Should you upgrade to what Microsoft has called the last version of Windows?
Microsoft famously described Windows 10 as "the last version of Windows".
Unlike its predecessors, Windows 10 isn't expected to be superseded by a new release but rather upgraded over time, with Microsoft bolting on new features via regular updates - which home users won't be able to refuse.
That means even if you don't like Windows 10 now it should get better over time. That's good news - as, at present, Windows 10 seems more like an operating system with promise, rather than a must-have.
Of course, many of these criticisms should be tempered by the fact Windows 10 is free to the vast majority of users. As widely covered, anyone running Windows 7 or 8.1 will qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 10, which, providing they meet the system requirements, will be available via Windows Update
