My view is that if you *want* Win 10, go for it. However, if you
decide that you can live without things like Cortana or Windows Ink,
wait until you decide you're ready for a new machine. Remember Win 10

"Remember Win 10 support will continue until sometime in 2020."
PEBCAK on my part. I had meant to say that Win 7 goes through 2020.
Windows 10 end-of-life is currently October 2025. But don't be surprised
if it is a "subscription service" by then. Pay every year.
Yep.
So far, Microsoft has been promoting Win 10 as essentially a "rolling
release", and marketing insists that Win 10 will be the "last release of
Windows". They also insist that a Windows license will be good for the
life of the machine, although tied to the machine itself, and not
transferable to another machine, whether it's an OEM license or not.
It wouldn't surprise me if they figure out a way of doing Windows as a
paid subscription service, although it's likely they would do something
that's essentially a grandfathering, where installations already in
service would be exempt, but where new installations would have a
slightly different licensing, one that requires periodic payment.
