My laptop boots almost instantly.

Congrats!  What I really want is Win10 to be like Win7 with just shorter startup time. 
Btw, SSD or HDD?

Main OS on SSD, all data on high efficiency virtually-instant-startup screaming fast HDD. Even after the HDD has spun down, I don't notice any delay in accessing it.

Great minds thinking alike! I have similar config on my desktop running Win7 and boot time is within 5...10 sec (not bad at all). Betcha it could be even better in Win10.

Windows 8.1 booted in about the same amount of time, but Win10 is much faster at running programs and seems to be a lot more stable, which is a bit of a surprise, considering Microsoft's tendency to release such buggy products.

An old man went to his teenaged grandson's bedroom.
He said; "You spend all your time up here playing computer games. You should be out there, living life, seeing things, doing things, finding out what life is all about.
When I was your age, when I was 18, I went to Paris. I went to the Moulin Rouge. I drank all the booze and refused to pay for it. I took all the women and I beat up the bar man. That's what life is all about. Having adventures."
He went back a few days later and the boy is sitting there with his arm in a sling and a black eye.
"What happened?," asked the old man.
"Well, I went to Paris. I went to the Moulin Rouge. I drank all the booze and refused to pay for it.I took all the women, then three bar men beat me up and threw me out."
"Oh," said the old man. "I'm sorry to hear the, who did you go with?"
"I went with me mates. Who did you go with?"
"The sixth panzer division."

Tall tales, grandpa. The sixth division never was anywhere near Paris.

Rolled mine back to 8.1 after two days of trying to get it to work.
Sad that it wouldn't install Visual Studio 2015 without errors. Errors that led to a few hours of continuous automatic repairs that repaired nothing.
I did, however, finally get VS, Vegas, SoundForge and Sonar installed. No idea how.
And then noticed there was a lag between any mouse click and the expected action.
Might be my fault, of course. I didn't check the system requirements. Maybe it needs more than 16 gb of ram and a few terabytes of hard drive. I'm sure the i7 processor is just too feeble for it, too.

I have 24 GB RAM and a quad-core (8 logical cores) i7 CPU. I notice no delays in mouse clicks or movements, nor any error installing or uninstalling anything.
I have had no issues whatsoever, even the initial upgrade went smoothly (and took less than 30 minutes to fully complete!).

What was the price of your 10 update ?
I'm still on 7.
Should I bypass 8 ?

No, you should be made to suffer, like the rest of us...

My Win10 cost me nothing. Or cost me the same teeny percentage of my income tax as it did yours. :p
Free, for practical purposes. And worth every penny.

As a follow-Up with respect to THIS[^] earlier thread, I bought the Sharp Aquos[^] based on price, looks, a few specs, and the two big ones: it's an Android and it's on Sprint.
Now for the consumer alert.
I put an SD card into this phone.
In order to view the files on that card, I must first get google's permission
^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
I mean, I have to download an app from google that will allow me to access those files.
Somebody please tell me that I'm wrong, and that they guy at the store who told me that was misguided.

According to this[^] there is no preinstalled file manager. You can download one from an App Store.
What the guy likely meant that you need to get one from Google Play (or another app store, like Amazons'), not that is has to be from Google.

Thank you.
A lot
Now I see that I have voice mail telling me that I am automatically enrolled in a "free" 30 day "trial" of a product and service that I don't want.
I have some questions for Sprint tech support tomorrow morning.
I hope I haven't made a mistake.
Bright point: The audio quality of this thing is very good.
So, they annoy the customer (to an extreme) with a "free trial offer", while the audio quality is very good.

Oh gorgeous, you can't change the battery.
It's permanently embedded.
The other smart phones on their webpage warned you about this in advance.
Please tell me I'm wrong here also.

When did you last change the battery instead of the whole phone? 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
