The upgrade from 8.1 to 10, just gave upgrade and left the table, when I was back after a couple of hours everything was done and completed.
- I had to reinstall my nVidia Drivers
- I had to authorize iTunes again making this a new computer, but my library was intact.
- Regarding sound quality - I believe there seems to be an improvement over the digital out. I have a Xonar Essence sound card, using the digital coax out to the DAC, there seems to be an improvement in the gain levels. But recently I had changed the RCA cable from the DAC to Amp, so don't know which part is improving the experience.
- The regular apps I use seem to work fine.
- had to reinstall Java
- the new browser EDGE from MS does not support Java
- Control panel is a bit confusing now, still haven't found time to explore the full potential of the OS.
- regarding speed, I have it installed on a SSD so really cant make any difference.
