Should we upgrade to Windows 10?

I will never upgrade to windows 10. On Video Editing beast of a computer, it runs windows 7, this computer I am on runs windows 8, and is not upgrade-able in any way and the laptop hooked to our TV, which supplies all of our entertainment needs with KODI is windows 10. The reason my Video editing beast Desktop, with 4 fan, 4 2 TB HD running Raid 5, a 2 GB Graphics card and a surround Sound Audio card installed, on a 64 Bit motherboard, will stay win 7 forever, because this equipment will not run windows 10

NEVER!!!
Microsoft isn't even that smart with windows 10. when I upgraded to windows 10 my games were running like ****. I had more networking problems. its full of spyware. even if you disable the spyware there is probably a back door where it can still spy on you. luckily I downgraded. I built a computer and I went to best buy to get windows 8.1 but all they had was windows 10. so it seems like Microsoft is trying to get rid of windows 7,8,8.1. I used media creation tool to install windows 10 on a thumbdrive for free and guess what? now the computer I built is screwed up cause windows 10 wont install I just get an error when I turn it on and it restarts everytime I get that error. I asked the Microsoft community what to do but they assumed it had an operating system when I CLEARLY EXPLAIED I BUILT AND IT HAD NO OPERATING SYSTEM...YET. and when I upgraded to 10 they had no idea what I was talking about when I explained that my games now were lagging and had more framerate issues but they had no idea what I meant. They gave me an answer and I did what they said but of course it didn't fix the problem.

You can upgrade and get Windows 10 activated on your computer, then before 30 days is up, return to your original Windows OS with Windows 10 installed and ready to go within a year ( for free ), when you no longer have support for your current Windows operating system or are ready for the change. Just remember, you'll have only the one year to get Windows 10 back for free.

They upgrade to windows10 pro, windows 10 has added more unnecessary graphics which slows down whole functions some office utilities are good but upgrade is not to the professional version.

If your computer is compatible with Windows 10, I don't see any reason not to. But it's VERY crucial that you make sure yours is compatible first. There are 1000s of issues here on YA you can see where the users are stuck with computers that have device hardware incompatibility with Win 10. Device hardware incompatibility is not uncommon when changing operating systems. But it is rampant with Win 10. Motherboards, chipsets, audio cards, video cards, some printers, some scanners, wireless keyboard, wireless mouse - these are the ones that have the most issues. Just check the manufacturer website for each of your models and see if it's compatible and if not if there is a Win 10 driver you need to install.
