You early adopters have superheroic patience from my perspective.
...wasn't entirely voluntary... i migrated from win7 do 8 because i had to, to be able to dev and deploy apps to win8 phones. then i migrated to 8.1 to be able to dev and deploy to WP8.1 + W8.1 (metro universal apps).
then I found out win8.1 is kinda shittier than 8, performance-wise, after some months of use, which was about the time when win10 dev preview went out, so I was like "can't go back to 8 because dev reasons, let's try 10, and in the worst case i'll go back to 8.1, at least it'll be a fresh install running nicely, for a while".
so i installed 10, and... yeah, has some issues, naturally (i've seen someone ranting about the start menu being a separate app, therefore sometimes it doesn't open, or it takes a while, i agree with that), but overall it runs about 20-30% faster than 8.1, and I mean the whole lifetime curve, fresh 10 install was 20-30% faster than fresh 8.1, and now after about half a year of usage, it's still 20-30% faster than 8.1 was after half a year of usage.
(yeah, best solution would be to get better laptop, no money for that, I'm a poor indie living in a semi-developed country (1.5th world ), so poor I don't even have my own basement, just a room in an apartment )
EDIT: Also, with win10 is the first time Dark Souls is able to run on its full framerate on this PC, if I give its process Realtime Priority, so FUCK NO I'M NOT CHANGING MY OS IN ANY DIRECTION AT LEAST UNTIL I'VE FINALLY BEATEN THE GAME!!!
