no it hasn't - I was replying to YOUR post and adding a sense of proportion to your claim of
driver issues .. ones the internet is loudly buzzing about, all over the place [/I] - which as a non-windows user you are doubtless an expert on.
[ FYI in many, many cases MS have provided their own compatible drivers, which are as good as or better than the manufacturer's originals, so there is no need to wait on the manufacturer getting around to it - if you followed the W10 forums you'd know that ]
A month ago there were over 14m users of W10 already, so it's probably safe to say that the driver issues affect 0.000001% or thereabouts

MOving on, I don't recall asking for your opinion anyway. If I needed advice on windows 10 you are so not on the list of folks I'd consult, and this is not the forum I would use.
As for on-topic, IMHO it is somewhat self defeating to be seeking good new software recommendations if locked into an OS (8.0 )that is now 2 generations back. I respect that is the OP's choice, but I would urge re-consideration of the upgrade risks sometime within the next year, if only so as not to waste a free $100 value upgrade key.
You can always roll back again once that is activated - MS register your hardware config so you can then clean install at any future date - the key is good for the lifetime of the machine.
PS this is appreciated:
