It has already downloaded onto my tower at home and I've tried to install it but it complains the recovery partition is too small and aborts pretty much right there on the starting line. So yeah, I could go in and reconfigure my partitions (and if you don't know what a barrel-of-monkeys kind of fun THAT is, I fear you haven't really lived) but what I fear will happen is that something will totally bork the MBR, a partition will fail, who knows what else... and I'll be left to re-install Win7 from disc, just so Win10 can download again (after spending my weekend updating and reconfiguring '7 of course) only to be told my recovery partition is too small to install '10... HA!
If Adobe ever decides to release Linux versions, it will be time to say, "Hellooooooooooooo Debian!!!"
....
As much as I HATE the way the interaction works with Mac, and I HATE how they don't get along with a good chunk of software regardless of what they say, and I HATE how Mac gouges people with their three times the price for the same hardware as a PC, but I have grown to HATE Microsoft and there intrusions even more.
First, we will deem as to whether software should be on your computer or not and remove what we deem as illegal. THANKS! I have some programs that seem to forget their registry every now and then and I simply re-activate. Won't have to worry about that anymore if Win 10 deems it to be illegally begotten software since it dropped its registry.
Second, force fed updates. Just like Adobe had their bad update - it happens. I chose to hold back so that things could be figured out. This bad update by Adobe could/may have been been brutal for some pro photographers trying to get a product delivered. For me, not a problem since I held back.
NOW we get force fed Win 10 sneaking it through a back door. Yes, I know, change settings so there are no auto updates, but I shouldn't have to be fighting Microsoft to keep control of my machine.
Sadly, it looks like I will be making the over-bloated price change to Mac's in my future computer purchases.
This so feels like deciding whether to shoot myself in the one side of the face with a 9mm or on the other side with a 380. Either way, I'm still shot in the face.

Me too!
Strange. I don't have a recovery partition, and it installed fine. I have one NTFS partition and 3 SDA (Linux) partitions, according to Gparted. Same here. (second bald letter quote). However I don't know if you could run NIK tools in Linux. (Yes ,I know about virtual machines, but I just don't like it.)

I didn't deliberately create a recovery partition, but I did migrate my install from platters to an SSD and I'm pretty sure that's when it got created. I've been tempted to use Partition Magic to just remove the recovery partition altogether and append the extra space to the primary partition. But then I think, "All that... Just for Win 10?" Then I open Photoshop, get some work done and life goes merrily on.
I really wish Linux would get the traction it needs so we could have REAL choices when it comes to our OS...

I finally download Win10 yesterday. I left it as late as possible so i'd hear of any problems with the system etc. No lost files that i know of, all pre-installed programs seem to work fine. Doesn't run faster, doesn't run slower. Find it very much like Win7 with a few tweaks tbh.
I won't be purchasing another windows machine with this overreaching by windows so I was browsing Apple machines last night... holy hell Apples rips people off charging three times the price for what are essentially PC parts inside.
I'm going to have to research how I can get a Mac OS on a PC. I know it was done for a time and Apple quickly sued and got that shut down.
