Why is it that an inkjet printer seems to fail completely just after you
install a new set of cartridges ?

No doubt some have gone well.  We don't hear from those who have no
problems.  But we're supporting approximately 900 people and it doesn't take
many of those having problems to cause the small support team to have
problems.  The "official" position of the team is that Windows 10 offers no
significant upside to the user after conversion.  But it does have a
significant downside risk of loss of personal privacy (I do hope you didn't
install using the default settings), risk of causing usage and compatibility
problems or additional expense to replace unsupported printers (not to
mention the $75 of wasted ink in the machine)
