“Never 10”
—
I run that on a regular basis on my Win 7 & 8.1 installs. MS tries to sneak in “upgrade” to Win 10 in Windows updates every now & then. So I run it, at the least, after every regular monthly update.
10 was a nightmare for me. Memory hog. Spyware pre-installed. Got slower and slower. I wiped my puter clean and installed Linux. No more MS for me.
Just shut-off the MS Update virus-installer. Eliminates the chance of your entire PC crashing and burning from one of those “patches” that MS rolls out on users to help them de-bug their bloatware.

I thought they stopped that, givign free upgrade, and are now charging users to upgrade?
