I'd strongly suggest reading these two articles...

https://www.dailytimes.com.pk/foreign/01-Aug-2015/windows-10-spies-on-you-by-default

After 12 hours on a spare system, I've nuked W10 and went back to W7. It was bringing nothing that I was interested in while taking away quite a few things that I care about and/or like.

Obviously, YMMV.

The upgrade for me did not goes as well as it could. The Task bar did not look right and the Edge browser did not seem to be installed anywhere that I could find. I installed as an upgrade again and the Edge browser appeared, but the Task bar still did not look right.

I search, but could not fin much about the task bar issue. I installed a 3rd time, but this time without upgrading the programs, basically a clean install. This time all looked correct, but without any programs from Windows 8.

I did have a small issue with a Tapi driver with one VPN software, which I was able to fix.

The Start page and Windows "Apps" look a lot better then Windows 8.1, which I never liked. I'm sure as time goes by there will be many more issues that come up

Couple of programs acted differently for me on Win 10 (previously Win 7 Pro):

Avaya Element Manager shortcut lost its path.

My QuickBooks Pro 2010 worked ok, until it was time to print. Printing an invoice to paper worked ok. To print/save as a pdf, I had to be sure I started QuickBooks with "run as administrator".

I used an IT Firm to get one computer upgraded. It was really easy.

You mean all the CRAP that is on this page is gone? Those damn videos make my browser jump while I'm right in the middle of reading a post. Sucks

Here is a recent article at Forbes.

I tried the Edge browser when I got it with my Win 10 update, and gave it an honest try. But it just didn't do it for me, so I started using Firefox more than I ever had before. I have a Firefox shortcut that I use almost exclusively. I also have a Chrome shortcut for a few other sites. Not sticking up for MS here, but it hasn't been a problem for me to choose what browser I want to use, even though MS offers me Edge first.
