Okay so there seems to be a TON of bugs and performance issues with win 10. Seeing as its been almost 5 days sense it's launch have most of the glaring bugs been squashed? I'm still on win 7 64bit but intend to upgrade as soon as win 10 actually functions and is gtg for gaming.

I haven't had any issues with Win10.

 

If anything it's better (Nvidia drivers are better now), not sure about AMD.

 

I had 2 minor issues when installing, both of which were my fault, and only happened because I didn't read something that was changed/ didn't install drivers before updating Windows.

Just remember: Random people on the internet ALWAYS know more than professionals, when someone's lying, AND can predict the future.

i7 9700K (5.2Ghz @1.2V); MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16GB 3200 CAS 16; H100i RGB Platinum; Samsung 970 Evo 1TB; Samsung 850 Evo 500GB; WD Black 3 TB; Phanteks 350x; Corsair RM19750w.

 

Laptop: Dell XPS 15 4K 9750H GTX 1650 16GB Ram 256GB SSD

Personally I'd wait a while, the VGA drivers haven't matured yet, some games(like GTA V) require files that just aren't present on W10, and there are some general glitches with W10 that could wreck a gaming session.

Windows isn't the issue, its the drivers. AMD drivers seem stable on 10, but I heard Nvidia is having problems with theirs.

I'd wait a decent month for microsoft to make use of their crowd sourced beta testing for it to really be ready for gaming since they fired their testing employees (cough cough barnacules)

For me GTA V is the only problem. It is very buggy. I didn't get more than 40 fps before on win7 but now it's even worse...

Same as all new OS major releases... wait at least 4-6 months for them to work out any bugs / exploits / compatibility issues...

There is no huge reasons to get it till there is a DX12 game you want available anyway.

You better hurry up because you only have a year to take up the free upgrade offer. Don't blink or you'll miss it.
