How is Windows 10 working out? [View all]

I just scheduled a Windows 10 (may or June 2020) upgrade for 11:26 pm tonight. I just bought a laptop in March. I've read that sometimes the updates cause problems with computers, and so, if there are problems, I can delay the upgrade. I don't have a lot of files to back up, but there are some I probably should take care of.

I googled for information about this upgrade, didn't see any warning signs, except some compatibility issues with some social media, gaming information destroyed and some customized settings not working. I can get on my social media on my phone, don't game, and don't have any customized sites.

I value the opinions shared here, and thought I'd ask what you think. Thanks!

EDITED to add: The laptop came with Windows 10 installed and the upgrade I'm wondering about is the newest version of Windows 10, rolled out in May 2020, and continuing. I just found this article, which is highlighting problems: https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/06/09/microsoft-windows-10-update-warnings-printer-external-display-internet-connection-free-windows-10-upgrade/#33c15fe5630e
