Just started the install on my gaming PC. Reading nothing but positive reviews so far so I really hope Microsoft hits a home run here.
I put it on my daughters laptop on day one. I have had every version of Windows since 2.11 and going from 7 to 10 was by far the easiest Windows upgrade I have ever done. It is the first time I have ever gone into device manager after a new OS install and did not see at least one yellow triangle.
I am trying my best to hold off for a few weeks before I put it on my gaming rig as I also use it for work.
I will probably be lucky if I make it to the end of the weekend.
There was a call on The Tech Guy about this yesterday. Maybe this will help you.I tried to upgrade from Win7.SP1 and had problems connecting to the internet after the upgrade. The OS doesn't even "see" the ethernet adapter, instead it shows a generic MS adapter that it says is operating normally... but it isn't connecting. Much googling later, I'm back on Win7 for now because none of the solutions offered worked for me. Even reverting to 7 I had problems connecting and had to do some very convoluted workarounds to restore what I had.
I'll probably try again and see if the Manufacturer's drivers will load and the OS will find the adapter once the right drivers are present. But after two days of back and forth, I need a brreak.
There's a Win10 driver available. My next attempt will be to download that to a USB stick, upgrade and load the drivers. Then see if it finds the associated hardware.@Monty sounds like the windows 7 drivers don't play fair with Windows 10. See if there is an updated version for Windows 8/8.1. Windows 10 uses the same base. I had a similar experience with my Bluetooth module in my laptop.
Their advice is to wait until MS says my copy is ready, mine did. It just didn't work when I did it. Then it suggests SlimDrivers, a program that goes out and gets missing drivers... That won't get the right ones in Win7 and I can't connect in Win10.There was a call on The Tech Guy about this yesterday. Maybe this will help you.

With the fan running all the time it sounds like you CPU is under constant load. Open task manager and see if you can confirm this. If that is the case you will want to narrow down what is causing it. The number 1 and number 2 culprits are software running in the background or a bad driver.My Taskbar didn't work after updating until I restarted the laptop. Besides that the update was easy. I like the layout much better than 8. Cortana is nice although it stopped giving me live sport scores a few days ago and I could never get it to look for things in my email.
But my laptop is running much louder, hotter, and the battery is going quicker. Those reasons are outweighing all the good and making me want to downgrade.
I haven't received one. It's very rare that I even got a BSOD on Windows 7 or 8/8.1. I've heard that they updated the BSOD screen to take it out of the 90s.Anyone have an issue with the WBSOD yet?
The culprit seems to be these two background processes:Search through your running processes and see if you can find the culprit.
