Im not really a person that gets in the way of progress

Good morning Leaned gentlemen of windows 10 knowledge.    I got to thinking with the impending shut down of the free window 10 free download i got to rethinking if maybe i should get with it.  my only concern is ive always had the feeling that when i used windows 10 before it seems i had issue downloading and playing certain games, especially my Mass Effect games, ane and all my Fall Out games 1 thru New Vegas, and my Witcher Games 1 & 2, they see, to be laggy when they wasnt while on playing windows 7.  Am i dreaming or Windows 10 drivers dont play well with game files of that era, if im crazy ill go ahead and switch cause "a times they are a comin" and im not one to get in the way of progress.  Let me hear your thoughts and opinions please.  thans and again good mornong to you all.

 There's nothing wrong with Windows 10, but then again there's nothing wrong with 7 either.  Like most folks, I don't like the Windows 8.1 user interface, but 8.1 is fine if you add the free Classic Shell.  7 is supported until 2020 and 8.1 until 2023.  By then you'll probably want/need to buy a new computer with 10 pre-installed.  So the bottom line is that there's no compelling reason to do anything; it's a matter of personal choice.  If what you have is working fine for you, I'd practice the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy.

 Good luck.

The question is "Will you need a copy of W10 before it's time to buy a new computer?"

If yes, then get it now.

If no, then don't bother with it.

  I'd practice the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy.

 

 Good luck.

Good advice.  I have XP on a couple older machines and 98SE on an even older one.  They work for what I need to do.  In a box I also have an old XT clone with DOS 5.1 and in another box I have a Timex-Sinclair 1000 (with 16K memory module), these two no longer work for what I need to do.
