Installed Windows 10. Upgraded instead of a fresh install, and it was fairly painless (had to remove my SEP install then installed a newer version afterword). Didn't have much time to look at the new start menu since Classic Shell almost immediately asked to configure itself for the new OS. No issues there.
First thing that bugged me: I wanted to turn on Cortana. I had to log into my Microsoft account for that, and it pretty much turned my local account into the MS account. Shit.
Edge browser though... First off, The options are sparse. TOO DAMN SPARSE! I had to use the registry editor to change my download location. What's worse, is that it doesn't give me any options for downloading (as opposed to simply opening) when I click a link to a file. It just immediately downloads it. I had to "import" my bookmarks from Internet Explorer, and it is impossible to rearrange them! It looks like you can, but when you close it and open it again, the order resets. If you create folders in your bookmarks and put bookmarks in the folders, THOSE you can rearrange. Setting which search engine to use is a PITA also. You have to go to google (e.g.) THEN go into "Advanced" settings to be able to add it, and even then, you can't manually type or edit it. In my case (appear to be in Japan when not using VPN), I NEED to add /ncr to my google link to prevent my results from coming back in Japanese!
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!

Why must learning a new browser be so infuriating?
