So initially mine failed 4 or 5 times in windows update which i then found out was due to Mcafee so uninstalled that but also deleted my download folders contents to be doubly sure and it downloaded fine. Whole thing came down in around 20 mins, installed itself and then felt like it was running in tar, couldnt seem to get the start menu to pop up, if i clicked an icon it took 2-3 mins to actually respond, i started to curse MS.
Then i rebooted and everything was perfect, the OS is super fast to respond, slick (save for the start menu that i dont personally like but it works so hey..) and all of my Win7 stuff still runs. The only other probem i came up against was the NVidea driver set, i downloaded the win10 set, tried to uninstall the old ones but it kept failing, i then tried to install the new ones on top but that failed too, in the end i uninstalled the graphics card, told the machine to search for new hardware and within seconds it pulled the new drivers in and set up the card using the recommened settings.
Not bad so far, seems like they spent a lot of time getting it right, feels like they took the best of win7 and 8 and fused them together, i haven't had a chance to use Cortana or any the Xbox stuff thats built in but seems super easy to use so far. I didnt know about that wifi stuff but i'm wired in because playing games on wifi would drive me nuts.
