Free Windows 10 upgrade ends today - to upgrade or not?

[Candy_Licker]

I'm really late with this, so I'll make it short: to upgrade or not?

I'm using Win 8.1, and despite all the hate it received for the interface, I'm pretty satisfied. It has been absolutely stable, running it for 3 years with no problems.

So traditionally I'm the one who thinks "never change a running system". On the other hand, I could still try out Win 10 and revert back (which I might do)

Key question is: will Directx12 be a thing? Currently not, because it doesn't make a huge difference yet and I don't have a newer gpu anyway. But, who knows what'll be next year.

The other thing is Mircosoft's data hogging. True, everyone does it, and Win8 does it anyway, but I still dislike it.

so, what's your opinion? have you upgraded, are you satisfied with Win 10, will it be important for future gaming?

Nope. Win 7 still works perfectly for me.

I upgraded last year and have been perfectly happy with the system.

[Hetman Khmelnytsky]

No plans to upgrade, planning to do it when I do my new build in three years.

Win10 for gaming is extremely important. Not only for Dx libraries but also for gpu drivers running faster on win10

Upgraded last year and kept getting crashes because my drivers weren't up to date. Uninstalled it and said I'd wait until the free upgrade was ending.

Updating a few weeks ago and had to spend yesterday morning troubleshooting because the same issues were still there and I was getting crashes. It's a better OP but Windows seem slow as hell at actually dealing with issues.
