I installed Windows 10 on my travel touchscreen laptop because it has Windows 8.1.
It works OK but my desktop will stay Windows 7 as long as I can.
I feel Win7 is very stable and for most regular users it works well.
How about you?
Will you stay with Win7 and not upgrade?

Hi,
Yep sticking with 7 as well 7 home premium to 10 home is no upgrade
Without group policy 10 is way too annoying for me to deal with
And even 10 pro is still way too annoying.

Most people are still on slow hdd's
If using a ssd there is nothing faster in 10 than 7 or at least is what I've seen :/

Never thought of that. I haven't used a hard drive in so long it slipped my thoughts. Then again we are not talking about adding minutes to a boot even with a hard drive to the best of my memory reading post.

I am staying with Windows 7 and not upgrading to Windows 10 because of this big blunder by Microsoft this October of "accidentally" automatically upgrading Win7/Win8 machines to Win10 without users consent as noted on these articles on these sites: Windows 10 "Accidentally" Appears On Win 7, 8 Computers | TechBeat
I installed Win 10 , then first thing I installed classic shell to make it so I could find everything again ........ Happy with win 10 pro , was a pain to disable the big brother reporting ....

Here's what it will do for you: Give you headaches every second Tuesday of the month. Ensure you have no online privacy anymore. I could think of more, but I've got better things to do. Like explore the web safely on Zorin 9.
But with Microsoft having a virtual monopoly on operating systems, "personal preference" is not usually that well thought-out. Most just go with the flow with minimal thinking. Like they do with politics.
I agree! until 7 reaches the end of its support life where microsoft wont support 7 any longer and or provide windows updates for it any longer I am staying with 7. I tried 10 pro and it just seemed like it caused a lot more problems than it provided solutions for. I also happen to like the 7 "gadgets" on the sidebar which is something 10 obviously lacks. Not to mention within the past few weeks; the 10 startup file(s) went bad because my system would not shut down completely as in turn off completely when i instructed windows to turn the system off mainly and largely I believe because of the fact my mb is technically not 10 compatible. Not just that. When the startup files went bad; it caused me to do several hard shutdowns which in turn corrupted the rest of my hard drive and i had to in turn get a new replacement drive under warranty and because of this I lost everything and obviously had to start clean again which is sorta maddening so to speak for good reason.
Also have a pretty bad speaker setup which is a klipsch promedia 5.1 surround speaker setup with huge subwoofer and lg blu ray player/writer. Also a hp officejet pro 8600 plus wireless all in one and a logitech s7500 webcam.
