I’m happy with it. The edge browser still leaves much to be desired but overall other than a few minor annoyances I’m happy. I like it much better than Windows 8 which I skipped for my home desktop since I didn’t see the point.

Windows 10 is much better than 8 (not a hard feat) but I still prefer 7.

I note that the version 7 share is still almost 3 times the combined share of its successors. If people switch, it may only be because Microsoft forces them to, or because they abandon Windows altogether.

I wish they would stop harassing me to upgrade to 10. I just bought a new Windows 7 PRO system over the summer and have no intention of EVER upgrading.I want windows 7. That is why I bought this machine and not a Windows 8.

I installed the W10 update on my Dell laptop and it worked quite well, much better than W8. However, when I attempted to do the same on my Dell desktop, it froze after installing. Had to reinstall W7.

I have an extra hard drive for my desktop and upgraded its Win7 to Win10.

I didn’t care for Win10 at all. The UI makes the program windows difficult to read. Small slidebars are invisible until one moves the curser, and they are very narrow.

I have Win7 on another hard drive and prefer it.

My laptop is also Win7.

If MS ever returns the classic theme UI, I will consider Win10. Until then, MS/Win10 can go suck eggs.

I like Windows 10. It’s not a bloated resource hog like Vista was and it seemed to take what was good in Win7 and Win8.

I know people have mentioned the spying and tracking stuff in Win10, but it hasn’t bothered me.

Win 7 is much better when you look at the event viewer errors on win 10 that are too numerous to count on all my pc’s, even the new one that came with win 10 installed. Frequently the win 10 new pc requires restarting to get rid of freezes, glitches etc. The browser is much slower on the web.

However, we love the apps and ability to use touch screens etc. So if we pretend we don’t know anything about computers other than turning them on and off, we are in good shape.

Pretty weak after trying so hard to give it away.

I HATE Windows 10. The default install demands COMPLETE access to ALL digital work, including hard drive, cloud and all messages. It the Russian communists had had this technology in the late 70’s, they would control the world today. Took me an hour to locate the opt-out, in tiny print at the bottom of the screen. And I don't like the way it runs, either.

Let’s assume that one upgrades to Win10 then hates it. Is it possible to uninstall Win10 and seamlessly go back to Win7?

Those stealth upgrades must really help.
