I would agree based on a lot of posts I have seen. I think it is more 7/8 related actually.
Whilst it is hard to generalise, it certainly seems upgrades from Windows 7 are more problematic than upgradess from Windows 8 (fairly obviously due to drivers in 8 being largely Windows 10 compatible), and of course Windows 10 was largely built on the 8 infrastructure.
Run of the mill mass produced pcs seem to be less problematic than custom built pcs (graphic cards seem to be the main issue).
Of course, many high end gaming pc users still use Windows 7, which creates a double whammy ie old OS and less standard drivers.
At the end of the day, the best advice stated here by several posts is to image backup current install, upgrade (get your free upgrade), and revert if issues.
The question is often asked when is the best time to upgrade, and the answer people often give is wait until July.
Actually, that is not necessarily such a good idea - suppose you leave it to the last week or so of the free upgrade, but have problems getting it installed and/or activated - you could go past the free deadline.
