    They've had just as much time to get things ready as we've had in trying it out. I have 2 Dell Notebooks and looking on their support.dell.com site lists a note about Win10 and suitable drivers available that are not included in Win10.

    It's the M$ who implemented the BIOS based backdoor so others can exploit it.

    MS Bloat. If it's bad enough it'll go away on it's own, but at the bare minimum you can usually disable it.

    Keeping BIOS from getting stealth "updated" might be needed.
