I tried but is has failed a couple of times. With an operation tomorrow I have decided to sort it out when I have recovered opposed to having something that doesn't work properly when I'm not feeling well.
Yeah I don't get all the good talk about it. My start button etc stopped working and I had to restart to fix it which took 45 minutes... It then installed updates and seems to be fine. Preferred 8.1 even though it took some getting used to.
I got a bollocking from the wife for upgrading as it seems much worse than 8. It's a lot slower and I can't seem to right click on anything anymore. However it doesn't randomly change onto the menu screen thing which 8 always used to do and really annoy me
I had windows 10 installed over a week ago, kept crashing, had a windows tech spend over an hour sorting it out, and re-installing it. Still no good, kept losing internet, spent about 5 to 10 minutes just to get my browser page up. I have now had windows 8 re-installed and apart from losing some apps, everything seems OK. Before you have windows 10 installed wait for other opinions.
Who would install 10 when 10.1 will be along soon enough fixing all the pot holes MS engneers should of tested properly before 10 was released to a gullable public?
But then I am a dinosaur from the Land that begot Personal Computing!
Moved from 8.1 to 10........it's soooo sloooow. Loaded with lots of apps that need a lot of working out......new music player which tries to sell you stuff (poor man's iTunes) unlike windows media player.....still thinks it's a touch sensitive pad not a laptop....would love to go back to 7 but will have to make do with going back to 8.1.

I've had the same problem with the start button and other core Windows features becoming unresponsive. It hasn't happened for a few days now, so hopefully the latest update has fixed it (touch wood).
Overall though, I really like it. It's fast on my machine, much better integrated than 8.1, plus it looks modern and slick. Thumbs up from me.
I upgraded from 8.1 a few days ago. I liked it within seconds. Hated 8/8.1.
No glitches so far. I have a pc that was built locally for me. It was the best pc I ever had - (apart from 8.1) not had one second of crashes or driver problems.
All seems to be working fine. Of course they'll bring out 10.1 shortly but if you hate 8/8.1 why wait.
Right I must have been one of the first to get 10 after it came out of beta. Replacing 7. Using it on my now ancient laptop which has inadequate RAM. (Still using Linux on my even older desktop). Downloading was a pain. Needed three attempts before it succeeded. Since then it has generally behaved well and I'm now pleased with it. BUT I had to spend an age getting it to stop eating into both processor and RAM to such an extent that everything was grinding to a halt. It seems 10 still has issues inter-reacting with some other stuff. For example, the Hewlett Packard wireless assistant. It also wanted to seek out and upload all photos and other files to the so-called One drive. A session on task manager, disabling guff from the start up, like the aforementioned HPWA and finally it behaved itself. Generally seems quicker to boot up than 7 but that may be because of all the unneeded stuff I've disabled. I guess time and some updates will tell.

All ok so far, just a bit of familiarisation needed.
People keep saying how fast it is but in my opinion it seems to be slower than Windows 8.1.

Past its best now so changing to iMac as I have used a MacBook for all my business travel over last couple of years .
