If you are running Windows 8 and like it I would not hesitate for a moment to upgrade to Windows 10. If your Windows 7 it will be more of an adjustment.
No matter what you end up deciding, be sure to take a full backup of all your data and take a system image as well before you run the upgrade. This ensures you have a way to roll back to your former system if anything goes wrong or if the built-in Win10 roll back option, which you have for 30 days after upgrading, doesn't work.

Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows from Microsoft. This is a free upgrade for consumers running Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1. This is not a mandatory upgrade, but it is highly recommended by Microsoft. The Windows 10 upgrade is free until July 29. 2016. After this, Windows 10 will be $119 for the Home version, or $199 for the Pro version.
