That's been kicked around a lot.

For me it was nice to see my old 2009 Sony Core2Duo 4GB RAM laptop get a fresh lease on speed and more. I'm pretty agnostic about OSes. But it was a nice move. Didn't seem to lose or gain much except that one works better now.

Hope your machine works better too.

Well it's the most modern OS
by orlbuckeye May 5, 2016 5:11AM PDT

so it will get the best support.

2. You can run Windows 10 modern app and Legacy WIN32 apps.
3. New accessories will work better with it.
4. Modern apps run in WIndows
5. Most major VPN's built in

Great
by Refaeliadria May 6, 2016 10:54PM PDT

the first thing I did when I installed windows 7 was to turn all the ridiculous transparency effects off. Now in windows 8 things seem not dissimilar to windows 95 in principle, but it runs so fast, fixes itself, no driver issues ever, touch interface to me seems great. The start screen is crap but windows 10 seems to have come up with the best compromise. I don't understand all the Microsoft bashing, they seem far more sensible and trustworthy than google and apple, and seem to be pushing more boundaries too.

W10

Before you do this check with the maker of your machine and see if they show support for w10.

If not you might be winging it.

Latest MS Operating System

Window 10 is the latest and modern operating system which has all the necessary functions which we want. If you're a programmer, student, teacher, hacker, designer, almost all kinds of features are include in it. So overall it is the best OS as compared to any previous OS.

Window 10

There are some practical benefits to the new design direction too, such as windows being smaller due to the lack of borders

I AM MAD!
by Jane Doe Doe May 11, 2016 2:15AM PDT

I loathe Windows 10! There is nothing I like about it. I would never recommend it for the average user. Maybe a computer geek won't have any trouble, but for me, a regular person, it is hell! I'm having to learn a new system all over again .
Did I say that I hate it?!?!

Yup
by Bob__B May 11, 2016 8:28AM PDT

It's a love/hate thing.
Like any new OS there's a bit of a learning curve.

The advantages of updating is that you wil become an early adopter and be able to use newer and better features.

I had a worst experience with window 10. I don't like anything about window 10.

Then go back while you can (30 days after the upgrade).

Sorry to hear that.
by r. proffitt Forum moderator May 24, 2016 8:37AM PDT

Here the only push back in the office was the start menu. That was easy to fix with Classic Start just like we did in Windows 8.
