Warfare Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Hi am thinking of Installing Windows10 x64. Should i stick to Windows 7 or is it ok to upgrade OS. For some reason it feels like some emulators run better on win 10 but there might be problems i am not aware of. Please leave your suggestions and Answers below.
majorspawn Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Win10 is fine, the direct x12 support is a plus, i haven't found 1 thing that didn't work with 10 so far My Arcade Projects: SNES PC Project Vewlix Cabinet LS-30 Rotary Joysticks
Antos Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 As far I am concerned, HyperSpinHQ is crashing, even under compatibility mode. But I have'nt encountered any problems with HS itself. HyperMarquee & Event Dispatch System

But I have'nt encountered any problems with HS itself. agreed, it crashes as well when you browse explorer however the workaround is to manually edit the .ini files with path to overcome this issue. Other than that and Windows defender blacklisting HS and HSHQ exe working fine. My Arcade Projects: SNES PC Project Vewlix Cabinet LS-30 Rotary Joysticks
Metalzoic Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I'd say 10 seems to work even better and smoother than 7 did. Plus you get the necessity of DX12 and the built in Game DVR.
j5coat Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I just upgraded my home PC( been working on the hyperspin setup on that one) everything still works great. I had a couple issues with programs( mostly dll files, running a k version no media player installed). Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
alcoatjez Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Anyone do a inplace upgrade? Run into any issues? I did and didn't have any problems. ...But I couldn't resist myself and did a clean install after a few weeks.
Metalzoic Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I just did the normal free upgrade on my cab and computer and both went flawlessly. The only program/file I had to read install was devcon which is something no one else probably even uses. You will need to re-exempt all your HS & RL files/folders in Windows Defender though.

alcoatjez Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 You will need to re-exempt all your HS & RL files/folders in Windows Defender though. Yep, I had to do this too. You will also need exemptions for Arcade PC games and I also have it set for my 'ROM Tools' directory. Defender is pretty picky about many programs.
Capt_Blackwood Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I've had W10x64 Pro since Nov '15 and so far, minimal issues. Don't remember needing to exempt any thing. But HyperHQ doesn't like it. Tends to crash on occasion. All I can say is give it a shot.
dnbcyan Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Upgraded first week it came out and it kept all my files, no problems whatsoever.
Warfare Posted June 27, 2016 Author Posted June 27, 2016 Ok thanks everyone Do You Think Developers at HyperSpin are going to fix the crashing of HyperHQ? Anyway thanks for the Answers, i am going to get windows 10 now. Thanks
Metalzoic Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Ok thanks everyone Do You Think Developers at HyperSpin are going to fix the crashing of HyperHQ? Anyway thanks for the Answers, i am going to get windows 10 now. Thanks No idea. It only crashes if you try to change a path. Everything else works fine, so just change path's manually and it's fine.
majorspawn Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 cut an image of your current hard drive before the upgrade just in case, it its flaky for you after the upgrade you can always restore back using image made. I use acronis with a bootable usb or cd and always have 2 full hdd backups for both of my HS builds. the free upgrade path from win 7 to 10 is valid until July 29, 2016.

dougan78 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 You all are giving me the courage to do my in place upgrade soon... will backup my win7 install first of course.
Agrajag Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I really need to get on with rebuilding my gaming PC and upgrading to W10 while it's still free. It's been out of action for a while as I haven't had time to find out why it keeps bluescreening. Then I moved the graphics card into my main PC so I could get my new 2560x1440 monitor to work.

Warfare Posted June 30, 2016 Author Posted June 30, 2016 Its like HyperSpin runs better on Win 10. You will run into small Problems but nothing Trouble Shooting Compatibility Cant Solve.

dougan78 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Yah I Recommend Upgrading, but Remember its Up to youI am going to clone my 500gb magnetic disk to a new 500gb ssd then upgrade on the ssd drive. I am taking no chances.
Metalzoic Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Pfft... Do it the manly way like I did. Just hit the upgrade button without backing nothing up or even closing other programs first. Computers work better when you show balls! Sent from my SM-G935V

ninja2bceen Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Are there any compatibility issues in general from Windows 7 to win 10? I have a amd card, graphics card is maybe 4 years old. Nothing special in general. Like it has a hard time playing dead rising for pc sort of thing. If my pc can't handle that game, do you think it will handle win 10?
