I wonder about Windows 10....over the last 2 decades, every time they have come out with a new version of Windows, we either had to buy a new computer or buy the new versions for a couple hundred dollars to get it...this is free and they are just shoving it down our throats, via pop ups and constant reminders. It makes me wonder. Why would they offer for free something that in the past, they made tons of money from? The previous posters that said it has the ability to track you makes sense. It just bothers me that they are so aggressive with their "nudging" to download it. I am staying away from it..just smells to me.

I've been wondering about that prompt - it is relentless. I love Windows 7 and really don't want to change. I'm in the market for a new laptop and have been looking specifically at older (but new) models that still have 7.

Alot of our techs here have upgraded and haven't had any issues. We did it mainly because it allows us to try things before upgrading our pcs. We are now in the process of replacing 1000's of pc because xp is no longer supported and most can't be upgraded for the newer version with the old hardware. We aren't offering support yet because we have to have all of our vendors compatible before we use it but have told them so far, no problems
