Frick you, Microsoft and your Windows 10 trash

Brand new PC. Windows 8.1 worked great... booted up in about 5 seconds. Now it takes about a minute, and even then the apps and programs are slow appearing on the desktop and the start menu.
You just can't get anything right, can you?

Works great for me. Played an Xbox game on it today.

Tastes good to me

Other problems:
Chrome browser stops working with the touchscreen for some random reason at random times. As does the physical keyboard.
There should be a Desktop tile included on the Start Screen when in tablet mode because some of these 2in1 computers can act as both tablet and PC.
AVG AntiVirus 2015 no longer works and won't reinstall.
HP Printer app no longer works.

I like it. Went from Win 7 to 10 and everything works ok for me.

Windows 10 is phenomenal, sorry your PC sucks.

I haven't had any problems with the upgrade. I would recommend a reformat and re-install.

Went from Windows 7 to 10 and it works flawlessly for me.

Plenty of people in the upgrade thread are having issues. If that's a representative sample I'm waiting for at least next update.

Congratulations to everybody, seriously. Looking around the web and my problems seem common.

It's working great for me. Couldn't wait to get rid of Windows 8 and I am happy with my decision.

Yup

Windows 8 is basically like Windows Me. With Windows 10 being the equivalent of the fix that came with Windows XP.
Its really laughable that you say you want to keep 8.

Finally got my home PC to upgrade... had to d/l the upgrade with the microsoft tool, uninstall Avast, reboot, then run the upgrade setup as an administrator. Took about 45 minutes. Worked like a charm. Everything works... except it wanted to make my display too big, once I fixed that, it worked like a charm. Brother Print/scan/copy/fax thingy works, boot seemed a little slower, but I never turn it off, so I don't really care about that. Had to reset video preferences to use VLC for everything, but no biggie. All in all, I like it.

I actually liked 8.1. I can see, though, where 10 would be a much better choice for a PC without a touchscreen.
I already had Cortana on my Windows smartphone, and while it's great I use it there instead of on the PC.
As for my slow bootup problem, Steam (the game environment) was loading on startup... I disabled that and now it's much improved, though still a bit clunky.
So, I guess in a nutshell I would hope that Microsoft:
1- work with Google to iron out the Chrome browser kinks
2- provide a settings option to make the Start menu appear full screen while not in Tablet mode, or provide a Desktop Live Tile on the Start screen while in Tablet mode.
3- identify common vendors, such as Steam, HP, and AVG, to iron out the bootup slowdown and installation problems.
And, by the way, has anybody tried the new Edge browser's Read mode to read a Tigerdroppings thread? It seems to only display the very first post.

Windows ME was barely functional.
Windows 8 was really good minus the screwed up UI

I think one of the biggest upgrade problems has to do with anti-virus. That is the one common problem I have read about. I haven't seen many people complain of a slower system. Windows 10 killed my Kaspersky.
My system was already fast on 8.1 and it is even faster on 10. Also, the apps work MUCH MUCH MUCH better on 10 than 8.
On 8, even tiny apps like an egg timer seemed to take up lots of resources and they were slow. Not so anymore and now apps act like real programs.
10 is much better than 8.1 and it really isn't debatable. That isn't to say some people aren't experiencing problems. Guess what, when millions of people with different systems and millions of different programs upgrade, there is bound to be some hiccups.
Thankfully for me there were none other than the Kaspersky issue.
