Windows 10 is stable on my SO's laptop, upgraded from Win7 Home, an older travel laptop, upgraded from Win7 Home, and a friend's Win 8.1 laptop I upgraded for her.
For the most part, the assumption every
other Windows release will be a decent one is accurate. WinXP was fine. Vista sucked. Win7 was good. Win8.1 sucked. Win10 has been generally good. There were some initial problems getting it to work, solved by turning
off a couple of default ways it was set up. (I had to turn off hybrid shutdown, and Write cache buffer flushing on the SSD. The former prevented it from properly shutting down/restarting, and the latter caused it to hang and require a power cycle when in use. Both defaults assumed Win10 was on a laptop where battery power was the scarce resource. This is a desktop, on 24/7, plugged into the wall.)
The current spate of problems are a recent occurrence, and I have no idea what triggered them. Things seem stable at the moment, but for a couple of days I was an unhappy camper indeed.
