Thoughts on Windows10?

I'm using Windows 8.1 and I'm really undecided about the upgrade. I'm worried that it might cause compatibility problems with some of my older software and I'd hate to have to spend money on upgrading that.

There are always mixed responses from the public as soon as a new operating system is introduced. The same scenario existed when Windows XP was released, with many people quoting that they intend to stick with Windows 98. Many of those people ended up using Windows XP and eventually stating that they would continue with XP and not change to Windows 7. Once again many of those are now making the same comments about Windows 10. The constant reluctance from users is due to the learning curve required when becoming familiar with a new operating system, although personally I have no issue jumping from one to the other. I was running Windows 10 for quite some time prior to the official release and am very happy with it. It was a real pain in the very early days when the first builds were released, but gradually things improved and issues were resolved. This is the sole reason that Microsoft offer early pre release builds to people in order to check for potential conflicts with various combinations of hardware and software.

My son went to Windows 10 and he likes it. But he upgraded from 8.1. So he's already used to the overwhelming invasion of Microsoft into his personal data. I am using Win 7 and it's fine. I would have been happy with XP forever, but what can you do? Every upgrade takes a little more user control away and puts a little more Microsoft big brother in place.

I have windows 10, and I likeit compared to windows 8.1. which I had lots of problem with. Windows 10 was a little iffy at first, but now it runs flawlessly, and I really like it. I do recommend it to anyone thinking about using it.
