If You Don't Like Windows10?
If I try W10 and don't like it, is there any problem reverting back to Win8.1? Thank you.

If you’re used to family members calling you for technical support because they’ve failed to upgrade to the latest Windows service pack or some malware disabled Windows Update then those days will hopefully be over.
Windows 10 updates will be automatic and mandatory, so the OS should act more like Google's Chrome browser.
Google updates Chrome regularly, and everyone gets the latest version once they close the browser or restart their machine.
It keeps everyone up-to-date and secure, and now all Windows 10 users will benefit from the same approach.
Windows 10's forced automatic updates are a good idea
While there are pros you left out the cons. I suspect the author is on a high speed link so data bandwidth and size are not a significant concern. And he may be a Enterprise customer so that he doesn't have to update.
Why do you think that Enterprise customers DO NOT have this requirement? Is it because faulty or incompatible updates could disrupt their business? Sure windows has gotten better but I just finished a 150MB W7 update that was all related to security. And that was not the first this month. It would be great if W10 is a quantum leap in good code but 33 years of MS code doesn't suggest that.
Windows users are concerned over two potential scenarios: forced downloads and faulty updates. Windows 10 will automatically download updates, so those with capped internet connections won’t be able to manage the date downloads are made. Windows 10 updates won’t just be security patches, but they’ll also include feature updates making the download sizes a genuine concern for some. The real worry is over faulty updates, but that’s less of a problem thanks to Microsoft’s "Windows as a service" model. Failed or faulty updates are already very rare, and Microsoft can lean on its 5 million Windows 10 testers to try out updates before they’re distributed more broadly. I can’t remember the last time I had to restore my Windows machine because of a bad patch.
