No criticism here. First, I wait for x.2 at least, maybe x.1. Then
using DiskMaker X, I do a clean install. Yosemite was installed once
this way.
Its a lot of work but its only once a year after all.

Hello Eileen,
I expect a heap of criticism for what I’m about to say.
I always recommend installing a new OS from a USB key and wiping the
hard drive before doing the installation. You can then restore your data
and settings from a Time Machine backup.
I’m so tired of seeing unpredictable behaviour when people just do an
upgrade on top of the existing OS.
My husband is currently on a long phone call with a client who tried to
install El Capitán on top of Yosemite, and her machine will no longer boot.
Once the machine is in a bad way, the best thing to do is a clean
install from a USB key and not copy everything from Time Machine, but
reconfigure the machine from scratch and only copy back your data from
Time Machine.
Cheers,
Anne

Traci,
On Sunday, I called Apple tech support with what I thought would be a
simple question and fix to problems I experienced while using IBooks.I
did the upgrade to El Cap from Yosemite.
Apple tech shared viewing my computer and observed the behavior. I
literally spent about 3 hours on the phone with them. The exact
problem you describe with VO just stop working – no sound – kept
happening across the board. I kept having to use command F5 to turn
it back on (I never turned it off to begin with). Finally the tech
rep suggested restoring the install of El Capitan. The system would
not even allow me to restore/reinstall the software. Bottom line is I
have an appointment set up on Friday morning to bring the Mac book
into them and let them work on it in the Apple store. I’m very
disgusted with the computer at this point.
