The truth is I did it for that great graphic of the Windows 10 floppy diskette. LOL
If you wanted Windows 10, you should have your head examined.
Still running windows 7, waiting to the last minute before upgrading ... let the rest of the impatient world clean up the problems before I jump in.
Disk 1 o 2079 ... love it.
Ribbon menuing and tiles slow down productivity.
If someone just uses Windows to read emails and watch videos, they may be okay.
I’ve reverted several back to Windows 7 for family/friends because they did not like Windows 10. I wonder how they count those that revert back.
Disclaimer: I’m not a big fan of Windows 10 either.

For those of you considering the upgrade...
It is nice but offers less security. You want all of the added gadgets, log in to Windows and give them your information. If Microsoft has all of your information, then so will most of the hackers in all of the countries, eventually.
I tried upgrading one PC but after testing and seeing the optional gadgets that require a Windows ID, decided no thank you. I wanted no part of providing them with so much information!
Windows 7 works just fine and will be updated for my future. See absolutely no reason to upgrade even for free.
For you younger folks looking for an easier interface to so many other devices, it may be a good option but remember that you are just providing more information to Microsoft for their business market.
The major thing that turned me off is that it does not allow options for updates - it will do its thing regardless of your options. Upgrades are no longer optional as to if or when - turns me off right there.
Other than their market, Windows 10 really provides no real benefit for most folks compared to Windows 7 or 8.1. If you simply want to stay on top with the latest version, I guess it is okay but be prepared for the consequences.
The worst thing for me is that they did away with Media Center and while not wildly popular (according to them), it has been a must when using cable card recording systems. That was and has been a blessing for cable users.
Unless someone can provide me with actual benefits, I say let it go by the wayside...
Upgrading is NOT always a good thing..
Not on a bet.
:)
Why, yes.
And the old, if it ain't broke..........
still have Windows 7. When I heard no more solitair on Windows 10 decided not to upgrade...
If you are going to remain in the Windows family of operating systems, then you will eventually need to have a supported operating system; if you are going to use an alternative operating system then just use it and stop blustering - eventually the lack of corporate support for older versions of Windows will dictate you get up to date and and upgrade or move to a different operating system.
I wouldn’t say it’s peaked. I want 10... eventually. I don’t believe in upgrading OSes. My theory is if the current OS is working don’t @#%^ with it and if it’s not adding another OS over the top usually doesn’t fix it. But when it’s time for a new machine I’ll get 10. Maybe even do it on an upgrade wave on a second HDD in dual boot. I’m sure there’s plenty of others that will get 10 as a clean install.
I bought a specced out new laptop that came with Win 8.1, which was super unstable. So I upgraded to Win10, which is equally unstable. Went back to my old Win7 laptop for work until I can procure a non-OEM copy of Win7 for my new laptop, which until then is relegated to streaming media.
Nope.
I am waiting until I hear a bit more about it before I switch.
There have only been two systems I have been eager to switch out, Millennium and Vista.
