I updated yesterday which made my laptop as slow as treacle so I recovered via Macrium image.
Also on starting the upgrade I saw a message about ‘updates were downloaded but install needs to restart to continue’ which I hadn’t seen before.
I’m currently trying again & saw this message again so I’ll see what happens after completion.

Hi,
You can delete all the contents inside the Download folder but don't delete the Download folder itself.

It really depends on how many major bugs that Microsoft needs to fix. Microsoft released it when they decided it was ready so if they did a good amount of QA testing then it should work fine for the majority of Windows user's. But as always with new releases, proceed with caution and back up your data before deciding to upgrade.
