CountryBumkin:
The upgrade process has been fairly smooth, but the user experience isn't as good.
The biggest issues I've had (and others are having, per TenFourms site) is with networking. If you setup any Microsoft Accounts on your home computer(s) and try to network with Local Accounts - it doesn't generally work. In my case I had to switch all my computers to Local accounts to get them talking to each other. Even a HomeGroup in this case isn't working.
The other issue is with file/folder security. It seems that many of the file/folder permissions I am used to (with an Administrator account) has changed. Simply moving files around or deleting a file in many cases will often bring up the "you don't have permission" message. Going to the file's properties and adjusting security settings is the fix, but a lot of new Win10 users are posting with this issue and it should be happening. One forum poster said it appears to be related to OneDrive its sharing of folders/files.
I don't mind too much running into these problems as a first-implementer, but I think a lot of inexperienced users that jumped to upgrade will have a tougher time. I would recommend to those that do not like fixing things to wait for the first Service Pack to come out before upgrading to Win10.

Because I opted for a local account straight up and used the advice in some of the links above to disable background stuff like one drive, I've not had a problem (... so far). I'd expect that this minimalist approach will help avoid problems.
CountryBumkin:
That's the smart way to do it.
There is a "cumulative update" coming out today that is supposed to fix a bunch of things (although the exact list of fixes is unknown).
It's KB3081424.

Drivers are up to date. It has not crashed since I posted until I rebooted today after the update KB3081424. Hopefully, the Wi-Fi issues will be fixed as other users have reported the same problem. Nevertheless, I would recommend that anyone that has a critical device that is working fine wait until they work out more bugs. I just wanted to play around with it and use that machine to determine when I felt comfortable making the switch with other machines.

Wi-Fi has been a total nightmare on Windows 10 for me and other users. I *still* have to use wired ethernet because of that.
