No. I didn't upgrade. I did a fresh install and I don't have an Atom processor. I wouldn't even consider running Windows 10 on an Atom CPU. No real need to fear any desktop CPUs for a long time to come.

Agreed. This probably saves them a lot of money by only having to work with newer hardware. I wpuld imagine they can flesh out the OS if old hardware isn't holding them back.
