I'm kind of on the bubble with W10.  On my SP2 it works without issues, or
at least so far.  The HP AIO also seems to though I don't interact with
that machine much, mostly just hosts my iTunes and Playon/Playlater
servers.

But on the Yoga 2 Pro I'm not pleased.  :(

More often than not when waking from sleep/hibernate it is doggy as hell.
Task Manager doesn't show anything eating up clock cycles but apps are
sluggish to respond and switching between apps can be downright painful.
Haven't figured out what the hell is causing this to happen, but I'm
almost at the point of taking it back to W8.1 which worked flawlessly.

I expect a bit of a slow boot because I have quite a few things loading,
but that really shouldn't be impacting wake up.
