I cleanly installed Win 10 after an 8.1 update suddently made windows unable to cooperate with pretty much all drivers on an 1-yr old pc. (microsoft says it was the manifacturer's fault, but I somewhat doubt it)
I had to fix a couple of settings for the motherboard driver to make standby work as intended, but done that I never looked back. From the UI point of view, I like that I can pretend to have never heard of "start screens" and "settings menus" and whatnot.
It doesn't run CiV, but I haven't tried hard either, and maybe that's for the best.
