I would not go back to Windows 7 or 8 even though MS paid. W10, for me, works perfectly.

Yep, so far a 7 years old Asus laptop, orig. Win7, no problems - but no way update 1703 will install on it.

Pretty sure almost everyone who wanted the freebie took it by now *shrugs*. I'm just surprised they're still charging for home use.
As far as I'm concerned the best version of Win10 isn't freely available so whatever 😉

Windows 10 is the best OS till date. Just rich freaks with overpowered rigs HDR and these nonessential gimmicks or alien eyes see stuttering or non working features only. For an average peasant like me, Windows 10 are fast, reliable and smooth. Tons better than 7/8/8.1. I could never get back. I am glad MS stopped free upgrades, because I feel an idiot for paying full price for my OS and gambled for next gen OS.

Windows 10 working fine on a couple of old laptops I've installed it on (& updated to latest Fall Creators Update too): Alienware M17xR3 (i7-2920XM) & Dell Inspiron 17 (i5 Sandybridge from yr 2011). I've found Windows 10 to be a more responsive & snappy OS than Windows 7 on these laptops.

I5 2500k/ Gigabyte m/b / 8GB mem /R9 290. With all the supposed flaws I wouldn't go back to 7 . The only real issue I had, very rare, was with drivers and I can't blame that on M$.
Privacy wise you can hear all the time about companies being hacked and details stolen etc, so in my opinion the only way to stay private these days is to unplug your Ethernet cable or turn off wifi.
