The question is in the title really, I would like to try windows 10 and have the icon sitting pretty in the tray but I am afraid if I don't like it or I have incompatibility issues that I will not be able to revert back to my current OS.

My PC is quite a high spec gaming rig and I'm not sure if my games will run properly after the 'upgrade' either (and no I don't have any pirated games). I run most games from Steam or Ubisoft, I have spoken to a couple of mates who haven't had issues with RPG games such as World of Warcraft, Dota etc. but I tend to play more graphically intense FPS games on Ultra if I can get away with it.

So will it work, and if not can I revert back?

yep, i did just fine. no major issues. win10 sucks. it's free for a reason. so they can spy on you.

plus the stupid search features stopped working when i denied sending data to use the stupid seärch functio.

Mine didn't. Of course, if you logged on with an MS account, and then told it not to use that...it will fail.

My Win 10 boxes, with no MS accounts, search the local machine just fine. Search the wider internet? Google or yahoo or bing or whatever.

Tried and have been stuck on a message
"Revert to previous build"
A little revolving circle "Restarting"
It has been stuck here for the last 24 hours.
DAMN YOU MICROSOFT.

I had given up hope and had just found my original installation disc and was ready to bite the bullet.I turned the pc off and "voila" it behaved just as you have said so that now I am very happy!
Thanks a lot.
