They aren't doing anything you aren't already informed about, or able to turn off... it's just people exaggerating and blowing it up And the Windows Defender icon is easy to get rid of https://www.howtogeek.com/264796/how-to-remove-the-windows-defender-icon-from-your-notification-area/ 1 Quote Link to comment
