In Reply to: RE: one final question, does everyone hate Windows 10? should I really get Windows 7 instead? posted by Poinzy on March 12, 2016 at 17:40:00:
I wouldn't bother upgrading an existing Windows 7 machine. However, if I were getting a new machine that came with preinstalled Windows, then I would probably go to Windows 10. Just yesterday, Windows Update nagged me to upgrade my Windows 7 system to Windows 10, but after a certain amount of hassle, I think I have blocked any further such nags, at least for the next few weeks.
Do not touch Windows 8 with a ten foot pole. Also, keep in mind that if you get a machine with preinstalled software and then upgrade it, a system recovery that require reset to factory settings will be at least doubly time consuming. Be sure to purchase a new machine that has the operating system you want to run, unless you like to build your own computers.
