I had a few minor teething problems with W10 (some documented in older CP threads), but nothing bad enough to consider going back to W7.

This week, I had to help a local charity who got stuck trying to access each other's PCs after upgrading to W10 from W7 as they had not set up homegroups. It turns out they every PC had defaulted a homegroup and you can only merged to one homegroup if there is only one other homegroup on the network. So, all other PCs had to be suspended (sleep mode) and brought up one at a time and added to the 'primary' homegroup before the next one could be woken up.

I'm connected in to my wife's W8.1 homegroup; but she is still waiting for her upgrade and is reluctant to force it as W8.1 updates fail every time on her laptop.

Despite the above, once it was up and running, W10 seems to me to be a significant improvement and I would not go back to W7 unless something dreadful happened.
