Anyone planning on trying Windows 10 Preview tomorrow?

[Chris Stephen]

Hi there.

I'm really curious to see how Windows 10 will work on the Surface Pro 3. Anyone else going to try this?

Probably not immediately. I am interested, by my SP3 is my work machine and installing 10 Preview onto it could cause issues.

Yes....

I really want to, but too reliant on my SP3 right now. The MS preview video I saw today suggested that you do it on a "secondary PC" as it will certainly have "rough edges" for a while. Not gonna put that on my baby quite yet.

I wonder if I could run it on virtual machine in VMware Workstation.

Well, I certainly won't slap it on my SP3, but on one of the "non-essential" PCs for sure.

I'll be popping the preview on to a 2nd partition on my desktop PC to try, depending on how 'stable' it is I may consider putting it on the SP3.

Hyper-V + Windows 10 = FTW

Here's a question: will the recovery utility restore back to an original SP3? That is, if I install the preview to a new partition (I probably have plenty of space on my 256GB), and have issues, can I restore back to the factory partitioning?

That's my question. If the answer is "yes," then I'll probably give it a shot. If I can't easily restore, then I'll only try it on my desktop (where it's very easy to be creative with partitioning).

Not on my SP3, but on my SP2...

 

[mtalinm]

you must be joking. MSFT's "official" upgrades for Surface are buggy enough!

Looks nice so far but not ready yet to put on the SP3
