I’d hold on to win7 for dear life if I was you (and in fact I hold on to win7 until it reaches EOL and possibly beyond).
Not just because of privacy issues, but a “subscription” based pricing model maybe on the cards for win10 later on.
Cheers, Uwe

Also, Win 7 is much more stable with BMS and the various other programs such as Helios, MFDE, etc., based on my experience.

I had a lot of trouble going from 8.1 to 10 for falcon bms. I had to set falcon in windowed mode. (Still full screen for combat, but it was a pain in the neck to figure out what to do.)

Using win 10 since the release. No issues at all. Increase in fps from win7.
-
I cloned my win7 drive and updated the clone with free win 10 for future examination. Meanwhile continue to use original win 7

No major issues with 10 myself.

You can download the full installer and create a dual boot system with win7 and 10 as options
In that way you have your free legal copy if win 10 should you need it at a later stage and you can still use win7 as much as you want to.

Win10 here and works great. Go for upgrade, but be sure to check out youtube vids on how to disable all the bloat Win10 natively enables with upgrade. Its all Microsoft bloat, but its easy to disable/ditch.

I’m in the sticking with Win 7 until it isn’t feasible crowd. There are too many privacy concerns with Win 10 and I have a natural aversion to not having ANY control over what updates are installed on my own computer. Personally I don’t have any good reason to move to Win 10 but many reasons to avoid it like the plague.

Anyone remember “trusted computing”…Nuff said on W10.

I’d say no. I almost installed it by accident. Luckily I declined the agreement thing and it put me back to 7. I hope the free offer ends soon but my guess they will keep on extending it forever.

Win 10 is a ‘service’ and MS maintains the registration on their servers so I’m told. Supposedly you can ‘upgrade’ to w10, let it register then roll back and still keep you’re free access to w10 in the future. I read you can install it to a flash drive using the W10 ISO from MS’s site, and register it with your w7/w8 keys.
I did a clean install to a spare hard drive since w10 is married to the motherboard, unlike earlier windows versions. BMS is quite stable on my w10 64 install, but I don’t stack processes in w10 like I do w7. -
Got my free upgrade quite a while ago. Never experienced any issues at all since the switch.

Been using W10 for awhile now. Had some issues wth 4.33, but I recently just updated my entire computer. Works like a charm now and I am finding out features about W10 that make life a breeze. I’d upgrade for sure. Windows 7 won’t last forever.

If it’s married to the motherboard then the free version will become invalid as soon as you swap the mb out. Sounds like a waste of time to me if that is true. I remember reading that if you are upgrading from retail the the free Win10 retains those same rights so why they marry it to the mb?
