Yea, that's what I ended up doing.I you haven't done a reinstall yet, I suggest downloading a fresh Windows 10 installer from Microsoft onto a thumb drive. You'll end up with the most recent version of their install system, and probably quite a few less annoying updates post-install.

I've been avoiding W10 forever... still on W7 on a boot camped 2013 13" Air. Longest I've ever had a computer. It's not super fast but it works!
I think Windows 10 is honestly fine once you remove all of the live tiles and pre-installed apps from the start menu. The control panel interface is also inconsistent and the notifications can be annoying at default settings but I'm happy with the performance and the features.
I just wish that Microsoft would develop some sort of low latency audio standard that's comparable to OS X's Core Audio. That's my biggest gripe. Sure there's ASIO but I think Microsoft could come up with something better in-house. If I didn't play games or use so many VST plugins I'd just use Linux and that would be the end of it.
Where did the menu bar go on Windows?!?!? Why would I want a window with no menu bar?!??I just hate the overall look and feel. The gray-on-gray, no borders, blah. No consistency. The whole thing feels like it was designed by a bunch of stoned, millennial hipsters at a weekend retreat and then outsourced to the lowest bidder in Bangalore. Clunky, cluttered clusterf*ck.
Windows XP was the greatest OS ever. Windows 7 is pretty darn good too because you can make it look like XP.

I know, right? Some of the design decisions are baffling. The scroll bars that disappear after a couple seconds are another mystery. In what universe is that a good thing?Where did the menu bar go on Windows?!?!? Why would I want a window with no menu bar?!??

It doesn't seem to perform any better than Windows 7. The usability issues are a major negative for me. So much so I gave the laptop to my wife and bought an NOS 2016 Macbook Pro. I'm not a big fan of Macs either but at least the UI is consistent.What do you think of the OS from a performance / support standpoint? Is there anything you like about the OS over previous versions?

I'm dreading January 2020. Windows 7 support ends and my primary dev box is Windows 7. That means I have to either upgrade to 10 or pay a support fee.
Classic Shell eases the Windows 10 UI pain a little bit if anybody hates the new start menu as much as I do.
Win7 EOL is Jan 2020.. You'll not get any security patches after that.. which is all they support right now.I've been avoiding W10 forever... still on W7 on a boot camped 2013 13" Air. Longest I've ever had a computer. It's not super fast but it works!
Been using CS since early Win7 days.. can't handle the default win7/10 start bar config..Classic Shell eases the Windows 10 UI pain a little bit if anybody hates the new start menu as much as I do.
