I would recommend you wait awhile. There is no reason to hurry.

Personally I like Win7 better than Win10. I have to learn and be familiar with Win10 for my dayjob as a System Admin so I'm learning it. It's entirely usable (unlike Win8 which was not).

But my advice has been, and remains, "if you like Win7 and can't find much in Win10 that attracts you, stick with Win7. On the other hand if you're currently running Win8 or Win8.1, upgrade to Win10 at your best opportunity.:"

And do a complete system backup before upgrading anything!!

I upgraded my Win7 laptop with no issues....very happy with it- I used to have some problems with Chrome on Win 7....not any more.

I would say do it....

Stay with Win-7.

Make an image backup (other than Windows image backup) in case the Win10 goes south.

Or, if you decide to return to 7 later.

I upgraded 7 to 10 on an extra hard drive. I have another Win7 on another hard drive, which I now use. I did not like Win10 at all. If they restore the classic theme, I will consider it. Until then, I am sticking with 7.

Don’t. Maybe MSFT will get their stuff together by February or March. In the meantime, look at all the headaches you’ve avoided.

I have Windows 7, and have been stymied every time I've tried to upgrade, getting a "something happened" error message.

I have literally spent hours searching the web for a solution, to no avail.

Does Microsoft not understand the concept "user friendly?"

I'm finally throwing in the towel, and staying with Windows 7 (not that I have much choice).

And, from what I'm reading here and elsewhere, perhaps I am better off.
