I've had no end of trouble with Windows 8 which was made worse by  8.1 so I can only imagine what catastrophic failures to my files and software Microsoft has in store with it's latest "improvement".  Yes even a hardened old windows user like me is considering Apple. No I haven't changed to 10 yet, I refuse to use the word upgrade in this case.

NO. When I got my most recent computer (this year), I partitioned the drive and put W7 in. I don't like 8, and I am not going to use 10 unless absolutely forced.

No.  No desire to upgrade and get caught up in the MS spy ring.  7 and 8.1 are good enough for me.  Been in IT too long to do an in place upgrade or get on the "bleeding edge" (more often the "hemoraging edge") of technology.
