>>I have Windows 10 at home and Win7 at work. I prefer Windows 7. My home machine, a Dell, has gone through all the upgrades from Win7 to Win10 via 8 and 8.1. It was a nightmare. I often had to do image restores. I was on the phone for a whole day with MS (Win8 era) regarding the fact that my Updates were not working at all. Solution: re-install.

Gregory, do you mainly use Windows 10 for your development machine now?

Some of the problems I had would most likely have led to a loss of data if it had been on my development machine..... as I had accidently left Windows 10 Update on which I usually turn off. It downloaded Windows Anniversary Update and pretty much everything was gone - all stuffed into an old Windows.old folder I assume. Anyway, when I started the computer the next morning it took a few hours to get past all the updates - which I had no idea which ones - and then finally when Windows was up and running it had upgraded to Windows Anniversary as a fresh install - everything was set back to like a new computer.

I is the Windows 10 you have that is "fine" an upgrade or did it come with Windows 10 pre-installed?
