Windows 10 Benefits: 2 PCs, Upgrading from Win 7

Click For Summary
Upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 offers enhanced security features and ongoing support from Microsoft, but users express concerns about forced updates and privacy issues. Many report hardware compatibility problems, such as unrecognized printers and driver issues, which can hinder functionality. While some users appreciate the improved performance and DirectX 12 support for gaming, others find the user experience frustrating and reminiscent of earlier Windows versions. There are also discussions about the option to use a local account to mitigate data collection by Microsoft. Overall, opinions on Windows 10 are mixed, with some users opting for alternatives like Linux due to dissatisfaction with the new operating system.

Windows 10 is fine for most things*,

* Most things meaning you aren't tech/computer savvy and have zero desire on managing your own system. It's incredibly horrible for the IT professional who has managed their own systems for the last 20 years.

I've no desire to manage my system nor am i computer savvy.

I do however get outraged when Windows 10 sneaks in a night and moves stuff on me, changes interfaces, changes passwords, hides my files, renames folders,
butts in uninvited to anything I'm doing
spies on me and reports

in short takes over:
to borrow a phrase from history
Never Again !
