I'll be moving to 10 sometime after the April update has been properly tested by existing customers. :sneaky:

I'm certainly in no hurry.

Or migrate now, then avoid downloading that update and let everyone test before proceeding. :p

Too much effort to migrate everything, especially considering I'm more than happy with 7 right now. I still consider the move a downgrade at this point.

Well, main reasons I find Windows 10 better:
Ability to scroll without focus on window
Taskbar spanning across desktops
Multiple virtual desktops
Better snapping (since can also select other open apps on the screen to snap to the side of it)
The ability to quick select a bluetooth device for connection (hit win+k)
Faster boot (with an SSD, not that much difference)
Memory compression
Task manager stats improvement (e.g. checking what GPU is being used by an application)
Better clarity when having two different resolution monitors (was in an update in early 2018 I think)

Most of the usability stuff on W10 can be had on W7 with display fusion.

There's no denying Windows 10 has come a really long way since it's initial release, and it's gotten to the point where I'm happily using it on all of my secondary devices.

It just requires a lot of customization to use is as a daily driver, and I'll always prefer the way Windows 7 delivers updates. With Windows 10, you don't have the option "Check for updates, but let me choose which ones to install".
