Just stuck the enterprise version on my shitty work computer.  Looking for driver updates for the built in GFX, but seems alright so far.  Smooth update from 8.1 from an iso on a shared drive.

I ended up having weird driver problems on my home machine that started causing bluescreens, so I just wiped and reinstalled Win 10 on my small Windows drive.  There were more setup options on a full install vs. an upgrade.

No problems on the work machine so far.   Old Core 2 Duo E8400 (which isn't a bad processor at all) with 4GBs of RAM pulled out of another machine, etc.  I did acquire and shove an SSD in here which helps a helluva lot vs the HDD that was in there and seemed to be failing, which reminds me:  I should put it in the mounting bracket so it isn't just hanging in there.  :P

E:  The different notification sounds still throw me off a little.  Heh.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I'm enjoying it. It's very shiny.

I am afeared, but maybe I shouldn't be? Computers keep bugging me about installing Win10.

I've been using it for several days now.

Overall, I am very pleased. It is noticeably faster, and the implementation seems to be a lot more clean than W7.

I've gone back to using Chrome from MS Edge though - Edge is actually pretty great, but there are just a few little niggling details that annoy me enough that I don't want to use it quite yet...

I'll wait a few months.

I put this on a tablet, replacing 8.1, seems to be an improvement. Though I do need to turn off most of the data slurping functions.

Updated my laptop. Went pretty smoothly. Also the start screen made me realize for the first time since I got Windows in 1993 that that four-squared Windows logo is...a Window. Awesome

But what's the deal with Cortana? No workie in Canada

That's pretty much it. Cortana is US/UK for now.

Since I upgraded, every now and then I hear a chime, but I've got no idea what it means :lol: It's not a new notification.
