Okay I upgraded last possible moment and so far so good. Nothing traumatic so far like with Windows 8.1 :)

Upgrade done.  I had to uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection because it is an older version, and my subscription lapsed.  Windows Defender - is it good enough alone?

Yes I think so. I've been using it for a couple years, haven't had any issues

get Avast or AVG Free, or Panda free.

Anyone notice that the PC takes longer to load up after a shut down than before the new patch?

It's been exactly the opposite for me.  What are your system specs?

Latest patch nearly nuked my computer. Had to hard reset several times. Now checking my HD to see if it's okay.

So last night I clicked on shut down and update as I usually do because why not, now I know why not. Apparently this time its a huge patch, at 17% after 30 minutes. :bleeding:

It gained a little speed towards the end and I'm in again. Greeted by 5-6 error messages: "There was a problem with .html files so we resat the standard programme for these files to Edge", and same with other windows programmes. :lol:

Also, it re-enabled all ads, some privacy settings and re-installed Get Office. :bleeding:

My computer patched Windows 10 in my sleep.  I haven't noticed any differences or problems.

Also re-installed "Skype Preview" and then after I deleted it again it installed it again and logged in with my windows login.  :glare:

It also left my custom Russian keyboard input unusable. :(

And the Keyboard Creator doesn't work for Windows 10. :mad:

Fuck this shit.

Mine updated quite quickly when I turned it on one day, maybe 30 minutes or so.
So far no issues...though it has turned that useless Cortana back on.

I immediately disabled that. I don't have a microphone on my desktop.

I have noticed, I guess it indexes, that it is much faster going to various folders on my PC.

In keeping with my decision to focus my comp sci job-seeking efforts toward computer security, I finally updated the Win 7 desktop to Win 10 last night.  Night and day.
