It is more like 7than 8. I 10 at home and 7 @ work. I like 10. It has some nice features. I haven’t really dug into all the new features, yet, just stuff I have stumble on.
I have no experience with W 8. I know I am happy with W7, it seems to have a nice ability to fix itself from freezes if they are not too bad....and I need to have lots of windows open, sometime 20-25. I just keep hearing these horror stories about W10, and of course, I recognize that I am being influenced by a piling on of media reports and all that. There are just are not many things I find unworkable about W7 at all. (And yes, I said that about XP) Yes I detest that it completely obsoletes my scanner. That really pisses me off! There is a workaround but it requires enough hours of work so that if you were paid minimum wage, you could buy a new scanner.
