We do have a feedback thread here http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2402233.

However everybody has different opinions as you can imagine.

I've done two upgrades from 8.1 with no issues so all very stable, in fact not had a single crash yet in a month, all the games I tested run great, no drivers issues so have to say has been great for me.

My brother did Win7 to 10 upgrade on his Lenovo laptop, he had no issues either and is quite happy with it.

Both were upgrades to Win10 Pro x64.


As to is it worth upgrading?...We can give you reasons why ie free upgrade, much longer life span then Win7, more features , improved security, DX12 etc...

But only you can decide if it is worth it.

There are several threads here about Windows 10 if you look around. Some people like it, some people don't. It is free, and it works, and it should be longer before support goes away, so there are good reasons to capture the free upgrade.

Performance-wise it's great. Being a free upgrade, however, seems to come at the cost of certain in-app purchases (avoidable, so far) and a lack of straightforward methods for fully disabling telemetry (potentially a big worry, though YMMV).

tried it on both my Dell laptop and Dell 8700 series i7 desktop and had problems with both. Restored back to orig.config. Won't try win 10 again until I need a new computer designed around it.
