4. The only reason I wouldn't do it is that you're too busy to deal with a learning curve

I.E. you don't have spare time to take learning some new UI stuff you're not used to vs. W10, and possibly you'll need to grab newer versions of some drivers or software on your machine.

It's really not that different, it's free, and the upgrade is very unlikely to hamper you significantly.

I'm going to do it soon, I know many who've already done it quite seamlessly.

Do it on a Friday night and give yourself the weekend to kinda figure things out and do some updates if needed.

I don't plan on doing any special backups beforehand. It won't touch YOUR files.
