possible since 10056 or so, atm there is NO switch for it. you have to do the following steps:

- remove all tiles via rightclick
- hover with the mouse on the right side of the menu -> you will see the doublearrow
- left click and hold to the left to downsize the menu
- have in mind: fullscreen startmenu isnt possible after that and adjusting the high of the menu neither

Well that's nice to know that they're keeping it. Thanks. And it also helps if you want a better space for it

Question is... Is there now , in the latest builds, an option to "Make icons smaller" in an OFFICIAL WAY, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE SYS REGISTRY ?

If so, is there a chance to show off how they look smaller with a screenshot?.. Also, can you still ,like in W7,draw programs to the Start Menu's top list ? (You know,top list = Favourite/Dragged apps, bottom list = Recently opened apps)

Also..Can you guys show me the colour palette for the Start Menu customization?

Things are starting to look goodie for now!..

Hi guys, I installed the latest build and I have no network connection available. The drivers installed fine, but no adapter shows in network connections. Any ideas?

issue:

Device PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_85051043&REV_09\4&45fb534&0&00AA requires further installation.

tried manually installing the win 8 driver no go. It doesnt let the driver install fully complete and times out

Aye, I don't worry about that, I just wipe and fresh install every time regardless Smile Only takes 5 mins Wink

Most are reporting this leaked build to much more stable than 10122, with lots of fixes.

Supposedly it's only an "upgrade", so you'd need to be on a qualifying OS beforehand, so Win7, Win8 or Win8.1

mh thats still not clear, but i dont think it would be a problem to provide a generic key for installation and after that you just activate it with your 7 ,8 or 8.1 key (just like it was possible to install 8.1 with the generic key and use your 8.0 to activate). and with a small reg entry it was possible to activate win 8 upgrade that way too

It will suck bigtime if I need to reinstall windows 8.1 everytime I wanna reinstall W10.

yep, wasting bandwidth and time if you have to install 8.1 fresh and dl the 10 upgrade via windows update etc and you will always have trash data left on your pc (windows cleanup stuff of old files isnt that precise).

At the moment, a win 8.1 -> 10 upgrade takes what might be classed as a very reasonable amount of time - YMMV depending on how much crap you have currently installed Laughing but it took not very long at all for me - on SSD of course.

Gah, you guys are really tempting me to switch over to 10 from 7. Very Happy

I will definitely switch over as soon as it's released (and kmsloader of course Cool Face ), but is it worth it to upgrade right now?

Depends.

I would say yes, if you have all your important stuff on other drives, and have your main system disk on SSD, so, wipe and go, repeat and rinse, if needed Very Happy, it really takes no time at all.

I find it pretty stable, with the odd annoyance here and there, but overall its quite a neat OS. Then again, I have been running 8.11 for a while, so I'm used to things annoying me Razz

I will say though, for gaming, its the way to go, and if Nvidia can get the right driver set out, I think it may just be the best for doing so.

I would also say no, if you cant be assed with any of the above, and just wait for RTM Wink

not real news Wink

think im gonna stay on 8.1 till mobile 10 is out. or maybe it runs good in a vm i upgrade earlier, but in the latest public versions there were too much bugs left. its gonna be hard for them to fix everything in less than two months (and yes ofc internal builds are much further advanced than the public shiat)
