So, even though you think Windows 10 is spiffy you are not ready to give up Windows 7?
I’m in the same boat, I hear great things about Window 10 but am reluctant to move because of the vast differences between Windows 7 and Windows 10.
I guess if I had experience with Windows 8, the move would be easier.
I've been telling friends and family who ask me, should they upgrade? that if they have Win7 and like it, and don't like the look of 8, they should stick with 7; but if they have 8/8.1 they should upgrade.
If they hate 8, they'll find 10 a lot better. If they like 8, they'll like 10 even more.
But those who (like me) are still fans of 7, are not likely to jump into bed with 10 immediately.
I'm working with it (in a VM) because I have to be able to support my users who are migrating to it (I'm a System Admin). And I'm finding it's a damn sight better than 8 or 8.1.
That said, I'm keeping my main Windows box at Win7 indefinitely, because it's configured just how I like it and there's no reason to change that.
If you have Windows 8x the decision is a no-brainer. I would say it’s about even with 7 but an upgrade would probably be advantageous as new software that takes advantage of the new features becomes available.
