If you built your own desktop under Win 7, it should migrate right along with the rest of your files.

I have had resolution issues with Win 10 and it was a bear to fix. As a result, I run Win 7. The problem was an aberration that came with one of the forced updates.

I do all backups by use of clone SSDs and also have updated one of the clones to Win 10. That assures having no licensing problems in the event of a change to Win 10 in the future.

Is Win 10 friendly? No, I would say it is not as easy to manipulate as Win 7, but that is my preference. Win 10 will attempt to have you only use MS products in your operation and to that purpose, some updates will change your personal program/app selections from your choosing back to their's.

The free version (only version I will use) of HRD performs well on Win 10. I have had issues with drivers on Dell printers, however, have updated to HP and the problem went away. Dell's idea of upgrading drivers is to purchase a new Dell printer. Not acceptable to me.

If you do upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 and don't like it, you can revert back to Win 7. Doing so should protect your licensing rights for a later free upgrade.

Eventually, we will all HAVE to upgrade to Win 10. New software will be written to only operate under Win 10 and the same with new hardware. You will become part of the Borge - one way or the other.
