Tiggs, I'm sorry you had a rough day. And about Eek--your story is similar to what happened when my "friend" Sandy passed away: right in my lap.
Angel, I have installed countless copies of just about every version of every MS operating system (DOS, Windows 3.1-10, Windows NT/2000/2008 Server) and Windows 10 was my most problematic install. At least with the other operating systems, I knew what would work and what wouldn't after the install--but Windows 10 just said: everything works! Uh huh. That's why it crashes with the provided video driver, I don't get any sound, my flatbed scanner is no longer recognized, and I needed to reinstall my printer driver several times to get it to "see" the printer. I've solved those problems (well, except for the scanner--apparently I'm out of luck with that), but I wish the install process had run a little smoother (the process failed about four or five times before I could figure out that the culprit that kept the install from completing was the graphics card). So.... I feel your pain.
