Did you have any issues initially? Did you check event viewer? For all you know, this could be hardware related.

I have been using it since day 1 of the beta as my primary OS. I get the occasional hiccup here and there, but no more than any other version of windows I have run. No games cause BSOD's for me unless its something I did (messed with game files or push my OC too far.) I really like the OS as a whole from a functional standpoint. The privacy concerns are a bit scary (ie. it defaults to sharing your wifi passwords with contacts, automatically connecting to open hotspots, basically being a keylogger, etc.) but most of these can be disabled for the most part. Some people really care about the privacy issues, but the way I see it is that google already knows everything I do online, and truthfully I have more faith with my personal info in Microsoft's hands than googles. (just my personal opinion though)

First experience with Windows X was some in-class demos. At the time I was running Windows 8.1 and thought Windows 10 was pretty cool/interesting, other than the tracking that I had heard about and etc.

 

When I finally installed it at home, I had no issues, and it's done good for me. My Thinkpad x220 did end up borking itself due to the Windows 10 automatic upgrade, but a clean install fixed it.

As you'll hear a lot of people say. Upgrading alone isn't the best solution if that's what you did. It keeps plenty of garbage. You need at least a Reset, or at best a clean install using a W10 image off Microsoft.

I installed an evaluation version on this computer.  It's a shame all that spyware comes with it.  The makers of spybot make a program to disable all that crap.  It's pretty bad when a spyware removing company has to make a program to remove it from the base operating system.
Also - I hope they get sued for not having a complete uninstall option for cortana.  I want it all gone.

 

It's really a shame they put so much crap in it.  It's a pretty nice OS.

Been using it since the tech preview, no random BSOD's that werent my fault.

Everything has gone smooth with 10 so far here. It even managed to install the proper driver for my old phone so I could flash a stock rom and make it usable again! (Win7/8 failed to do so)

Most of the spying tricks can be disabled. Haven't you seen barnacules nerdgasm's video?

I only turned Cortana off, haven't touched anything else. Couldn't care less about those privacy shenanigans.

What was leaked, my BSOD's where the OS Is not at fault?

[SageOfSpice]

Well, after I got rid of all the stuff I didn't want like all the apps, and cortana and crap, It's pretty much just an updated Win 7.

 

Having some strange latency issues at the moment, but I should EVENTUALLY figure that out.
