Overwhelmingly positive.

Upgrade.

I've been using for a few weeks with my new home PC and I like it.
I'm transitioning from 7 and haven't had any issues with any sort of learning curve yet.

I'm a Windows user back to 3.1, and I even have some DOS experience.
3.1 was revolutionary, in that Microsoft did a decent job in capturing what made Apple so attractive for casual users. Windows 95 was "okay" - but there was a learning curve. 98 was fine once they got to SE. ME was a disaster (and 8/8.1 was very nearly one as well). Once they merged the NT kernel (which was pretty solid, I used NT and Windows 2000 workstations in a corporate setting) into the consumer line, we got XP - Microsoft's first truly world class OS, particularly XP professional. I got a lot of years out of XP, probably 6 or 7 - and in fact, I was able to go from 2001 through late 2015 with just XP and Windows 7 on my own computers.
I expect Windows 10 to be the next one along those lines, probably until 2021 or 2022.

I like it. My only complaint is that the App store and none of the built in apps work.

Two thumbs up. Had a Dell and Toshiba laptop upgrade online from Win7 without any problems. Win10 seems to run smoother and right-clicking to access many features seems more intuitive MHO.
Received some help here about upgrading a home desktop this weekend from XP to Win10.

Vast majority of folks like it.
The folks who don't had upgrade issues thus their reason to dislike it but most folks had no problem with the upgrade.
I had two minor hiccups.
Once installation was done, it appeared my video drive didn't carry over. It actually did but even though Windows said installation was done, I needed to reboot one more time.
Also, they changed security somewhat so some anti-virus programs were not compatible. My Kaspersky did not work and I didn't realize it was no longer running for about 2 weeks.
Once I noticed it didn't run anymore, I checked the kaspersky site and they were offering a free upgrade to the compatible version.
That's it. Haven't had a single blue screen, crash or hiccup since.
Well, not one caused by Windows. I had some problems with Kaspersky blocking too many things they didn't need to block which caused some boot problems, but that wasn't Windows 10's fault.

7 > 10 > 8.x

Wrong. 7 isn't remotely in the same class as 7 and 7 was great.
10 can do everything 7 did and it does it faster and safer.

I would definitely argue other wise. Not only is 7 in the same class as 7, it's actually the same as 7 completely.
