Windows 10 ... Not even once

I think you have to clean install unless you've got an Acronis or something

Objectively it's faster and easier to use than 7 and it works perfectly on all 5 devices I have it on, ranging from a shitty i5 laptop with a teensy 4gb of ram, up to my AMD 9350 32Gb gaming rig with multiple grpahics cards. I had a couple of crashes until manufacturers had fixed their graphics drivers (in the first week or two) and since then 100% stability.

This is a normal post It is faster, yes.
It has some genuine drawbacks I've noticed...

Using the Win+Arrow shortcuts to move windows around has a habit of randomly not working after a while. Fix = restart.

Zombie processes seem to infest it. Force killing such processes via taskmgr doesn't work like it used to, and using taskkill /f might claim success but the process stays there and doesn't release file handles.

Alt-Tabbing between fullscreen applications results in black screens or crashed applications more often.

I have history as a Windows sysadmin so I like to think I'm not some meathead who can't reinstall a driver. After two hours I couldn't bear it any more and rolled back. Not worth the hassle.

There are two distinct places to administrate printers and one of them apparently requires TYPING IN A SEARCH BOX. They've learned nothing from Vista.
