Yeah, it is a complete mess, and very counter-intuitive. It can luckily be learned, unlike some of the other flaws. Really, the CPU demand alone kills my desire to bother with it. Why get an OS that will push my CPU more if I am not getting anything out of it? Windows 8.1 is a small but convenient fix for Windows 7. Windows 10 pretty much takes those fixes and then makes the entire thing a mess.

Updates are a complete joke. I get the whole security vulnerability thing, but it is just getting crazy, and it feels like new updates just expose new vulnerabilities which require more updates. Read about Windows 10, the technical aspects. It is a complete mess under the hood. Say what you will about Windows 8.1, it at least was an intentional and consistent vision, one which was a flawed concept but can be easily fixed. Windows 10 still has that flawed concept, plus plenty more fiascos.

Definitely keep me informed. The place I work has people still on Windows 7 for the most part. The project managers have updated to Windows 10. Both of them suffer constant headaches with their computers, while mine works just fine while being far inferior in specs. That might suggest I handle my computer better, but it is also likely that Windows 10 just is less stable.

Every experience with Windows 10 and me showed a lack of smoothness. It was a headache to touch, every time I tried bothering. I assume it is just the out-of-box Windows experience, Windows 8.1 is much the same until you customize it. You really want some time to devote to just setting up the OS the way you want after installation.
