I -am- quite happy with my Win7 Pro 64.

But at work I run an IT department that is rolling out Win10 by default (because support for 7 disappears in a year and a half) and so I work with 10 all the time. It's okay, I have few issues with it technically, and it performs quite well. I hate the UI, but oh well.

If you thought the "FMCDH" contingent with WinXP was large and noisy, wait until you see the Win7 contingent.

I have a friend who runs a small, local consulting business; he has many business customers.

Shortly after Win 10 came out, one of his customers decided Win 10 was the way to go. My friend advised her against it but she went ahead and used the “upgrade to Win 10 for free” that MSFT offered back then.

Since then this customer is taking up a good deal of his time. Updates are a nightmare for the customer as some updates break some computers but leave others untouched. My friend spends lots and lots of time at this one customer and charges accordingly.

He has written a friendly letter to his other Win 7 business customers advising them if they update to Win 10 he’ll drop them as a customer.

He stays really busy (also does house calls for consumer users), so he’s not real concerned if he loses a couple of business customers.
