I'm also at three machines updated (two since reinstalled due to various juggling of hardware and new SSD and so forth.)
It was clunky at first with the HP Stream7 tablet, but has perked right back up with the TH2 release that came out in the last month. the Sandy Bridge 2600K box (vintage 2011) and the Skylake 6700K box (circa September) both absolutely fly with it. I mean, they'd have no excuse if they didn't.. but it's been pretty smooth going is my point :) Also finally having a home server which can use storage pools has been rather excellent for my data hoarding habits, amateurish as they are. previously the 2600K was my main machine and I had an Opteron 175 running Win7 as the home server, which CANNOT run Win8.1 or 10 64bit ! They use the "CompareExchange128" instruction, which apparently first generation x86-64 cpus don't have. That's probably been the biggest "huh what", but Win10 didn't instigate it, 8.1 did. Still, really annoying for Windows to go all the way through telling me all about this hot new update it was gonna give me and then https://www.dropbox.com/s/58bf7g446lwyn8d/opteronmasterrace.PNG?dl=0 Boohiss to that, but I can't groan too much about getting a decade of service out of a long suffering bit of silicon. It's now gone in the "Spares that are still useful for something but I'm not quite sure what" pile. I mean, it's still usefully fast... for something... just not necessarily for me.
