Are you serious? DELETE C:\WINDOWS /S? You will destroy the Windows install.

Geert, when it comes to Windows 10 you are not wrong. I was so fed up with it I just wiped it and went back to Windows 7. Its been 3 months no crashes.
What do you do with Win10 that it crashes? :) In my case it did not crash since first installation almost a year ago.
My problem was with my wireless keyboard and Mouse. I got a new one from Logitech and still had the same issue. Clean install of Windows 10 and I still had delays with typing and I could not highlight text with my mouse. I installed a Microsoft mouse and keyboard same issue. I just gave up and went back to Windows 7.
@Edward you have an issue with interference...clear your desk completely...just monitor tower keyboard mouse...everything that can cause interference just push it as far away as possible

Geert Gruwez,
I am asking any tools you all to check out which folder and which files take most of the disk space.
Edward Pamias,
I am using Windows 10 since it launch but it don't crash ! and recent update make it also better, just like the recent 2 x CU update it make Windows 10 even faster and use 4GB less RAM in the SAME work load. my PC usually use 20GB of RAM when all my application including JAVA application running, now only 13.x-15GB of RAM.
my chrome has 40 tabs when launch, it all create problem for me before but I am happy with latest CU, and I found one more CU udpate and it don't make me into trouble and faster !
I am waiting for redstone 2 to release and I will upgrade it.
do you all knows that Windows 10 make repairing a PC OS much easier, just use the latest build ISO and it can repair your OS without reset PC and reinstall all application, this is what Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 can't do!
the main good thing I can see on Windows 10 is, it run nearly the same speed across DIFF GRADE of CPU. I think this is the point of Windows 10, it is a loT OS (it run across a lot of HW in the world, you can run it on XBOX, phone, etc and their performance is not that bad ! how about on Snapdragon and ATOM? also fast enough. did you heard about Snapdragon is going to run multi core and Windows 10 can run on it ? it prepare for the next MS surface phone which expected to be Windows 10 for phone but not Windows mobile 10 any more.
Windows 10 also has a new Anti Virus mode, make Virus much harder to attack the PC,
anyway, my Windows 10 PC is very good ! my old icore 7 3th edition very old laptop and Xeon E2600 PC also fine !
