I reserved my copy... I figured what the hell, I'm on an extended vacation and have no gigs going for a couple weeks yet. Hopefully, it will go off without a hitch.... *crosses fingers*

I would love to know as well if anyone has early access copy of Win10 and it is playing well with Octane et al.

Hey bro, are you using m.2 as c:\? If so, how's that working for you (win install and performance etc). I plan to add one soon... just not sure about which drive it will be (c: drive is currently on one of my 840 EVOs, and seems plenty fast)... maybe I would do a partition for textures, HDR and cache etc - and the other as Steam drive partition... The m.2 speeds are ridiculous, from what I've read.

Yes, i׳m using the m.2 as windows partition. Windows running well and insanely fast, m.2 writes up to 2.2gb/s!
Only issue was In the installation, m.2 was not seen in boot menu. bios updated the bios and it booted (the bios was 1.2, new is 1.7)

I reserved my copy too, but I'm gonna wait before installing it.
I want to read about other users experiences first, because for sure there's gonna be problems, and since my current Windows 7 works perfectly, I don't really want to screw it up for no reason. ;)

WIn10 reserved on all machines - but I'll test on the non-critical surface before I risk the Mobile/Desktop. Read great reports though..

Just remember to deactivate all your authenticated software before the upgrade! win 8->8.1 broke several of my licence/activations last time.

Good point prehabitat. But surely i׳ll wait a bit before updating.

Regarding the m.2 speed. yes :) it׳s really really fast.
