apart from a 'different look', what does Win10 offer over (say) Win7 that makes the upgrade so essential?
Fewer bugs?
Increased performance?
Lower resource requirement?
More functionality?
Serious question. Honestly.
Unless you really want to talk to your computer instead of typing or mousing, then, according to the computer expert of my household, there's no substantive improvement over Windows 7 (the less said about 8 the better) - she's declined the update, on all of our machines, and has quarantined the set-up file of the downloader for it, in case MS decide to try to sneak it through as they did to millions of unsuspecting users. We're very happy running 7, XP, and Ubuntu, and unless they become unusable, nothing about 10 has tempted us - and who needs all the annoying little incompatibilities to deal with - not to mention having to download all your fave games again - life's too short.
Microsoft seem to suffer the same mental derangement as supermarket managers, who think they have to rearrange the whole bl**dy shop every time the customers have just about figured out where everything they want can be found. If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is.
