Couple minor issues:
Had to change my SSID to quit sharing my wifi with those it deems are “friends”.
Edge only works with unacceptable levels (for me) of UAC.

Did you change the SSID before or after updating? I am upgrading from 8.1.
Thanks

After in my case. Before is better. _optout_nomap at the end takes you out of this program and the Google network mapping one.

If you can’t turn off automatic updates, count me out.

I just switched to Windows 10 this morning ...so far so good. I loved Windows 7 and thankfully didn’t convert to the abomination of Windows 8. A few minor glitches,but everything else seems to be working fine.

IIRC sharing wifi is Off in W10 by default. It was addressed on Windows Weekly near the end but I had to cook dinner for mrs p6. I’ll check when they post the podcast.

Updates are not forced. Automatic updates is turned on by default but it can be disabled.

At first I was sure that had to be photoshopped. But then, no, that’s quite possibly Microsoft’s best effort at user friendly error message.

My 8.1 laptop upgraded this morning (2 hour upgrade) and so far I like it.

I'm really a Mac guy but have using a laptop with Windows 7 for a little over a year now. Upgraded to Windows 10 last night.
All went smoothly except for a brief scare where I lost all sound after the upgrade despite the speakers being set at 100%. A quick restart and I got my sound back.
So far I like it. All my old apps seem to be working including an old Adobe Photoshop CS2. Looks like Microsoft Essentials is gone and replaced by Defender. I'll have see if Malwarebytes and Defender play nice together. May have to change some settings in Malwarebytes if they dont.
Things seem to be working a bit faster too.
