Ok, but with a DVD drive being accepted and ok for Windows 10 users, there is no need for any iso files. Since the drive is acceptable and has the drive files built in and ready to play, burn and whatever. If you're computer isn't unfortunately set then you will need to download iso files or a VLC player.
Almost at 500 reviews. At the rate things are going, it's going to be a short. Sorry, HK.
Incidentally, if anyone wants to get on board the hype train but their PC's still telling them it's 'preparing' your update, you can download the Microsoft media creation tool here.

Just don't blame me if your torrent client gets busted.

My laptop has a DVD drive and I read that the final version of W10 being released today, if your laptop has a DVD drive you should be fine. If you're using Windows media center you'll need an iso. It was noted that by some people the DVD drive wasn't recognized on W8, yet it worked/works just fine.
It's a Windows 8 shell at heart (just as W8 was a warmed over 7) but I'm interested in how drivers react.

In theory it should install just like a normal update (though I'm taking the option to burn an iso as well) but I know Nvidia at least has dedicated W10 drivers.

One's sitting on my desktop just in case.
It's only*

Probably not that much. According to many Windows 10 testers it's a very sturdy and reliable OS. Yes, as every other OS there may be some bugs, that's an obvious conclusion. But it's supposedly a well furbished version of Windows.

I though haven't got a notice yet on my laptop that it's ok to download as of yet, since it's going out in phases. It'sforonly 3 hours into the first day of its official release so you never know. I might download it first thing or set a date for it download in the near future. I'm deciding.
