If you spend ~4mins. more per day sleeping it will make up for that extra day, unless you just want to get it out of the way now.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

It gets worse, Christmas and New Year are in weekends too... 
I'm starting to feel sick and it feels like I'll need a full year to recover...

installed. 
Seems ok; miss a few Win7 bits and bobs but not enough to revert. Took about an hour from start to finish and then I blatted Windows.old - no going back without a full install!
I both love and hate Edge. I love the clean interface though not noticed any great speed increase. However, I like to see all of my bookmarks pinned to the left. There appears to be no way to do this in Edge. The favorites sidebar is there but will not persist and can't be dragged. Shame - I'll stay with IE11 until they fix it.
I have noticed that start up seems slower than Win7 bit not really a big deal.
Overall, so far, so good. Now to put it on the laptop and see what happens!!!
Happy new year to you all.

Slower than Win7 ouch, I went to Win8.1 for the speed, seems like I'll still have to wait for SP#/Win10.1 until getting it.

Not for me. It's way faster than any other windows I've ever had. Boots very quickly. Logs in very quickly.

According to my findings it is slower on power on, but much faster in coming out of sleep...

Did you update from Win7/8 or a new installation?

Seems a bit faster to start than 7/8 for me too; although the before/after times are dominated by the mobo posting so it's almost a moot point.
I ran into two snags when I upgraded last week. I cleared both up the same day; but one was something that scuttled my initial 7 to 8 upgrade attempt. Issue 1 was just that my ethernet drivers didn't persist across the upgrade. A quick download via wifi and that was good to go.
The second was fun, I was getting the open with dialog pop up a few times an hour with the invalid path "C:\Program". A very late reply to a question I posted about a year ago on SuperUser[^] sent me on the right path. Although since the broken scheduled task wasn't on the list of invalid/obsolete ones I explicitly deleted I wonder if there's a cache hidden somewhere that's still got a trace of the bad one somewhere...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Wasn't it supposed to be more "lightweight" than Win7? How's the perceived speediness once it has started up in comparison to Win7?

What does your start up look like? I mean I have minimal start up services and it works faster than W7 for same set up.
For edge, everything looks so small. I am currently at 125% zoom (it should be 25% zoom, right?). Same is with chrome too.

About two weeks ago, I bought a new SSD for a 6 yo workstation and intended to stay with Win7. After putting a fresh copy of 7 on, it immediately asked for the upgrade to 10. I obliged, and now have 7 on the old drive and 10 on the new one. As far as I can tell, using the same license key on both works just fine and I can switch between the two with no problems...the best of both worlds!
