Just got a new Dell Inspirion 660 a couple weeks ago with Windows 8.1, took a little to get started after coming off Vista. Had a offer pop up on the computer for a free upgrade to Windows 10 but I thought it best to pass it by at this time.....correct move or not?

Great question. I’m always dubious on “upgrades” if what I have is working properly currently.

Likely a good move. Microsquish is famous (or infamous) for letting the “early adopters” be the beta testers for their new OS.

You will have access to the free upgrade for a year after release.

You have a new computer, so less to have to back up. I would wait a month or two to let issues work themselves out.

Probably not. 10 is supposed to be much more user friendly than was 8. I was able to do what I wanted on 8, but it was a pain digging down to find where to do it.

I have both my current computers set up to go from 7 to 10. Biggest loss will probably be Microsoft Hearts.
