If you are looking to replace a finished , functioning at all levels OS , then NO. You don't want Win 10 yet. It's quick , and it may well end up what 8 was supposed to be , but it isn't ready yet. I never liked 8 or 8.1 , Classic Shell or not. But I'm likely old enough to be slowing down on the newer must be better bandwagon. I never found the 8s to have anything worth leaving Windows 7 for. If I were building a new rig I would probably be looking at W 10 as an OS , but I like fixing things. LOL
