I would wait a long time before doing this upgrade.
Many problems.
Main one is you cant turn Automatic updates off in 10.
I also had things on a 8 month old Dell laptop that don't work anymore after allowing the up dates to complete that I cant stop.
Wi Fi, even the sleep modes and times.
This stuff is so bad they cant even give it away.
Yes its better than 8, keep 7 if you can.
The Microsoft ones should look at why there are not used or allowed in Jeppeson for our charts or manuals.
IPads only approved for flying.
FAA told me MS has never been reliable like Mac and getting worse. so they wont allow the use.
Can you imagine doing a pre flight needing important data and all of a sudden its says I need to update.
MS needs to to better or just shut down.
Cant depend on them any longer.
They have been on a downwind spiral 3 or 4 years now.
