how stable is the latest stable build?

I upgraded to 10158 Home then to 10158 Pro and had no issues so far.

I did an upgrade and I'm not having any issue.. so far.

Same for me. I did an upgrade from 10130 and it is working great.

I did not do a clean install and I'm having problems as I mentioned above, it goes into a total freeze. Is there a way to un-do the install and then do a clean install?

I am sure there is, but a more experienced member of this forum should be the one to field your question. any takers?

Absolutely no stability issues for me on 10158, so far. I'm running on a mild O/C of 4.6GHz (uncore: 4.4GHz) due to summertime.

I think you asked the right question. the people who are happy with the product probably did a clean install. I didn't, and I can tell you I had big problems with 10158.

i didnt do clean installs on two pcs, and no problems so far.

dont guess what ppl did, -- ask them

I tell you, even on the final release day I will not rush to install this thing.
It's definitely pretty, but too buggy for me.
Onedrive kept syncing my files over and over, with errors, causing the ms office upload center to use massive system resources, and also the antimalware was working overtime, and there was a system process, an unkillable one, that would go up to 500 mb of memory.
Even though I have an SSD, the computer became slow and unresponsive like an old clunker from 10 years ago.
there were other, smaller problems, but the drag on system resources is what made me take out my image file of my windows 8.1 installation and go back to safe ground.

what build was this??? 10130? or 10158?

cos i have no problems so far on 10158

well said!
nevertheless, I think there is a high enough percentage of people having problems with the upgrade to warrant concern.
I wonder if microsoft will have to deal with a couple million very unhappy campers in august, when they take advantage of their free upgrade and find that their well-behaved machine has turned into a Frankenstein.

It is possible MS does not care about their customers I have been with mac osx beta, one build improves the previous one, that how to keep customers happy, unfortunately MS does not, well when the worst come to worst just hang on with windows 8.1. This just my opinion, someone will get upset about this write up so be it.

I thought I would give it another try to upgrade, now that 10159 became an official build.
the gui of the installation process is vastly improved. it tells you what stage you are in, it tells you to relax, etc.
the first stage, after the initial work, is copying data.
after I got to the end of the third and final stage, and was expecting to be booted into windows 10, the screen said I am being rolled back to my former installation.
why?
because there was an error in copying data (i.e. the first stage).
well, better late than never.
I am glad it didn't take too long to be rolled back down the stairs.
