Win 8.1 0r 10 preview

Marsden · 2015-02-06 15:01:08

I'm just about to reinstall OS on laptop and wouldn't mind getting the 10 preview. As I'm using laptop for android studio/eclipse would I be better with a more established OS. I want to be able to google the odd problem or two that might occur.

Both? Dual boot. Then when you want to upgrade either to full release 10 and wipe the other.

The upgrade path from the tech preview to the full version isnt too clear so I'd advise you to stick with 8.1 for the moment. Set up 10 in a virtual machine if you want to test it.
