I've been through all the versions of Windows over the years and have currently got Win 10 up and running with only a few problems left unsolved. HOWEVER, I can see the future for Windows and I'm not...

I was able to get my 2009 MS OFFICE to work on the faster WIN 10 machines... Did not subscribe to any of the things they wanted me to do... Also don't mess with anything CLOUD haha... So far so good. It screams real good for me... I use Chrome and FIREFOX for browsers... My screens all look like WIN7/WIN8.1
Folks that visit always says I thought you updated to WIN 10 haha...
I syill have my EMAIL program on my older M90 Dell laptop...
The only thing I miss is my drawing programs... Havent figured out a good cheap way to establish all of my drawing files yet. I was living with ADOBE PRO 9 and a couple of on-line free drawing programs... They did not work on the WIN10 platform... They still work on my DELL M90 much slower laptop right now so not totally dead in the water... My AUTOCAD belonged to work so didn't get to keep that when I retired...

Well, I gotta admit I've got Win 10 running on 3 machines and I've had a lot of little problems but nothing I could not overcome.
My interest in Linux stems from Microsoft's intrusiveness. Even though I've gone through and turned off all privacy issues, they still have too much control over my machines. Maybe I'm just paranoid but I can see this going a lot further in the future, along with forcing you to have features you do not want.
Also, there is the cost issue. I change components out frequently and now I've got Win 10 tied to one motherboard. AND, everyday a new security issue pops up. And the list goes on.
I haven't felt in control since DOS...............
