Iunno, tbh, lad.
If you have a Xbone there are some extra features that come with upgrading. Otherwise there are the things you prolly already know about like the UI, Cortana and almost absolute transparency of your data unless you turn off a lot of stuff in the settings.

So, teah... Can't help you much with that.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

they want to distance themselves from 8 as quickly as possible.
Also a marketing tactic to make your version seem older than it really is to get you to want to upgrade more.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I dunno, 8.1 is pretty good with Classic Shell. All the minor benefits of 8 but without the annoying Start screen panels.

That said, I'm not upgrading from here either. I don't need 10.

Didn't upgrade because I have no problemas with 7.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
I'd do it for the performance. But it spies on you apparently.

Perfomance wise Windows 10 is better. Just read up on the features offered in Windows 10, and maybe on some of its controversies and you probably will have a picture of the cons and pros of upgrading. I mean, I could tell you how it violates your privacy and that Microsoft is nuts, but I've got tired of saying these things again and again, nobody ever listens.

Windows 8 and 8.1 were really good, and 10 is a nice improvement on it, especially if you prefer the Windows 7 layout. 10 is a good mix of 7 and 8.

If you value privacy, don't. But if you don't mind having your every action being constantly monitored, I say go for it.

Actually, I've heard Windows 10 feels a lot like 7, with some cool new features. Problems arise if you have even the slightest concern for privacy.

whatever happened to 9?

They had to skip it because 7 8 9

*cough* I think the other problem was a technical one related to backwards compatibility: some programs for Windows 95/98 wouldn't care about the second digit so they'd just have 'Windows 9' in the code.

dammit I was gonna say that kupo

OT: I'm not going to be upgrading from 7. When I get a new PC I imagine there won't be much of a choice to stick Win7 on it so I'll go with 10 then, but eh.

Better, but less privacy. Honestly most hate is because people cannot deal with things being slightly different. People have problems with change when it cones to computer or life in general.

You shouldn't. Windows 10 is spyware from the ground up.

I, too, still use 7, and I, too, click the little x whenever the offer to upgrade appears every time I boot up my laptop.

I'm personally waiting for a few of the privacy concerns to be addressed before I upgrade. That directX 12 makes it tempting to upgrade early though.
