    Just one point... IF you are on a LIMITED bandwith Allowance from your ISP... eg 2 to 4Gb per month,
    DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT...
    This is a "Beta" version which downloads updates in the background... (Yes Windows does that all the time, but usually only once a month on Update Tuesday)... Windows 10 does it whenever you go on line and a lot of the stuff in Windows 10 NEEDS you to be online. (MY guess is - it is aimed at the Phone Market, again.. like Win 8.1.

    How did I find out? - Not having Broadband higher than 512Mb - not even a quarter of what ISPs keep telling me I can get... I WAS using my phone to tether to the computer I use to 'try out' Windows 10 - it took me WAY over my tethering allowance;
    I ended up taking out a cheapo Broadband deal - in UK we have to pay £16+ per month JUST for telephone line rental then the cheapest deal I found was another £3.50 per month on top of that... (it is still cheaper than the £45 my ISP charged for going over my bandwith limit...
