Hey Guys - I am keeping up with your discussions, even if not commenting. I haven't received any upgrade notifications in Windows 10 Insider Preview as yet, still working with RTM.
Daniel - I think it's pretty safe to assume that, if you are experiencing graphic driver issues in the RTM, it's unlikely they'll go away with the final version. What is your card model?
I would definitely consider upgrading Win7 to Win10, at least before the one-year free offer expires. Don't forget mate, you've got 12 months to decide.
It runs fine in W7 but kept crashing in W10 usually when I tried to play some of the card games and sometimes with the Edge browser. The only other graphics driver that would work was the Windows Basic Graphics Driver but then Auto Update kept trying to install the NVidia Driver.
The media creation tool was an excellent suggestion Daniel and I'll be running it on this machine too (8.1.1.1.1).
However I'll still be keeping 7 as the principal OS on both machines.
With your driver issue, I'd be inclined to uninstall the new driver, but before that change the settings as per Jim's article here
And also try this Microsoft fix:

Daniel, a new Windows 10 compatible driver (32 and 64-bit) for your graphic card was released by NVIDIA on 29th July: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/87789/en-us
Before I try the final version of W10 I would like to have some advice on this PC setup. Disk 1 is a 2 partition HD and Disk 2 is a bkup using Aomei. XP I cannot live without because that is where I play all my games that I have accumulated over the years. Do ya'll think Easy BCD could be installed on W10 to replicate this setup.Jim, if this works would I just add a W10 partition bkup with Aomei to my bkup drive. I already have a partition bkup of XP and W7 on this drive as well as my file sync bkup. Thanks.
