FWIW, I'm only running Win10 in VMs (virtual machines); no "on the metal" installs. A bunch of my work buddies upgraded their Win7/Win8 workstations in-place and have had issues, mostly 3rd party compatibility and a few hangs. Even the clean installs have been occasionally troublesome. I prefer Win7, Linux, or macOS as the OS on the metal, and Win10 in a safe environment I can roll back simply by copying a file.

Then again, I'm not a gamer -- that pretty much requires a metal install on a screaming monster. Or so my daughter tells me. ;-)

If I get a Surface product the above won't apply, of course, but I'm not there yet. My trusty Fujitsu Lifebook continues to run Win7 flawlessly...

LOL...

I’m still ahead of my kids, but it’s only a matter of time.
