I disabled every single "personalization" feature (translation: give Microsoft unfettered access to your data so they can sell it and use it to profile you, then sell those profiles too) and what I have is...

Windows 7.

Just slightly faster with a slightly nicer interface.

The attempts to coerce you into whoring yourself out to Big Data during the install are shameless and frequent during setup. My $0.02? Don't bother. Unless you like spam and being profiled.
My laptop came with windows 8 so 10 is actually an upgrade. But yeah, it's basically 7 with a new name and a load of spyware.
