Except after some date in the not too distant
future, upgrade to Windows 10 will not be free but
cost $100 or so.
I've updated three PCs and two Macs (via BootCamp)
from Win 7 to Win 10 and I'm very pleased with the
new OS.
No need for the Classic Shell approach I needed on
my one Win 8.1 machine.

I work at a large corporation that generally keeps the technology reasonably
current and we are still standardized on Win 7 Enterprise. I have not run into
any apps that are supported on Win 10 and not supported on Win 7. The drive to
upgrade has significantly decreased. That is why the upgrade nags were
implemented. People are not seeing the need to upgrade.

Do you guys prefer Win 7 or 10 for Ham radio apps.
I have a 6-year old Dell tower for my business and personal use and a
3-year old Dell laptop for my ham radio use. Both of them run Win 7 Pro
64 bit.
I tried "upgrading" the laptop to Win 10. Too much effort on defusing
all of the nasty Microsoft "call home" stuff and auto-updating (I prefer
to see and review each and every "patch" before letting it run). Even
with ClassicShell (which I use on all of my computers) I could not get
Win 10 to look and behave the way I wanted. I had to re-install Win 7
on the laptop because it was beyond the 30-day "easy rollback" period
and fortunately I had the "reinstall media" from Dell.
Bottom line - I am sticking to Win 7 as long as I have those computers
and when either needs replacing I will order new ones with Win 7
installed (not-so-secret that one can still do it if one is a good
customer of the supplier).
