    I'm a cranky old lady constantly telling people to get off my lawn about their fucking "upgrades" but 10 is great. Once you neuter popup notifications entirely. And disable the search menu from going on the internet.

    I prefer win7 currently. If you like 7 I'd say stick with it.
    If you're on 8 or 8.1, definitely worth the upgrade.
    I installed the win10 upgrade within the first 24 hours of it going live. I was plagued with bluescreens after the first week.
    The main problem with it i see for most people is lack of control over the automatic updates. Imagine it deciding to download updates when you're in the middle of a wow session. Watch your latency skyrocket if you don't have decent internet.
    10 should have better graphical performance. I plan to be on it hopefully for legion levelling. 5x 2560x1600 res windows is graphically very demanding.

    I definitely had some issues with the upgrade to win10 until NVidia got the new drivers sorted out. Since then, I've had no issues with it. I've got my windows updates set to download and notify me when ready to install and I've yet to see anything odd with that. Then again, you'd probably never notice except for patch tuesdays [edit] unless you're on dial-up or satellite.

    I have no truck recommending Win10 to friends and family now that I've been on it a few months.
    Now playing: WoW (Garona)
