After upgrading my four year old system to Windows 10 I eventually decided to do a clean install of Windows 10, which can only be done after the upgrade. I then uninstalled all programs with limited registration counts before doing the clean install of Windows 10. The clean install improved the performance of my system significantly because, at least in part, the Windows registry is a digital junkyard after years of installations, upgrades, and updates. Power users often do a clean install once a year for this reason.
I then of course had to reinstall everything. But it was certainly worth it. The boost in overall system performance was very noticeable.

Yes please do read carefully. I made the mistake of installing Windows 10 and tried to roll back to Windows 7 and instead reset my machine. Now, I'll never be able to go back to Windows 7 and my copy of Cakewalk is no longer good.
