Well, second time around with W10, first time in August lasted 5 days before a update put my computer in a repair loop. So far running great about 2 weeks now with just a few minor hiccups. Both times I trimmed the fluff, uninstalled most of the apps, went into the privacy settings and turned everything off including Cortana, went into system settings and turned everything off involving an app or Microsoft. Just a tip, if you can't uninstall an app in the start menu by left clicking on it, try Ccleaner, it will remove them.
