Cons: Well I had a bit of a problem with this one but I think my situation is unique to only a few people. I bought new components to rebuild my PC and the motherboard required Windows I was using Windows 7.
So I bought Windows 10 and installed it. I had to talk to Microsoft and let them take control over my PC to correct the problem.
It took much longer than it should have. Overall Review: Windows 10 is fine, but if you've made a lot of changes to your PC then I highly suggest that you skip the middleman Newegg and buy it directly from the Microsoft website as that way they have the proof of purchase and it will associate it with your Microsoft account.

My experiences with Win 10 on other systems was absolutely horrible like Me, Vista or Win 8. But I have some key programs that required Win 10 and it was time to bite the bullet. I set aside days, did backups and fully expected to end up doing a clean install and maybe end up reverting back. I even removed a few programs to make it easier on the software.
Wow, did I miss judge this. This was the best upgrade experience I ever had. The key programs transferred, all my browser stuff and a long list of very proprietary stuff transferred to, including an old game that runs in Dos-Box that I goof around with from time to time and my anti-virus Trend-Micro.
I could make a list, not very long, of stuff that didn't take perfectly. Like my Turbo-Tax needed me to enter my serial number again and I had a task bar on my second screen that I needed to turn off What I can see is it kept virtually all my customized system settings and I had a lot!
But wait there's more, my computer runs better now! Yes, not only was it easy it is better. But other than reinstalling things I removed this was done in a couple hours. I actually jumped on here today to write this, still shocked. For you geeks here is some of my basic system specs just to give you an idea. Win 7 Pro 64 to Win 10 Ver build My system always ran very good, fast and solid. And definitely has improved just can't believe it.
For those of you on the fence, just do it. All were related to my power controls and overclocking and were easily fixed. So this still continues to be relatively trouble free upgrade. All my programs that crossed the stream continue to run great.
