It seems to be fashionable on this site and many others to bash every new release of Windows. I can only speak for myself and my family and friends but, not one of us has ever experienced a single adverse result from upgrading from one version to another. Ever. Not one patch or update has resulted in a single adverse issue with any PC we have owned.
Granted, we do not keep our PC’s for a decade or more. We all regularly upgrade to new PC’s about every 3-4 years.

I have never had a problem either. They must be doing something wrong.

Me neither, well, maybe since Windows XP and excluding OS changes like "Metro," while upgrading to new PC’s about every 3-4 years certainly helps. As does customization. As shown in post 4, I replace the Windows start menu with Open Shell, and the clock, and create my own Quick launch menu folder (the default is buried in %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch), and have my own drive and folders for Music, Documents, Pictures, while turning off Cortana, Windows Search, Xbox, etc.

Same here. My rule-of-thumb was always to assume double the recommended memory & storage requirements. I did that and never a problem.
