My experience with Windows 10
I bought Windows 7 Ultimate years ago and first installed it on a Bootcamp partition on Mac. I always had trouble with dpc latency issues that ruined my recordings so I didn't like using it. Now I got a custom PC and got the opportunity to update my Windows 7 Ultimate license to Windows 10 for free. It's the best Windows system I've ever tried. Very stable and rock solid!
