Well just got hold of the official Windows 10 RTM (Released to Manufacturers) and is now on my Asus Transformer Book T100TA (32GB Model).
It must be noted that before installation i had only 3.6GB of free internal storage. It took almost 3 hours with multiple bootups to get things done and finally...
Windows 10 Home
Initially the machine was slower but this was because of the graphic card as it made use of just the basic Microsoft display driver. The system did update the drivers and after which became smooth and fluid.
On Windows 10, the charms bar disappeared was replaced by Action Center with notifications and quick toggles for basic functions.
Start button has returned. In Desktop mode, it shows you most used programs, settings and power options while on the side is your Metro Tiles. You wont be able to retain your Windows 8.1 Metro tile so you need some customization after you update.You will notice new applications such as Microsoft Edge, Phototastic Collage, Line and finally Candy Crush! If your coming from preview build 10166 this would be the most noticeable change you would notice. On Tablet Mode, you will only see your Metro Tiles but still the start button is there to access all your apps.
On your Taskbar, other than the start button , is search and task view. Task View displays your running apps and also multiple virtual desktops. You can create as many desktops as possible but will depend on if your hardware can handle it.
On 8.1, I seldom use store apps as i find them troublesome switching from desktop to metro just to run it. I am also limited to just two via snapview. With Windows 10, Store Apps opens in desktops and you can run many of them at the same time. Some of which also great replacement for legacy desktop apps. Since the Charm bar is no more, you will be able to access settings of Windows Apps via hamburger menu.
Moving on to Microsoft Edge, the new browser is sure is quick and fast in terms of loading your webpages. It also features Reading mode for distraction-free reading of webpages with no ads. With Web Notes, you can scribble, highlight, add notes and clip some parts of webpages which is great for notetaking while surfing.

| Build 10240 is Windows 10 RTM |
With the Upgrade, the camera app was not functioning but an update of SOC Drivers did fix things. Only one bug i failed to fix is when playing MKV video files, the video is pixelated or glitchy but I guess video codecs is the main culprit. I am sure Microsoft will have an update to fix this.
Will be playing around with Windows 10. Will post updates if there are some new things i encounter or bugs
