Windows 10 is not that different to Windows 8 mate you should be fine.

I'd recommend disabling all of the Cortana stuff, unless you want to send Microsoft loads of information :p

Check Device Manager make sure you have everything detected.

Also put up some pics! :)

received my 17" optimus today. whoopeee..

looks good, wont have a good chance to test and play about till weekend but intial thoughts ....

chasis looks good, well made.
screen/hood - reports of it being flimsy .. yes and no. ( again intial thoughts yet) seems sturdy enough to me.
whole chassis is soft touch
17" is "MASSIVE" , first time i went for 17" screen, brightness of screen looks a bit dim ( again initial thoughts) may be cos of windows 10.
- who else has ordsered windows 10 on the laptops, or pc's??
keyboard feels good and easy to use, gentle keypresses work fine
mouse pad seems good to, soft touch again including the buttons, with a fingerprint reader - dont know how to set that up yet? ( reports of mouse pad being of poor quality seem to be untrue?)
very large palm rest area
key illumination - dont know to make it work? i know how to switch illumination on, but the keyboard doesnt illuminate - probs due to windows 10 drivers, will have to figure out

windows 10 - ive used windows 8, but this w10 is bit more different and will need some getting used to . will have to pop over to mydigital life forums for info and usability tweaks etc.
few driver issues need to be sorted out still from outta the box.

when i switched it on ... it went straight into ddiskchk, apparantly was shut down incorrectly ??? rushed throght QC ???

overall i am very happy, no chuffed hehehe.

feel free to ask questions .. will do full review after ive had a good thorough playabout!

not really one for doing reviews ... never done on youtube thats for certain, but ill see, anyway cant do yet, gotta send it back ... keyboard not illuminating, possible faulty keyboard GRRRRRRR and you cant just pop the keyboard off on new chassis, you gotta take it apart from the back, like iphones, remove all the guts just to get to a tiny screw mmm.

beeen checking temps, i think theres possible driver isuses withgraphics, not played any games yet, just tested on idle on general surfing net.
idle temps -
gpu ~57 - seems to high for me idling?
cpu ~38

we have "control Centre" installed to control the fans, if i max the fans, the temps drop rapidly down to below room temp. but on entertainment mode ( which i believe is the most common mode for general work ) the temps rise quiclky to 50+ deg celcius. but on quiet mode they go above 65 deg celcius.?????

edit- im using laptop on a cooling stand - CoolerMaster U3 Plus Ultra-Quiet Laptop Cooler. helps a bit
