Should i upgrade to windows 10?

[AnderssonT]

Hello, i'm currently using windows 7 and have been doing that since 2009. I'm 17 and mostly use my pc for gaming and video editing. I like playing games that might not be compatible with windows 10 and that's my biggest concern. But is there ways i can get them working for W10? i know fallout 3 had issues with windows 8 so i'm not sure i will be able to get it to work with W10.
And if i upgrade from windows 7 to 10 will my windows 7 key be ''converted'' to a windows 10 one or can i get windows 7 again if i don't like windows 10?

Your Win 7 key will be consumed in the Upgrade to Win 10. You can rollback to your original Win 7, within 30 days.

I think most popular games would have work arounds by now

Windows 10 has been optimized for gaming, so I think it should be good if that's one of your primary uses.

One thing to keep in mind is that they add some new features like System Images. I wouldn't rely on these.

I waited till a few days ago to upgrade from 7 to 10, and I'm actually glad I upgraded, you won't be disappointed it's not bad at all

Okey so if i upgrade and i'm not satisfied i can roll back to 7 within 30 days? And is it close to windows 7? or does it have that windows ''phone'' feeling that 8 had?

Yes, within 30 days.
And it is a LOT closer to Win 7 look and feel than 8 was, even 8.1 defaulting to Desktop.

You never need to see the Metro interface unless you really want to.

Okay i'm pretty sure i'll try it out. Oh and i've heard windows 10 has some ''spying'' feature. Windows 7 got it aswell but i just removed those updates but not sure how i fell about that. And will my documents and such get deleted in the upgrade?

Choose the correct options when you Upgrade, and nothing will be deleted.

It only reminds you its not 7 when you look in settings and the start menu, everything else is about the same.
