should I upgrade to win 10?
I have a laptop with win 8.1. I am not a heavy user. My old laptop had xp, which I thought was really user friendly. Win 8.1 not so much. If I upgrade from 8.1 to 10, will I see much difference? Is...

I'm with you, still liking my XP desktop. Didn't have 8.1 more than a week so can't speak to any comparison. What I did right away is
-Read Windows 10 For Dummies, cover to cover
-disabled Cortana
-disabled Onedrive
-added shortcuts to my start menu for all my favorites
-added shortcuts for Edge and Chrome to start menu
-removed all uninteresting apps (thats what they call programs now)
-learned how to use touch screen options
If you still want IE it is there just not near the top.
I think if you do the above you will find the transition OK. Once you learn what Cortana and OneDrive are then you can make up your own mind to restart. I haven't.
So far liking Windows 10 as I have it set up.
