Honestly, Windows 7 works fine overall, but 10 is the better choice. It’ll receive updates, both positive and negative.
Go for Windows 10 unless there's a specific reason you want to go for an older OS. All of the new features are being brought to Windows 10 and MS is kind of leaving previous versions behind more so than they normally do.
Completely different. I favor version 8.1, strongly dislike 10 with unwavering dislike. It constantly prompts restarts and updates, even while working—even Luke experienced this on the network once. It also performs extensive data mining, which isn't a priority for most users. Additionally, it automatically adds default apps that can't be removed easily; the only way to delete them was through complicated file ownership steps, and they reappeared within a week. Until such behavior disappears, 10 is not worth my time at all.
Sorry, I forgot I posted this until now... 1. Windows 10 always notifies me to schedule a time to restart and has NEVER restarted my computer for me, so I don't know what that's about. Maybe you guys have it setup differently. 2. I don't care about data mining either. No companies are spying on you personally. All they really look at are the big picture numbers. 3. They don't take up much space. Some of them are actually useful and for those I don't care to use I just leave them alone and install my own program for that function if necessary (e.g. VLC instead of "Movies & TV" and "Groove Music"). It's just not that big a deal. All in all, I have no real objections to Windows 10 and honestly, it is the future, like it or not. The good certainly outweighs the bad and it gets better with each update.
Eventually, leaving it long enough will trigger a restart because the OS won’t let you delay it further. The only solution is to use a metered connection and switch the setting manually when needed—a hassle. This isn’t a major issue on my desktop, but on my old laptop with a 128GB drive it was quite troublesome. Some problems are small, others serious. As someone paying for these OSes, I shouldn’t have to deal with such cumbersome fixes. With Windows 8.1 I don’t need to, which is why I keep using it. That’s the main point. It’s not about not finding workarounds; I actually found many myself during alpha/beta, but I realized I wanted a smooth product that works without extra steps for my needs.
