In the past few weeks i have upgraded 2x netbooks (1.6GHz Atom processor 2Gb RAM and a SSD) and our good laptop (2.5Ghz i5 processor 8Gb RAM and a SSD), Win 10 seems to be running fine on all.
I figured as you can roll back at any time it would be worth getting in when it was free.
Netbooks were on XP so they were a bit more of a fiddle, getting win 7 on them then upgrading to 10 i'd say speed wise on less powerful machines there is little in it between 7 and 10 but having commonality of operating system across all 3 for us will be handy. The good laptop seems much quicker on 10.

It's moot now cos you've done it, but you don't need to install W7 first if you're doing a "keep nothing" install. You can wipe it and stick W10 straight on so long as you've got a valid W7 licence key.
Oh boy here comes more fun. Man, I am beginning to regret this.
download the ISO version and install it from there
This is good advice.
I'm guessing that most folk are running the Home version, not the Pro, so how many will this affect?Oh boy here comes more fun. Man, I am beginning to regret this.
Don't know, but I don't want it and I suspect businesses don't either.
Lots of people running pro I suspect (me for example). The Home edition as I understand it never gave you the option to use the local group policy editor to remove some of the less desirable features, so there was no way of stopping the random installation of cruft. This just removes that option from pro as well.

You'll be getting it, so you might as well know what it contains!
