In the long run, buying Retail W10 Home edition, which is quite enough for 90% users, may be a good investment since MS is not planning for W11 (or whatever they might call next version) for long time and retail version can be used on any future HW upgrade.
Except I'm not 90% of users, so not a good investment, if 90% of users spend $500 on a CPU and $300 odd dollars on a video card then I'm 90% of users, if 90% of users have got around 8 computers and tablets running Windows 10 okay I'm in the 90%, but I don't think I'm in the 90%.
All I want is a fair deal considering the amount of money I've spent on Windows and Windows 10, but I'm not expecting that, I expect they'll tell me to buy another licence on top of the roughly ten I've already got.
I didn't ask them to make a new operating system, my computers were running perfectly well before Windows 10, they're the ones forcing people to upgrade. I would have been perfectly happy to keep on running Windows 8.1.
I have always paid for all my operating systems since DOS and Windows 3.1, I think MS has done pretty well out of me, I even bought 2 original Surfaces which everyone hated, I also bought a Surface 3 and a Surface Pro 4.
I have plenty of licenses, I can quite easily go back to Windows 7 or 8 and start all over, I don't have a key for Windows 10, that is all.
