I use mine probably very much the same way as you do. It's configured to look 99% the same as my Win7 installation had been.
But frustration comes from the fact that Win 10 is just so random. I've had two installations (the second after the loss of my primary HDD). The first was great, it just worked. The second however keeps doing things I don't want.
- Initial installation immediately downloading video driver during initial updates, locking me for hours from installing the correct Nvidia driver. So I was sitting there in the default low resolution unable to really do anything.
- Disabled the annoying language bar? It'll be back tomorrow.
- Disabled fast boot (which causes my pc to shut down on startup every second startup)? It'll be back next week.
There's a number of other smaller things as well. Overall I don't hate it, I just wish it would stop trying to mess with itself/me.
