I will upgrade to W10 ONLY when Im Forced. I do not see any reason why to upgrade to W10, there are not even DX12 games.

Not true! Rise of the Tomb Raider caters for DX12 D:

Anyway...personally I've been using Win10 for about a year now. It has its quirks, like sometimes the start bar crashes (or something), which needs a system restart (Or just that one particular service I haven't bothered tracking down). Or an update resets all the user permissions on files, but these things all feel like growing pains and don't really annoy me much.

One thing I would recommend is to download the ISO and format/install, instead of using the GWX tool so that old system files don't clog everything up. If your current system is gg, then it should be ok...but, yeah, Windows will be Windows.

Addendum: move to linux.

There was a problem with Windows 10 users for which I don't know if its fixed. Microsoft's gave warning about some driver not being compatible so after autoupdate FPS is drasticly droping in some games and one of games on list is "World of Warcraft" people who had 60 stable FPS had to play with 20 FPS at max. I'l repeat I am not sure that this is fixed but they say stoping autoupdate at some point can help to avoid this problem.

i was skeptical at the begining...had one try with win10 and didn't like because of window appearance.Meanwhile i changed my laptop and since december i am using win10.tbh i kinda enjoy it now.
i also have a 2nd laptop(core2duo,so kinda old) with win10 and a minipc and both run win10 just fine(note:both have ssd instead of hdd).

my conclusion is that it's a good OS(i have a proper win10 license,job perks)

PS:i do get some rare intel video driver crash warnings but it doesn't affect the stability(i get these while using firefox,so meh)

You did a bad think? Does it affect me? No? Them Suffer in Silence.
