DirectX 12 is the thing that is going to push anybody who games to Win10.

Quite right. The only real reason I wanted to upgrade from 7.

I'm at 100% and recommended resolution of 1920 x 1200. The launcher works, but the game crashes when I open either an online arena or offline practice.  As a side note, I can run the Alpha for the new version of the game.

So I "reserved my copy" way back when, but haven't gotten the option to actually download this thing. How are you all downloading Win10?

You can manually download W10 and upgrade.

Chrome is a web browser. Works fine with Vista. Personally I prefer Firefox. Both are safer than IE.

Go with Firefox. Chrome is an intrusive menace that takes over everything, has a number of severe security flaws, never stops running even when it's closed, oh and it treats EVERY TAB like a separate instance of the program (and the DON'T CLOSE in Task Manager even if you close the tab).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

In the history of Microsoft, they have never had an operating system update, which did not have the ability to make a mess of a computer.

Just saying.

Never, ever do a Microsoft OS upgrade until they put out at least one Service Pack.   A lesson learned from 25 years in the IT business folks.

There will be no service packs for W10. They're also dropping Patch Tuesday. W10 will be continuously updated as updates become available.
