I upgraded my Lenovo laptop from Windows 8 to 8.1 over a year ago with little to no problems occurring afterwards (at least not straight away). Won't be upgrading to 10 because of all the reports about users privacy being compromised, although the settings can be changed to supposedly disable things like tracking and targeted advertisements. If you plan on buying a computer in the future you could buy a boxed version of Windows 8.1 whilst copies are still available, I know that 8.1 will receive extended support (security updates) from Microsoft up until 2023. As for Windows 7, certain custom PC vendors such as PC Specialist may still give the option of being able to choose Windows 7 as an installation choice when users decide on what components and software they would like with their customised PC.

Yes. A friend couldn't get the wireless stuff working on his tablet after installing 10, so they downgraded it back to 8.
