So i upgraded to Windows 10 two days ago, my primary and only device is my Lumia 640, and i'm using it as my daily driver. I'm in the slow ring, pretty much reasonable for this is my only device. So far so good. Few things that bother me, like, i don't know how to call it, 'ghost notifications', i get the notification icon on the top of the screen and also on the lock screen even tough there really isn't any notifications.
Action center is rather than slow, most of the times i have to swipe twice to get it opened, but i'm ready to sacriface the speed in favour of those 16 shortcuts.
Loading screen is practicly everywhere, but it takes like a sec to disappear.
I'm loving the new look. Perhaps the greatest thing about the look is ability to add a background picture and set the transparency, and also having it on both 'screens' is amazing, it makes huge difference in compared to 8.1, searching thru my apps has never been more beautiful.
I'd kinda like that Lumia camera opens a bit faster, but as long as it doesn't affect the picture quality i'm fine with it.
It would be pretty cool if MS would give us few new effects to Lumia selfie and make them real-time.
Another awesome thing is this new keyboard, i don't if this is a placebo effect but i find this new one a bit more responsive and easier to use, except the erase button which doesn't work from time to time.
I would like if they could give us a brightness slider instead of those 3 standard setups.
Now, for me, the greatest thing, the one that kept me from flashing back to 8.1 is the new music app, Groove Music. Man it's great, just great, awesome, cool! So much easier and more friendly to use. Much easier to control your playback, select songs, no more random opening music store, and no more ugliness. It doesn't load all my songs at once from time to time, and the biggest downside js that all the possible audio recordings al listed in there, so all your system sounds are there but you can't pla them, and then the whole music stops and then you freak out.
Battery life is significiantly reduced since 8.1, but, i can still make it thru one day.
So all in all it is a great OS for a TP, and i'm looking forward to the final release.
P.S. I've ditched the 8.1, not going back there ever again, gonna stay as insider maybe even after the final release, we'll see. What i wanna say is that i think it's mature enough to be you daily driver.
If you have any questions hit the replies, i know there are few of you who wants to install this preview but hesitate, like i did.
UPDATE 24.09.
After I've done the hard reset many of the lags have disappeared, such as action center lag, swipe between all apps and start. Some of them remained, such as dealy while unlocking the phone.
I have to mention that somehow the push notifications have broke down, not receiving notifications for Messenger, messaging etc.
Store opens much faster now, almost without delay, download speeds apparently increased.
