Win7 Upgrade Consideration?

Anyone exploring the possibilities of moving from Win7 to Win10 upon release.
Anyone with experience with Win10 can share insights for Win7 users - probably
done before, but haven't seen much lately (mainly just Win8 to Win10).

Thanks

I'm evaluating Win10 and believe it will be well received.

If you want the Win8 "tiles" you can get them, but if you prefer a
classic GUI similar to Win7, it's there by default.

Since Win7 is still supported I don't see any real reason to upgrade.

Thanks for the reply. I'm a Win7 User, not Win8, so was looking more for
comparison to Win7. I read earlier that MS decided to retain the Win7 GUI in
Win10, which is great! But, was wondering what advancements were being offered
to prompt Win7 users to moved when Win10 is released.

But, again, thanks for your reply.

Just as a matter of interest I upgraded* (if thats the word) to the new 10
from 7 - worked grand I have to say...

But I blue screened it myself. Thats a hobby of mine, stressing boxes, its
fine now cos I actually own the win7 disc which I bought during a special on
a Software for Students deal

This was a 3yr old box might even be 4 yr old, 3gig ram, dual CPU E2180
@2ghz

OK there was nothing else much running and I didn't have time to stuff the
registry with add and remove shtuff :-)

When 10 is a Final Release I think I might go for it - if I don't go Apple
instead :-)

Cheers

If you have spare hard drives, you can test the Windows 10 Preview
for yourself.

It's the blue part of this photo. The live tile part on the
right portion of the Menu, can be removed, one tile at a time.
The shutdown icon, is the tiny thing near the top center of the
menu.

The only reason I've ever upgraded or changed operating systems is:


1) Lack of support

2) The new OS will do something better



Though my main operating system now is Linux...I still do use Windows
from time to time...and Win7 does absolutely everything I need so do not
use Win8 or Win10 other than for testing purposes.

The OP replied to you with "I'm a Win7 User, not Win8...", so I was just
pointing out to the OP that you had explicitly recognized that he has
Win7.
