4 good reasons not to wait for Windows 10 to buy a new PC
If Windows 8 has disappointed some to its release, his successor is on course to reconcile the users with the latest Microsoft system. Windows 10 also a huge success in its test phase, evidenced by the testers million already committed, and the many topics discussed on our support forums.
So when approaching a time for shopping and a few months of the final output, it is legitimate to ask when considering buying a new PC or laptop: should we expect Windows 10 for this purchase?
We ask the question in a survey but some evidence suggests that it is better to ignore the arrival of Windows 10, here’s why.
1. It may be long
Many users are already concerned to know when will be the final release of Windows 10, as shown by the interest in our article that reveals the probable final release date. We talk indeed already many Windows 10, but it is far from over!
Several steps are needed before the finalization of the system and it is very unlikely to see the final version before landing the summer or fall of 2015. Are you willing to wait that long? If you need a new computer is that this is the time, so take advantage of current offers.
2. The requirements will not change
I see who are worried: “Yes, but my computer is not compatible, I could not use Windows 10?”. Wrong! We know from a Microsoft employee with a few words and through the first tests of the Preview version of Windows 10 will not be more greedy than Windows 7 and 8.
By collecting this information, so we know that a 1 GHz or faster processor will be required with 2 GB RAM, 20 GB disk space, and a graphics card compatible with DirectX 9. However, do not hesitate to take off for more comfort, who can do more can do less.
3. cheaply?
When you buy a Windows computer, you also pay the license. It is true that you may repay to install Windows 10 when it becomes available. This may be a reason to postpone the purchase until later. But there is a but.
Microsoft was seen consistently offered advantageous solutions with the release of its new systems. This was the case with Windows 7 and even Windows 8 was proposed less than 30 euros for owners of a Windows license. It should still be the case, especially for Windows users 8 or 8.1, rumors even speak of free for them.
4. We can already test Windows 10
Finally, if you have not been convinced by the reasons above, know that Microsoft has chosen to give voice to the users so as not to repeat the mistakes of Windows 8 and proposes a test version used by all.
If yours is too old, a new PC will allow you to test Windows 10 without delay. There are of course several solutions that will allow you to make the two systems coexist on your future new computer.
We could even add one more to that list because: it’s Christmas. And if our gift ideas gathered in a special Christmas page have not been able to make you happy, you know now that a new PC could sit under the tree a few days.
Please answer our poll on your final choice or ask for help in the Windows 10 forum once you have taken the plunge.
