Unlike all the other OSes, still no built-in USB 2.0 Audio support (much to the consternation of DAC manufacturers everywhere).

I installed Windows 10 on a non-critical laptop to test it out.  I disabled all of the terrible privacy issues.  I have had problems with Wi-Fi randomly crashing such that the laptop requires a reboot.  I followed some guides to tweak the Wi-Fi and it has improved, but it still crashes randomly, albeit less frequently.  I definitely will wait to install on my more critical machines.  Thus, my conclusion is not ready for prime time, but could have potential.  I think their default choices are awful and non-savvy users will get screwed, but I also realize information is money as they have learned from Google.

Or to paraphrase the acronym that Robert Heinlein wrote a book around, TANSTAAFL.

Dd you try updating the driver for your Wi-Fi?

I just finished installing Win 10 on 6 computers this past week, all with different hardware, etc. All 6 went flawlessly with no problems. I also run JRiver MC on 3 of them and after a reinstall as Jim suggested, all 3 MC installations work just like under Win8.1. This has been the best windows upgrade Microsoft has ever done -I salute them. Privacy issues are a fact of life with every thing we say or do these days. Just my two cents worth.
