I put windows 10 on my desktop and I wish I would have stayed with windows 7. windows ten is very annoying and loaded little glitches. I have windows 7 on my laptop and it's far more trouble free and reliable than windows 10. My advice is don't do it yet.
Is that because Windows 10 has problems, or because your computer had problems before the upgrade that got exposed, or because you didn't do the upgrade properly?
Most people that have problems with Windows 10 have them because of their own issues, not because of Windows 10 itself. Many of us that have been in the industry since before Windows existed are not having significant issues.
All tech has issues, but Windows 10 is very impressive for how few real issues there actually are, and solutions are well documented. Computers are very complicated things these days, and if you don't know what you are doing it can lead to problems.
Apple iphones are one of the most locked down environments out there, and iOS is a mess right now on older iPhones like the 4S. Far worse than Windows 10.
Perhaps you should be willing to spend to the money to take your computer to the shop, as you do with your vehicles, unless you are really sure of your capabilities in this arena.
A clean install takes effort, but is the best way, and it's impressive how many old pieces of software and old peripherals can be made to work with a little diligence, even stuff that is over ten years old. Some of my software is twenty years old and still works as expected.
A major upgrade does take effort, but Windows 10 does the job pretty well, especially with a clean install after the first upgrade. It is free now, it won't be for much longer, and it won't get any easier than it is now. Even if you buy a new machine, you still need to learn how to configure it, use it, and transfer your applications and data.
There is no free lunch!
