DO NOT DOWNGRADE YOUR COMPUTER TO WINDOWS 10 - YOU WILL REGRET IT LATER

Having participated on the hoax that was the "insider program" since its very beginning, with Microsoft selectively only listening to feedback that pleased them, and having watched as they released messy update after messy update, including the last one - messier and buggier than many before it (I still remember how shocked I was when I learned that it was going to be the RTM version), my only advice for all of you is:

DO NOT DOWNGRADE YOUR COMPUTER TO SQUARES 10

For those of you who happened to install this monstrosity, remember you are on a "timer" and only have one month to roll back to your previous Windows version, otherwise you'll be risking your activation keys being invalidated by Microsoft:

I can barely imagine the nightmare for NVIDIA, AMD and all other manufacturers of devices and peripherals that need special drivers, having to deal with the worst abomination ever released by Microsoft (worse than 8/8.1, if that's even possible), starting with the forced silent updates which might be happening at any time during the installation of a new driver, messing up the install process and the user's system altogether.
