Both my PCs are using a SSD for the operating system. This makes it very easy to do an image backup of the entire SSD. I use a product called Acronis which allow the copy of an entire partition from one drive to another drive.
I will back up the partition before installing Windows 10. If it doesn't work out, I will simply copy the partition back again.
For each PC, I keep several hard drives in rotation and copy the partition as a backup on a regular basis.

I took the reservation deal and downloaded Win 10. Haven't used it yet. Win 7 is till doing its thing for me so I still have the options open. But the time'll come when I have to either use the free Win10 or pay for it when 7 follows XP down the tube. Might as well have the free one to hand.

My FYI is to wait a few months. For reasons that may not matter to most, it seems that anything "Windows" even number is the worst until the bugs get ironed out.
That is something to consider plus when they do find out problems from the real world, it'll take a few months to send all the corrective upgrades. I for one don't need the hassle of having a ton of upgrades everytime I shutdown. (In a matter of speaking that is.)

According to all that I have read, there will be no service packs for Windows 10 period, all improvements will be done
through Windows updates as they come up along.

No use to us home users but there will have to be service packs of they want businesses to use it.
We never install an update before it is tested by the IT department to make sure nothing beaks. Then it is pushed down to all the users.
I development instruments used for oil exploration. Unfortunately we are using Windows. "Linux is easier to manage" We have to control what updates are installed and when. Our systems spend most of their life's off the grid with no internet connectivity. Updates are installed when a field service engineer brings patches on a USB stick.
Hospitals are another place where automatic updates are never done. I would not want to be in a CAT scan machine that just got an update from Microsoft.
Aircraft, Ships engine controls are other applications where this is not acceptable.
I was riding a research vessel after an update to the Engine software that was windows based. There was a bug that caused both engines to shut down. Caused five million dollars damage to the sensor cables and it took two months to untangle and repair the equipment.

Amen! I've been in IT for almost 50 years and will never upgrade to a new Window$ operating system right off the bat - I ALWAYS wait at least 6 months, sometimes longer so that I don't have to deal with the inevitable patches and fixes that always follow such releases.
By all means reserve your copy if you wish but you have a year to upgrade for free. I would definitely wait to see how many critical bugs are embedded in this initial release before committing to the upgrade.
FWIW nobody gives anything away for free these days, especially Micro$oft ... I just can't figure out their angle (it ain't that they're feeling generous, trust me :) ).

I suspect they are trying to preserve market share. They will make money on new system sales.
Apple and Android have them worried.

You're probably right. I'd switch if I didn't live in a M$ world at work. Next year, when my job goes away and I'm laid off (too old and make too much money after 50 years) I'll re-evaluate the operating system I use.

I visited the Intel site a few minutes ago and they said that they will issue a driver for Windows 10. Run your test again and see if the warning has disappeared.

I am more concerned about which version they will be giving us free of charge. Windows comes in many packages. Basic, Home Premium, etc. The most basic version may not have all the bells and whistles you want and then they have you by the short hairs to pay for an upgrade to the more premium version.
