FYI to anyone installing Windows 10: there is a problem with Kingston PCIe SSD's.....

You need a firmware upgrade to make the install go smoothly, or you will go nuts. Trust me.

See here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-very-slow-install-kingston-hyperx/8f0dfe36-990b-426f-9d75-e0fb7f71a137

Firmware here: http://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/downloads?product=SHPM2280P2&filename=KSM_1005_5TM

If this applies to you or anyone you know, you'll thank me later!

I also don't like it when they disable and/or hide settings to tweak my system.

Sure, it can be if you want it to be, but the default is a desktop environment. All of the settings are readily at your fingertips. It's Windows 7 on steroids, and looks better, and definitely quicker. Trust me, I was really nervous about the upgrade, and I have to say, I'm very pleasantly surprised. I wish I had upgraded sooner (coming from 8.1).

All the settings are NOT at your fingertips. And it won't let you change Automatic Update settings.
The 4 Win 10 computers that people brought in were all upgraded from 7 or 8. Two did not work with half their software. One kept disconnecting on a WIRED network, one worked but the customer just didn't like it.
Out of the 4 when I reverted back to 7 or 8, 3 failed somewhere in the process and I had to reinstall from scratch. Thank god for Magical Jelly Bean so that I was able to recover the Office product keys before I started.
The last one reverted back to 7 but by the time I debugged all the glitches it would have been faster to reinstall from scratch.
