Microsoft’s Windows 10 Technical Preview may
seem to be a good alternative for current
Windows users, But in reality it aint so!!!
Microsoft seems to have decided not to release next
major build of its Windows 10 desktop preview version
next week but instead offering an update for the current
Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 version. It seems
that Microsoft is running slow of it schedules or what
tech world has expected of it.
Not to forget that Microsoft’s final Windows 10 build
won’t be available to all users commercially, until this
fall. Looking at the bleak scenario, users looking for
Windows 10 final build are trying out the Windows 10
Technical Preview for free, but is it really a wise to do
so?
Here are 5 top reasons why I think installing Microsoft’s
Windows 10 Technical Preview is not a wise decision!
1. Windows 10 Technical Preview not the best Microsoft
is going to give you in terms of software
Like all major companies, Microsoft’s Windows 10
Technical Preview has been released to test the major
things it lacks. Also it is a beta version for vulnerabilities,
bugs and flaws that should be fixed before the Windows
10 commercial release. What that means is, Microsoft
needs as many users as possible to test Windows 10
Preview on their PC’s to help it check how it can
improve the Windows 10.
2. Bugs , Bugs and More Bugs
Since you have chosen to test out the Windows 10 TP,
you should be knowing that your PC will become more
prone to bugs, vulnerabilities and crashes. Some users
are even reporting BSODs. What that means is your
‘Familiar PC’ may become very unfamiliar to you with
very new and unexpected problems starting to kick in,
which could be anything starting from PC getting slow to
overheating, to a total performance downgrade.
3. Software Issues / Incompatibility
One of the major reason why you should not opt for the
Windows 10 TP version is that you may face various
software incompatibility issue.
Think about it, you try to access a software and it goes
dead with your freshly downloaded Windows 10 TP
version. As said above, Windows 10 TP is a guinea pig of
sorts and it may be some time before Microsoft’s
engineers put all the drivers and software components
for all Apps and accessories. Knowing that you are just a
part of the great Microsoft Windows 10 TP lab program,
it could a very bad idea, especially, if you run variety of
softwares on your PC, Even Microsoft warns you of that ,
“Unexpected PC crashes could damage or
even delete your files, so you should back
up everything. Some printers and other
hardware might not work, and some
software might not install or work
correctly, including antivirus or security
programs. You might also have trouble
connecting to home or corporate
networks.”
4. If you are a privacy advocate, you should be
knowing that your Windows 10 TP version use will be
closely monitored by Microsoft.
Well, a technical preview version is always made to do
so, monitoring every system it is on to gather useful
information on how to improve itself. but there are side
effects of it too. With new revelation coming every day
on how tech companies are monitoring you and sharing
those data with law agencies or ad networks, it may
not be a wise decision to go for Windows 10 TP. For
more information visit preview privacy statement from
Microsoft which states,
“When you acquire, install and use the
Programme software and services,
Microsoft collects information about your
use of the software and services as well as
about the devices and networks on which
they operate. Examples of data we may
collect include your name, email address,
preferences and interests; location,
browsing, search and file history; phone
call and SMS data; device configuration
and sensor data; voice, text and writing
input; and application usage.”
5. Reverting back is as usual, slow and boring process
of reinstalling your old version of Windows
Incase you get dissatisfied by the Windows 10 TP
version and is thinking of rolling back to your old
version of Windows you will have to go through the
process of reinstalling, recovery disc or USB recovery
drive.
While these are only very few reasons why choosing
the Windows 10 TP version is not a wise decision you
should also keep it in mind that Microsoft is not giving
all the features which it announced will be coming with
Windows 10 and for that you will have to wait for the
final version.
The user experience or System performance will be
different from a user to another depending upon his
hardware and software/ driver uses. so if it performs
well for your friend, it does not mean that you will get
the same experience using it on your PC.
