The Win10 install went off w/o a hitch on two PC's;Turned off all the locator and phone home stuff and using a local account. I don't sync anything either. Actually, the thing is pretty speedy booting up/shutting down and I've had no issues whatsoever with the games I have on my PC. They all run very well. The only thing that gave me a real headache was my Saitek Cyborg keyboard that I was able to fix. Maybe I'm the party of one here, an OS is an OS is an OS. It runs when I turn it on, doesn't BSOD me and it's just Win7/8/8.1 in a little fancier dress. Diane PS I wish there was more chatter here
