Upgraded to win 10 on one of my two laptops.
As usual, the main really (!!!) annoying annoyances, which progressively get worse with each successive version of windows, are:
- increasingly finicky about what software it will run and won't run.
- progressively worse backward-compatibility with legacy software
- the ever-increasing multitude of background-processes and programs running in the background without the knowledge of the user, 'hidden' hogs of bandwidth that use your precious data allowance when you are online, secret reportings of information back to Microsoft and to other entities on the internet, etc.
You can turn off most of the privacy-busting features, and most of the 'reporting back' features and most of the "hidden background thingies that use CPU & Memory & Bandwidth resources" using readily available fixes on the internet.
However, the problem of Window's 10 inability to run a lot of early-2000s software is nearly impossible to overcome without resorting to nerdy and untidy partial solutions like running a virtual Windows XP operating system. This is why one of my machines is still running Windows 7.
