Installed it earlier on, upgraded from 7.

Took just under an hour to download and install. Pretty nice actually, everything is quick again, 7 was slowing down a fair bit. Had zero issues so far.

8 was shit. 8.1 sorted out all the shit bits.

i have just got a replacement HD to pop in today, wondering whether to try it on that and keep the other as dormant for now... maybe install cs:go on the new one and see if it is win7 playing up... i did just download that five nights at freddys 4 cos devilo spawn youngest kept on... and on install it asked if i wanted to repair windows re-dist c++ watever so i did and i didnt crash he said... i will try cs:go and find out if that was the issue :?:

You can upgrade to Windows 10 then rollback to Windows 7 if need be although I haven't tried it as 10 is working quite well for me.

Not had any problems with VLC.

Only problem I have had is when setting the PC to go to sleep on occasion it wakes up a minute later. A restart fixed that although it is a tad annoying.
