Yes, I belive it's worth the upgrade, take it from a windows 10 insider!
If you're planning an upgrade, it's best to perform a fresh installation as quickly as possible. My Windows 8.1 setup was quite unstable, and even after upgrading to Windows 10, I kept encountering many Blue Screens of Death. I eventually went back to 8.1, but that didn't resolve the issues. I refreshed the install now—it's more reliable, though it's still not perfect. I haven't done a clean install on my current PC because I'm about to build a completely new system in a few days.
After the upgrade suggestion, consider performing a fresh installation to resolve possible driver conflicts that might trigger BSODs. Remember to obtain a backup of your drivers before proceeding with the clean install, especially if your system starts without a working network connection. Ensure the upgrade is completed first and verify it’s enabled before starting the clean install.
Privacy? What does that mean? In today's world privacy feels like a dream. To the extent it exists, Windows 10, by default, shares anonymous data with services that track your activities—like what you use your computer for and your online behavior. This helps Microsoft keep costs low. You can adjust settings to enhance your privacy if you wish. It’s surprisingly simple, and some users have managed to start up it on older systems such as Pentium III with 256MB of RAM.
