Release date confirmed as 29th July - https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/3871/and-the-release-date-for-windows-10-is
While it's going to be a pretty big change, I think it's going to be easier for Windows 7 users to transition to Windows 10, than it would be for those same people going to Windows 8/8.1. The Metro style things aren't drastically different than other apps now, since they don't go to new screens and stay on the desktop, unless the user clicks the button for tablet mode.

Hmmm. I got myself Intel graphics driver 4214. Newer than 4204. Will try it on my device after work today and let you all know if it's better or not.

Do share. I am fighting to get DaisyChain working with Windows 10 and I believe it is the graphics driver. I would love to try this...
Agree, I'd like to hear about the Intel graphics drivers. It was a bit of a search to locate 4204... wish Intel would put the beta versions on their download page.
edit: just found their community page with a link to 4206 beta https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24937

I will share the link for 4212. However. I have NOT tested this. If it blows up your machine, catches fire, causes cash to fly out your USB port or anything else, it's ON YOU for trying it.
I was going to be the guinea pig later this evening....

I know it doesn't say for Win10, but 4204 also says Win7/8 only and works for me. I will have to try them shortly (fingers crossed)
Will the RTM release only work as an upgrade I wonder ? i.e.do I have to leave 8.1 on to be able to get the RC on 29th July ?
Was wondering about removing 8.1 entirely, so getting latest full ISO (whatever number that was ) putting on to USB and then starting fresh with Windows 10 and no left overs from 8,1, then updating to get whatever will be latest build from there but if I need to keep 8.1 to get full Windows 1o may be it's not worth it !
Any opinions ? Who amongst you has gone 'all in' and got rid of 8.1 entirely.
I'm dual booting at the moment but other than poor battery life on Windows 10 I am much happier on it now !

4204 has 2 drivers. One is for 8.x and the other, the 15 series is for win 10. That one came through WIN UPDATE only, not on Intel's site. I am not sure I'd suggest forcing win 8 drivers to work on 10.... Tho in theory, you could mod the inf/xml file.
