But Microsoft has announced they will stop with it when it's no longer free after July 29, 2016, so it will stop anyway.

No better than W7

I upgraded 1 of my computers to W10 from W7 and I see no advantage to W10 other than it is the future of MS windows. It was released way too early and not ready for primetime with driver problems, glitches, bugs, etc.
Personally I have had a minimum of problems but look around at all the forums and you will see thousands of problems.
The only advantage I see at this time is that it is free for now but it will cost you in the near future.
