Has anyone here upgraded from Win 7 or Win 8 and, if so, what do you think?

I will be the last man standing on Win 7 until I hear hundreds of
enthusiastic reviews and find some compelling reason to convert. I'm
very negative on the way Microsoft is trying to push this upgrade on
to people, and I deeply resent their changes to the desktop interface.



I am pretty much in agreement with you but I also recognize that
eventually the change will *have* to be made.

Microsoft is really pushing this upgrade, even to Win 7 users (like us)
who have no complaints or issues. I wonder why.

I agree about the desktop interface. I dislike Win 8 and it's revisions
primarily due to this. I am not a tablet user nor much of a
smart phone user, so the "swiping" of stuff on a computer screen annoys
me. Much more of a point and "click" type.

My Win10 desktop looks like Win7 which looked like XP.
Except for colorized app title bars, which I haven't
bothered to change.
There's some work involved. I'm happy with Win10, though
if you want "privacy" - whatever that means - you have to
disable certain switches.
If you like Win7, stay with it. Stability is about equal.



Thanks. Good input and advice.

I had to take a older laptop that I am passing on to my daughter in to a computer shop for a little work.

I asked the guy should I upgrade my laptop and desktop from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

He said if you are happy with 7 stay with it and don't do the upgrade. If you have 8 or 8.1 do the upgrade.

I have 7 and am happy with it so I am sticking with it for now, Windows 7 that is.

Seems to be the general consensus. My Win 7 laptop doesn't have a touch
screen capability anyway, so any so called advantage of Win 10
is diminished considerably.

Windows 10 seems to run stuff faster, but you need more than 640K of memory.
