Cross Platform play between the PC and Xbone. Not too shabby, still waiting to see more.

If you're stuck on "Working on it" screen, just close the window. And instead open Windows Update. If you have pending updates, install them. If not, click "Check for updates" and you will be prompted to install Windows 10.

If you signed up for the Insider Program for the Preview of Windows 10, you can download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.
It can create a USB installation on a USB stick, ISO file to burn to a DVD, or you can upgrade, with this tool. You can also create either the 32 or 64 bit versions, or both.
I did my Windows 10 upgrade yesterday. One minor error, my NIC drivers did not work and had to update before I had internet connectivity. Other than that, the whole upgrade time was about 1hr.

I got tired of waiting so I downloaded it directly from MS using the media creation tool. Didn't even bother with the USB option; just straight upgrade. Flawless installment using this method on 4 Win 7 laptops, 1 Win 8 laptop, and 1 Win 8 tablet. All upgrades went without a hitch. First impression: BIG improvement over 8, but I still liked 7 better... That being said, The Cortana tool is surprisingly cool and useful.
