Windows 8.1 and 10 were an attempt to try and merge mobile operating systems and pc operating systems into a nice, and pleasing interface that you could use on both with minimal reprogramming. On face value, it seems to work pretty well. As you get a little deeper into the OS though you start seeing some major flaws and really weird behavior for a windows OS.
However, I have had no problem with Windows 10 to on the systems I have installed it on. I still do consulting to help people with PC problems and, like you, often deal with McAfee Antivirus pre-installed on many PCs. But I have not experienced a problem with McAfee because I always remove it.
I eliminate the downside of dealing with the tablet/smartphone interface on a non-touch screen device by using Classic Shell or StartIsBack to bring it back to a Windows 7 user interface.
And I use Windows as an operating system and don't use any MS aps. I prefer Google apps and all is well with Windows 10.
For those that prefer MS immersion, your experience may vary.
I'm dealing with the brand new out of the box PC's and usually set them up for customers remotely. Depending on what package they buy, we install mcafee as a virus solution. So we tend to see some really weird behavior alot of times.
I think what it comes down to is what your using Windows 10 for. It's going to do certain tasks just beautifully, and others not so much. The constant report I get a lot is, "Windows 10 boots up so fast!!!11". Well yeah, theirs kind of a reason for that. Your not properly shutting it down. Your just using the built in shut down which is kind of a weird sleep/hibernation/shut down mode. It's not a completely and true shut down like people think of shut downs. So when you turn it back on, it doesn't have to load up a lot of the things it normally does on first boot.
Windows 10 and 7 on fresh installs on the same spec machines, have about the same boot times. I think Windows 10 has a second or two at most on windows 7 just because of some of the optimizations. But then it's not loading up alot of services as a result, which means slower boot times on initial applications/programs. Not incredibly noticeable when you get used to it though.
