    Sup guys,

    today I read an article on winfuture http://winfuture.de/news,88160.html and one sentence there caught my attention.

    "Microsoft zufolge kann es außerdem vorkommen, dass Geräte mit einem bestimmten Fingerabdrucksensor des Herstellers AuthenTec diesen nach dem Upgrade auf Windows 10 nicht mehr unterstützen."
    which roughly translates that there is the possibility for some fingerprint devices from AuthenTec to not work properly anymore after upgrading to windows 10.
    Afaik there is a AuthenTec fingerprint in the p170em.
    Is anyone here a Windows Insider and has a p170em? :) Are there any problems with drivers?

    Regards
    Ajastor

    Is there some performance increase with win10 compared to win7?

    A subtle one. No Aero = less resource heavy. Less resource heavy = slight difference in performance.

    Was worried about the same thing as I have grown rather fond of logging in via fingerprint.

    Wanted to say thanks for posting the exact version number and flag this thread for when I do update. :)
