Should I upgrade to 10, or keep 7?

So tomorrow is supposed to be the last day for getting the "Free 10" upgrade?

Ok, well I gave two separate PC's... actually 3 if you count my girlfriends; but I want to focus on mine.

One has Windows 7 Home Premium. Its used primarily for things like email, browsing the internet, and video streaming. Sometimes I'll do some gaming on it...

Its an i5-2500K, with 8GB DDR3-1600 and a Radeon HD6950 2GB; with an older model Plextor 256GB SSD alongside an old WD 1TB HDD. I have no money for hardware upgrades at this time.

Second PC is my main rig, used primarily for Gaming.

Its an i5-4690K overclocked at 4.7ghz; with 8GB DDR3-1600 OC'd at 1866. eVGA GTX 770 4GB FTW; two Samsung M.2 series SSD's (500gb 950 Pro & 512gb 850 Evo) along side a Black Edition WD 1TB HDD and a high end Sound Blaster card...

This one is running Windows 7 Ultimate.

I know absolutely nothing about Windows 10.

I work for an I.T. company who deliberately steers its customers AWAY from Windows 10 on the excuse that "its still not finished/its still got bugs/its not user friendly/etc etc etc" while our tech manager keeps arguing that 10 is flawed, full of security concerns and that it gives out users personal info, etc, etc...

So instead my company pushes our customers to keep using Windows 7.

But in the past couple of months we've had more and more customers start coming to us with legitimate desires to upgrade to 10 or just flat out purchase a new PC with 10. We just had a client upgrade their entire business to Windows 10 last month.

SO.

I still don't know squat, about Windows 10...

I don't want to have to go and redo my entire PC (either of them)... its just too much hassle to go through the whole format/reinstall process at this time. For starters, my gaming rig has too many heavily modded games that I just don't want to risk messing up cause then that would just completely corrupt all my save games, etc...

Then there's my girlfriends computer, sitting in the same room as mine. I don't want to risk her missing a chance for an free OS upgrade if it'll actually benefit her... but at the same time, she won't know how to use it.... and she'll beat the living crap out of me if it involves wiping out all her "precious stuff"; and having to reinstall all her favorite games, etc etc etc...

But if the upgrade can be done in a way that keeps all our data and installed programs intact?

Is it actually going to be worth it for me to give up my Friday night to do this? Cause I don't think I'll have time to do it tonight but I just haven't had the time to really look into it until today...

Ah...

Google and MS.com says its July 29th.

Did they change it to the 28th?

Yes, this is Sevenforums.

I am a Windows 7 user.

Hence why I'm here? I thought this was the place for 7 Users to ask their questions?

I'm using 10 in a production environment and think it's great, a few bugs at first but everything works great now.

Why not upgrade and try it, if you don't like it you have 30 days to roll back.

Hi Nyar,
Well as you work for an IT company, you'll possibly know about Acronis or Macrium?, create a system image.
Then take the plunge, it'll certainly make sure you DONT get girlfriend hassle
Either way to get your FREE W10 it needs to be up and running BEFORE the deadline.

Yours could take a fair bit of effort as you've HEAVILY modded it, and it might not be perfect from the go.
