Is Windows 10 worth getting right now?

Have had windows 10 since release and no incompatabilities at all on anything.

7 is better than 8 or 10 imo, but I would upgrade if you have 8. I haven't been having problems since I reinstalled.

I would wait until the last moment. It runs well especially if you have less memory, but it's still heavily unfinished. Dunno how about compatibilty ni W10, but W8/8.1 had lots of compatibility issues even with newer games.

Especially if you can still upgrade to 10 for free, it's worth doing now. Even if you have to go back to 7 later because of compatibility (which I've had none, I haven't played my Sierra collections in a while but I usually run them in DOSBOX so it isolates the game from the core OS anyway), you'd have your free 10 license on that PC. If you're running Win 8 right now, you're most likely doing yourself a favor moving to 10.

Yes.

If you're running windows 8/8.1 I suggest you upgrade, I've used windows 8 since launch and am using windows 10 now since launch too, and up until now I haven't found anything good in windows 8 that 10 don't have better.
If your main issue is incompatibility windows 7 is probably the best choice, but if it's not an option 10 is still better than 8 at it.

Edit:
Remembered something that I think it's worth mention.
When I upgraded from 8 to 10 I used the option to keep my files (even tought I know wasn't the best choice, but was too lazy to make a backup at that moment), and after that I experienced some issues with drivers and some other minor bugs. They all have disappeared after I made a clean install of windows 10, some friends had the same problem as me but some other didn't have any problems so it's very situational.

Definitely. Also anything from GOG is going to work on 10 no problem.

Windows 10 is based on Windows 7 & 8, so in many aspects it's extremely similar to them. Compatibly wise it shouldn't make much difference whether you use windows 7,8 or 10 since they haven't changed much in that aspect (they don't really care about running old programs). Whatever changes they did make (I'm uncertain whether they did) Windows 10 is more likely to act like Windows 8. The biggest reasons why I wouldn't recommend Windows 10 is because they take even more control away from the user and make decisions for you (e.g. security and update options) and they collect your information (similar to google and facebook). In most regards Windows 10 behaves a lot like Windows 8 or even 7, so it's neither better or worse when it comes to compatibility.

Wow, funny timing, I just upgraded my Windows 7 to windows 10 earlier TODAY.
My hard drive was failing and I figured since I was backing up everything, I might as well clean some things up. So I loaded Win7 on a blank drive and then upgraded to Win10. It's not too bad. There are a lot of privacy settings that you might want to opt out of, I would recommend checking out what people have said about the various settings. All day today I've been installing programs and restoring my data, and so far no issues. If you want to upgrade, you still have another couple months to get it for free, if you wait until after that you'll need to pay.

As noted, if you're using 7, you're fine. 10 seems to more or less be a direct upgrade of 8, however, so generally the advice there is to upgrade.

There are no (working) drivers for my onboard sound and my onboard Ethernet port bounces like crazy since the upgrade but my motherboard's so old, there are stories of the same thing happening to folks upgrading to Windows 8 when it first came out, so your mileage may vary.

Haven't had any issues with games yet though!

go for 8.1 pro. not SSaS, subscription, and possible future advertisments included

You know there is a compatible mode, right?

Only reason that I have is that my friend upgraded to win10 and he have fps problems and crashes on some games.
But he likes Win10 because he says that " Compared to Win8 it's faster in launching .exe's bla bla" :D

10 is a better version of 7
i never had any problems in 10
faster startup, online support, and easy application you dont need to type it on google or other search engines

I just never liked windows 8.1 so I upgraded to 10 and I'm really happy with it so far. Escpecially now that I can run old GTA games. I had many games that were unresponsive in 8.1 but they all starts fine in 10 :)

Installed King's Quest 7+8 for you and came baring mixed news. 7 works right out of bat, no problems. 8 crashes, tried some compatibility and stuff, still crashes :(

No
If you mean the "free" upgrade.
If you change your hardware (mobo) the key no longer works. So, new laptop mean buying a new OS licence.
If you have old games and programmes don't assume they'll work any more.

I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'm using it on my laptop for school (which I use a lot) and so far I've not really found any issues with it. I've not upgraded my gaming pc though.

I keep my W7, because I regularly see that W10 has problems with older games on Steam. Frequent problem in negative Steam reviews.
