Yes I did on two laptops and it messed both of them up. I found out later that the laptop brands did not have worarounds for some of the Windows 10 upgrades. I reverted back to 8.

TeamChi - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. I don't know if it a grave mistake, but I upgraded when it first was available. Sounds like Microsoft just stuck it to you. The only major problem I had was the latest Windows 10 update no longer supports parallel ports. My printer stopped working. I did fix it by purchasing a parallel to USB cable and my printer is working again.

Only during the first week, when Windows put upgrades on the upgrades that hadn't been upgraded yet.  The computer had no idea what it wanted to upgrade, so it shut down the computer.  Since the correction, I have not had problems.

Your home inspection software can easily run on a Mac. We have Windoze 8 installed on all of our Mac computers just in case we have to convert a file or test some software. It actually runs faster on a Mac than a dedicated PC.
