I too have had many issues upgrading client’s computers to Windows 10 but fortunately, none of the issues have been critical. I usually recommend waiting a few months to give them time to work out the major bugs and problems before upgrading.

As you can see, the number hardware and software combinations is limitless so all you can hope for is that you have tested the most common configurations and the rest will be worked out later after the product has been released to the public, which is why it is never a good idea to upgrade the day a new OS or iOS is released. Just think how easy Apple has it? They have just a few different models to choose from with only a limited number of options and variations and they still have problems every time they introduce a new Operating System (more recently than in the past). To me, it is amazing that these things work at all. In any case, this number is not even close to the actual number, but it does give you an idea as to why it is so hard to introduce a new operating system that will work on every possible computer without any problems. Please someone correct me if my calculations are incorrect.
When you calculate out just this really simplified scenario we find that there are 206,379,406,870 different combinations of computers that can be made from this inventory of parts. Next I am going to say that there are some number of possible brands or versions of each component: 10 different Motherboards available 6 different Processors available 4 different Network Cards 6 different Video cards to choose from 3 Different Sound Cards 8 different Antivirus/Firewall programs 15 different other programs that you could have installed. So I am saying that each computer needs some combination of the 12 items above to function(we all know the number is so much higher). Taking some absolute wild low guesses, let me tally this up.
1 motherboard, 1 processor, 1 network card, 1 video card, 1 Sound Card, 1 Antivirus software, 6 miscellaneous programs installed.
Let’s streamline the numbers by saying that each computer needs only the following. Was the computer freshly rebooted before upgrading or has been running continuously for the past 2 weeks since the last reboot or it has Windows updates pending? Is the current Operating System damaged or corrupted due to a failing hard drive or past virus and malware infections that left behind subtle problems? Just to give you a really low ball, simplified, idea of the number of possible combinations. Is the computer up to date with all other software updates? Is the computer up to date with the latest hardware drivers? Is the computer infected with some viruses or malware and exactly which ones? Is the computer up to date with all Windows updates? Mmdevapi Audioendpoints Driver Windows 10. Then you have other variable such as the condition of the computer at the time of upgrade such as: Which operating system are you upgrading from? Exact combination of all the software installed such as Antivirus, Firewall software, Office Products, Browsers, Financial software, Photo Editing software, DVD playing or burning software, music software, games, etc. Exact type of external peripherals installed such as Printers, Scanners, Mice, keyboards, USB drives, Flash Drives, Label Makers, Webcams, etc. Just think of the possible variables: - Exact Make and model of your computer - Make and model of the motherboard - Make and model of the processor - Exact type of internal hardware installed such as Video Cards, Modems, Network Cards, Wireless Adapters, Touch Pads, Chipsets, Hard drive Controllers, etc. But even with millions of testers, you still can’t come even close to testing every possible scenario.

I read somewhere that Microsoft had 8 million beta testers during Windows 7 development but I am not sure of the exact number for Windows 10. Unfortunately, there are virtually an unlimited number of possible computer configurations making it impossible for Microsoft or anyone else to test them all which is why they use millions of beta testers during the development process of a new operating system.
