“And it tells you right away after upgrading and give you directions on how to restore them.”........
Using Windows 7, tell me exactly WHY I should download the free Windows 10. They system I currently have and use daily does all that I need. I see no real benefit.
You probably shouldn't upgrade. Ever.
I haven’t upgraded yet, although I probably will this weekend or next on one computer to see how it goes. Like you, I’m happy enough with 7 — I was happy enough with XP; but Vista was garbage.
The only reason to go to 10 that I can see is that eventually, MS will quit releasing patches for 7. Well, a second reason - it should make life easier for the folks at NSA.
Throw privacy completely out the window with Win10.
