Should you upgrade from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10?

Question

Windows

A licensed copy of Windows 7 is installed. Is it possible to upgrade to 10? Is there any reason? Microsoft services are not required. Office only. But I also have a licensed 2010 Professional.

Answer 1

Look at the lists of major innovations in 8, 8.1 and 10 and decide if you need them or not. If you absolutely need it, feel free to update. If not, you won’t lose anything in the foreseeable future by staying at 7. Save time on the next relearning of the interface.

Answer 2

In short:
Virtual desktops out of the box
Splitting the screen under windows into several parts. For example, a browser on the left, something else on the right. By resizing the browser, “something else” will also resize
Scrolling in inactive windows/controls
Sharing between apps
Universal apps

Answer 3

what annoys me personally in 10k
is a bullshit calculator that is also "loaded" !!!
does not work without UAC (like the whole store) + is not called by hotkey in the launch shortcut (decided by replacing it with an old calculator from 8ki) for the first time, and if you check the box do not close the windows, it gets stupid like everyone else
- the taskbar small icons are wildly annoying
- personalization is just to choose your color - figs, here's a set of colors that are either too dark or too bright, you get too contrasting design, which is even unpleasant on a monitor with low brightness
- poor backup after winserver
- a lot of glitches - dotnatfh devpack does not want to get up on a system a month old in which nothing really was put, system restore suddenly cut off, dead edge, vov did not want to start due to the UAC work curve, the game from steam ends without an error at all.
- two control panels that are not interchangeable
- insane operation of the paging file - a lot of recording with 16 GB of RAM - after a simple walk through the corresponding menu everything returned to normal
such "jokes" since XP without a service pack I don't remember

Answer 4

Programmer's rule: "It works - don't touch it!"
The system is still raw and there are a lot of errors and problems in it, if you use a PC only for office work and reliability is more important for you, then I would recommend working on Windows 7.
