I did try to restore using the built-in backup/restore utility, and it
failed, due to some obscure drive letter difference. Having a usb drive
installed can foul it up, and I never did figure out exactly what the issue
was. Most 3rd party utilities are much smarter, with no such silly
rigidity. The official release of Win10 is very stable for me now, but I
was on the 'Fast ring' of builds for a while, which had serious bugs and
often failed to rollback properly, and a simple reliable full partition
recovery option was a godsend.
