I just installed Windows 10 over Win 7 64bit.
It took hours to install. The prog is about 4 gig and it needs 9gb + to install so if your O/S drive is a bit tight, you need to make space.
It's given me about 6 gig of drive space back, probably due to removal of IE.
It's very buggy so far.
Date format is in the annoying USA month first format even though it says its UK and I can't change it due to another bug where open windows close on mouse hover and you get a common dll error.
It's done it's best to copy my Win 7 colour scheme of all black etc. and not give me the crud mobile phone style block look. This can be toggled.
The directory tree layout is a bit different with all sorts of crap MS think is important but I don't so I'll have to try and change that.
The task manager is more responsive and more friendlier than Win 7 with more info at hand.
IE is gone and replaced with something called Edge. It doesn't seem installed yet so I'll pass on that atm.
There's an annoying search box in the main toolbar which takes up too much space and needs to go. The sys tray is changed in format.
That's my first impressions.
