On this page, you’ll find reasons why you should still use the free update on Windows 10.
Reason 1: It's simple and free of charge
This reason is obviously obvious. Needless to say, free of charge does not always have to be good. But on the previous page, we have summarized that hardly anything speaks against Windows 10 - unless the computer or important software do not participate. Anyone who misses the update deadline and needs a current Windows system sooner or later will have to pay. And Microsoft's Windows 10 is not cheap. For the home variant 135 and for the pro variant 280 euros are due. This could be a crucial budget for a more powerful CPU or graphics card, more disk space, and more. Online there will be OEM and other licenses from 60 to 70 euros - that could also be 16 GB DDR4 RAM.
Reason 2 for Windows 10: Security and Updates
Microsoft will devote the most attention to Windows 10. Although Windows 7 is clearly ahead in terms of user numbers. But it is steadily getting older and will at some time get the problem of Windows XP: the architecture will be outdated and will not be fully protected with reasonable effort. Although Microsoft for Windows 7 still provides security updates until 2019, these three years will be faster than they think. Just think back - many have learned to love and appreciate Windows XP. But suddenly the life was at 14 years - and XP offered modern Trojans, viruses and other malware hardly counter-defense. Windows 8 and 8.1 are barely common, the numbers are steadily declining - Microsoft could probably pull the plug, and it would probably be hard to remember ;-)
Reason 3: Backup free update without hardware binding
In the United States software may not be linked to the hardware. It must be possible to resell used software. Since Windows 8, the issue of hardware binding is unclear. But with the Anniversary Update, which will be released for Windows 10 on August 2, 2017, it will be different. Microsoft will provide a way to reactivate Windows 10 with new hardware more easily.
Reason 4: No alternative for power users and gamers
Therefore, you could theoretically proceed as follows: By Friday you can secure a license for Windows 10 with this trick. Simply pair this license with a Microsoft account and write down your license key for the future. Then jump back to Windows 7 and upgrade if your PC or laptop in your eyes is modern enough and ready for it. If necessary, a call to Microsoft support helps if the PC can not be activated later. However, we can not guarantee a successful procedure, as described here. We refer to the legal situation and the references in the linked guide.
New processors will require Windows 10. Intel's next generation, codenamed Kaby Lake, Bristol Ridge at AMD, and the Qualcomm 8996 (Snapdragon 820) will not be able to fully exploit its predecessors. Under certain circumstances, performance breaks and other problems may occur. Systems with Skylake will by the way benefit with the Anniversary Update of Speed Shift. A more accurate, dynamic up / down clock ensures more efficient work - in the end, this means that already available processors only work optimally under Windows 10.
Windows 10 brings support for DirectX 12, and services are connected to the Xbox. As a PC gamers, virtually no way passes Windows 10. The new graphics cards from Nvidia and AMD support DirectX 12, enabling them to get more performance in the future. If you upgrade your PC with a current graphics card, practically does not use graphics power when it is still using Windows 7 or 8.1. This is practically like buying a sports car, but simply disabling the highest gear for the highway. Would you do that?
