Wow! You checked the whole Windows 10 source code for bugs and found none! Good job! Fightsback obviously doesn't know what he/she's talking about!

I have upgraded and kept Windows 10

I moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 then to Windows 10 all in the space of about 4 months. I would probably still be on XP if I had not come on to this forum and took notice of some of the posters here preaching hell-fire and damnation to all XP users. No sooner was I on Windows 7 than Windows 10 came out.

I was initially reluctant to migrate to Windows 10 because of the apparent issues of invasion of privacy and the implication made by some that it was an o\s for the younger generation, not oldies like me.

However. I took the plunge and upgraded one of my Win 7 machines to Windows 10 on the 32 bit platform.

I discovered right away that it is possible to opt out of most of the features that might cause an intrusion into one's privacy. That aspect no longer bothers me. I also found that Windows 10 is quite easy to navigate, not a lot different from Windows 7 when you customise it. One feature that I particularly like is the way it manages email clients. Much better for me than Windows 7. I cannot see a reason now why I would need to go back to Windows 7. This 32 bit platform runs my old printer and some of my old games.

So for anyone hesitating to take the plunge I would say you can always try it and then return to Windows 7 if you don't like it. You have a month to change your mind and then you can simply go in to Control Panel and click the option to return to Windows 7.

Basically Windows 10 is easy peasy to run and the invasion of privacy does not appear to be as bad as first thought; as long as you are savvy enough to learn how to deal with the privacy settings.

After the confusing monstrosity that was Windows 8, I'm pleasantly surprised with Windows 10.

Upgraded about a month ago. Only problem the video driver, which was updated after. All seems fine at the moment, so quite happy.
Went through many of the privacy settings and switched them to off, but still tinkering with bits and pieces!!

Regardless of nay sayers the poll is clear - the majority of respondents have taken the MS shilling and stuck with W10. I don't doubt there will be some showstoppers and some simply won't like what they see but that seems to be just 10% on the admittedly small sample of replies here.

Seems you have trouble with understanding my post.
No problems.................First hand experience.
As stated, no more no less. Get a grip.
As far as Fightsback is concerned, he can and does, fight his own battles. However, I'm sure he understood.

Each to their own I would say. Some will stick with 7 (assuming they know how to disable the forced upgrade) some will happily upgrade to 10 and some will go with choosing an alternative OS to MS.
