Quote:

1 - Can't upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8

Some of the most common problems with Windows 10 are those that happen when first installing the upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.

2 - Can't upgrade to the latest Windows 10 version

Windows 10 receives pretty big updates every so often, such as the Creators update in March 2017, Fall creators Update in October 2017, and the April 18 and October 2018 update last year. Each of these major updates introduces new features to Windows 10, as well as security bug fixes and a whole lot more.

3 - Have a lot less free storage than before

You might not know, but after installing Windows 10 the old version of the OS is hanging around in the background taking up useful space.

4 - Windows Update isn't working

Many people have reported issues with Windows Update in Windows 10.

5 - Turn off forced updates

If you're anything like us, you set up previous Windows releases so that they wouldn't install updates automatically - one forced reboot is one too many.
