I am rather (in some cases - very) conservative about upgrading OSes.
And with Windows, I've skipped several versions of Windows that I thought,
or they turned out to be inferior. (Win ME, Vista, 8.x)
But those versions that I've used, were ok, despite the changes people
have complained about.
Most humans have comfort in habitual behavior. New versions are
disruptive, but it doesn't mean that they do not have improvements over
the previous ones...
Win-10 is a big "tic" (in the "tic-toc") - in the way the UI and UX is
designed. Starting from 8.x, Microsoft has been making a shift toward
"app" model, similar to Android and iPhone ideas.
But they kept (after the complaints with 8.0) possibility to keep the
"standard" desktop UI.
With _every_ version/installation, I have to "tune" Windows, as the
default settings are not for me. With Win-10 I had to do many more tweeks,
as they've introduced new things related to privacy and information
collection that I had to override. There are webpages (you can google
them) that give reasonable advice on what should be changed.
But with all of that, I haven't had much of a problem with Win10, and I've
installed/configured it on 2 different computers.
And yes, it is working on 4GB of RAM, and even with LR/PS, at least until
I open too many programs and browser windows at once.
Yes, with each version of Windows, you loose ability of running some
outdated software. It's a pity, but that's the reality, almost similar to
the facts that hurricanes and tornados, and even seasons happen,
regardless us disliking or liking them them.
And, btw, it would've been even more if it were British ton (aka long ton)
as opposed to the metric one! ;-)
Cheers,
Igor

I had problems "upgrading" to Win10 *period*; bad enough I will NEVER
use it.
On this computer it bogged down like shit. Plus it loaded a Metric Ton
of *SHITWARE* and every time I tried to launch the applications I use,
Windows 10 would launch one of its built in *SHITWARE* applications
instead and try to force me to switch to it. And I couldn't make that go
away.
