So I have windows 10 on 2 PC's at home right now. I had some initial problems with re setting up my homegroup network after installing and the Nvidia drivers for windows 10, but I already talked about and resolved those.
For the most part it's been smooth sailing expect with two things. My wife's computer occasionally gets the "Critical Error: Cortana and Start Menu aren't working correctly together" error window when booting up. Problem is the system doesn't allow much user input when this happens. All the error window allows you to do just restart and get the error again. I can bring up task manager and then run apps from there though. We've encountered this error with her PC several times, and the software on her's and mine pc is basically the same. Research has led me to believe there is possibly a corruption problem with her login account. What I've done to fix thus far is just disable and re-enable anti virus. Disabling anti virus allows her to boot in fully, and re-enabling it doesn't automatically at least force the error to happen again when rebooting. But it has come up about 3 times now after various restarts. It's a bit annoying.
The other issue I've personally had is the preview window pane. When hovering over an application in the start bar at the bottom (default place) of the screen the preview pane for the application pops up. Problem for me is that it doesn't always go away when I mouse away. It's annoying when it happens and takes opening and minimizing some windows to finally get it to remember to auto close.
Otherwise it hasn't been much different than what I experienced with windows 8 and 8.1.
