An upgrade is never as safe an option as a fresh installation.

Windows 10 upgrading problems are well-documents.... and expected. Giving the vast number of hardware the OS is compatible with. Driver issues for example shouldn't be a problem on SP4 because that PC is designed to run Windows 10 and is rocking the latest hardwar. 

I'll admit that there are some hardware compatibility issues and I know I'm not the one to object that since I own an Intel Z170 chipset but WIndows 10 has the SAME system requirements as Windows 7 does ...

I've had my Xbox one since March 2014 ... the UI has been improving month over month. Microsoft is consistently making it better with every update. I have the kinect which get the most out of the Xbox One UI. Microsoft should sell a cheap microphone that plug into the Kinect port and give you the voice command control to everyone that own an Xbox one. Microsoft has done a great job to cater to new customer that don't have Kinect and change the UI to support both users.

Windows 10 is great and I have no issue with it. It fix every concern I had with Windows 8 and is even better then windows 7. I think many of the people complaining about compatibility issues are simply using obsolete hardware and should simply revert back to the older OS.

Then just do a fresh reinstall with Windows 7 and then directly upgrade to Windows 10 once your done ... 

That wasn't so hard to sidestep the issues of old apps, now was it ?

They aren't. They don't make any money doing that, none. They make money from ads, directly or indirectly, and pretty much nothing else.

Google (or recently Alphabet) is a conglomerate, not just an ad company. Just because forbes needs a classification system, it does not mean that they cannot be viewed as a primary software development company. Look at the wiki page, they seem to agree that they have more then just ads in the works:

The internet is wonderfull, you can use it for far more then simply browsing forbes 24/7.

Or don't do it as all and be every bit as well off without a fraction of the trouble?  That's even easier, now isn't it?
