Every Windows 10 install I have is quite snappy. I'd suspect something with the upgrade. Upgrades are generally never good.

Maybe it's my machine, but it has become a dog since the upgrade. It takes 3 minutes to come out of hibernation and many times when I click the start button to launch a program it doesn't even respond. Trying to sort a directory by date seems like it has to reindex the entire drive before showing me the files. It's only a laptop I use occasionally, but man it has sucked so far.

No more needing to transfer all the clients data and settings because they're already there.
