Should I upgrade to Windows 10?

In spite of snide comments like this, many people do have a concern. By default Windows 10 collects data on usage and user behavior. If you see this as a privacy issue you can disable much of it.

I don't understand the comment about security issues.

What the OP is likely concerned about is the collection of personal data and that's not taking place. It's only use telemetry.

I am not a fan of Windows 10 (not just the privacy thing, but other reasons), I like 7 and 8 (with a 3rd party menu).

However, if you upgrade you can try it for awhile (1 month) before the upgrade is permanent. It has a restore to previous version option available and works without a hitch. If you go beyond the 1 month then you will have to reinstall your old Windows 7, via disk or OEM disks, if I am not mistaken.

Not really true, you could make a complete image backup, before upgrading to Windows 10, then go back to your old OS anytime you want. :)

I would not use Windows to make that image backup thou. Use a free program like Macrium Reflect to make your complete image backup.
