It should be understood that the current version of Windows 10 - a Technical Preview. This version is not designed for everyday use and for examination, testing and sending of feedback to the developer. In short, an assembly for technicians, administrators and advanced users. The system can constantly morph, something added in the next update, something will disappear, something changes, something stops working. This crude product, and in no case can not perceive it now as an environment for comfortable work. In it even Russian yet.

MS warns about this and advised not to put TP on your main computer, but if you are one of those brave enthusiasts, be sure to make a backup copy of all your data (for users of Windows 8 and 8.1 have special recovery utility from Microsoft) and be prepared for pain.

Even if you put the Windows 10 and everything seems to be okay, remember - a moment everything can go wrong, so do not relax and make no TP in the main work environment.
