It's more like 7 than 8 - which is good. You can make it look more like 8 if you want.
My biggest concern with W10 is all the sharing it does. Unless you carefully go in and change your privacy setting, it will basically record everything you do on the computer. That renders most of the new applications worthless, so I don't use them. Edge is one of them.
I had 2 problems on my installation - I had no sound for a while; had to go into Contol Panel and download (another) new driver. Also, when it sleeps, it won't recognize my USB wi-fi device when it wakes up. I have to unplug it and plug it back in - a PITA. I suppose I need to find the CD for it and reinstall the driver. It works fine when turning the computer on and off; the problem is only when it sleeps.
Biggest takeaway, though, especially if you share a computer - go through all the privacy settings and change most of them; if not all. Even still, assume there's a Microsoft robot looking over your shoulder the whole time you're using your computer.
On the plus side, it takes a lot less time to boot up, and is great for organizing all your files.
