Ok.  I got windows 10.  Nice OS , fast snappy and new and interesting ways to connect with xbox1.

So I tried streaming batman: arkham knight to my windows 10 intel i7-4500u cpu.  My first impressions is that it doesn't really run that well.  first time couldn't really connect, 2nd time connected, got really bad artifacts and video got choppy - and disconnected.

The xbox1 and ultrabook are both connected via Wi-Fi to an asus rt-n15 so not exactly the POS isp router. Just wondering if anyone has managed to get it working flawlessly?

The other thing I don't like is that while I can connect my xbox1 controller to the laptop with a micro usb cable, I need to manually resync it back to the xbox once its disconnected.  Maybe it's an excuse to get the elite controller when it comes out...

No I have not tried wiring up the xbox.  I wouldn't have thought that the streaming/internet access would take up that much bandwidth.  In any case, the mess of cables behind my A/V rack is putting me off from doing it..  Although it would be interesting to see someone else from the forums try it and report back here! 

The xbox is basically my tv/Netflix machine now as I have hardly any time for gaming so far it's technically impossible to stream a game onto my laptop while the wife is on Netflix.  The researchers at Microsoft need to work harder to fix that!

I think you guys are being a bit too obvious with the whole lan cable solution.  Yes it's probably the cheapest and easiest solution but for quite a lot of us lan cabling is impractical and messy.

After googling, turns out Microsoft actually gives quite a lot of useful advice about game streaming over Wi-Fi.

I'm also a bit disappointed that no one posting here appears to have tried to get xboxone streaming going.
