My new Win10 will shutdown properly, but hangs on reboot. Dunno quite what to do about it. The upgrade process seemed to go fine.
I also had trouble installing Office 2010 after it was upgraded. Had to de-select all the components & install just Excel first, then do a 'Program Change' to add the rest of the components of the suite. Otherwise even in 'Win7' compatibility mode it would fail to find the .msi's it extracted to the temp folder.
I really don't like the transparent taskbar, as the lettering's hard to read. I wish I could just turn off the 'Themes' service to get it back to Win98-style.
My Windows 10 installation fscked up my linux partitions that were on the same drive, and I was unable to repair tem... probably my own fault for not being careful, but very aggravating. The OS itself seems fairly smooth, though.
i upgraded Win 10 on my old laptop last night, guess what? Win 10 kept crashing and restarting after i logged in. i had to restore it to factory setting, reinstall all Win 8.1 updates and some software. fortunately i tried it on less used machine first...
Will never upgrade to Win 10 again till Win 8.1 is EOL.
Old laptop = Driver problems, and laptops tend to have a lot of them It's not necessarily something MS can do much about because a lot of those drivers are model-specific and if the OEM doesn't feel like updating it, you're SOL.
