I upgraded a widows 7 and a windows 8 box on 7/30. I used Windows media creation tool to make 32 and 64 bit iso downloads.

Install was flawless and I turned off the WI FI sharing option.

Cortana works very well. It will open programs and apps when asked. It will bring up travel routes onthe map app using verbal requests. It will also transcribe email, very slick.

It’s Edge browser missing some options I use but can still use Internet Explorer and Firefox.

The new start menu works well. I use GodMode to access every setting on my machines.

"Cortana works very well. It will open programs and apps when asked. It will bring up travel routes onthe map app using verbal requests. It will also transcribe email, very slick."

Cortana also learns about you by collecting data about how you use your device and other Microsoft services, such as your music, alarm settings, whether the lock screen is on, what you view and purchase, your browse and Bing search history, and more.”

Lots of things can live in those two words “and more.” Also note that because Cortana analyzes speech data, Microsoft collects “your voice input, as well as your name and nickname, your recent calendar events and the names of people in your appointments, and information about your contacts including names and nicknames

We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to protect our customers or enforce the terms governing the use of the services.

I’m happy with 10 so far. No complaints.
