I am generally happy with Windows 10, performance seems to be at least as good as it was with Windows 7 on the same machines, changes to the User Interface are good for the most parts, and it seems to run all the old programs without issue. The upgrade process itself was mostly painless as all the installed programs were still there and working after the upgrade.
