So, finally I have installed Windows 10 in my Desktop. I got a copy of Windows 10 Enterprise from my office without a key. Which I installed into a UBS. It was bit older version so I downloaded resent one online too, the version 20H1. It's a ISO from guy I download stuff for long time. That Also without a key. I'm using Evaluation method which gives me 180 days. UBS version didn't work so I had to use the later burnt into a DVD. I don't think you can Burn Windows 10 ISO into a DVD after the update 20H2.
Anyway, installation part was easier than I imagined. I forgot to mentioned I did updated BIOS to the latest. I'm using a motherboard released 7 years ago and a Core i5-3550 processor which also probably same age. I think Windows 10 Handles drivers lot better than Windows 7. I installed chip-set drivers from Gigabyte site but rest picked up by Windows it self. I had to find a Monitor driver my self to get optimum result but this time it was taken care of. Also I think sounds works better than in Windows 7 so I didn't bother installing drivers from the site.
I don't see a huge difference in Speed but good it. After all I think I'm getting the best i can get from these old hardware. Something I have noticed is Windows 10 does memory management so much better than in Windows 7. Maybe it's too early to say so but that how it looks. Also I like how Task Manager works in this. Firefox was bit slow at begin but after updating from 20H1 to 20h2, it seems working faster. Well, I heard many say Windows 10 boots faster but I haven't noticed that. Maybe its also because of my old hardware. I think it takes same time as Windows 7.
Telemetry features are disabled and I'm gonna keep an eye on Bandwidth usage for a while. This is what worries me the most since I have Limited bandwidth.
