My son did the upgrade from Win7 to Win10 on his Asus laptop and has been b|tching ever since. He did the in-place upgrade, not a clean install. First off, it installed a whole bunch of useless apps. Then he started getting "out of memory" messages even tho he has 6GB of RAM. Then his CPU usage is through the roof; into the 60-70% range. He is using Avast for his antivirus and has deleted Norton and turned Windows Defender off. He got M$ on the phone and they accessed his laptop and ran a bunch of checks, etc. After that, he's even gotten a couple of BSOD's upon bootup. So, he figured he would just go back to Win7 but he kept getting these messages about him needing to delete any users that he's added. But the only user is himself with Admin capabilities; so that just goes into an endless loop; can't revert back to Win7.

He has Googled it and evidently, there are all kinds of problems with Win10 from memory leaks to wiping out disk drives and all kinds of crap. Needless to say, he has regretted it and wishes he could just go back to Win7.

Have any of you guys gone down this route and what suggestions do you have?

TIA
