I have a laptop for a particular application that has to use MS windows. 
It is now running on Win7. I've been resisting the move to W10, despite 
the constant nagging of the MS 'helpful' notices. This is a production 
computer and interfaces with the government frequently.

Should I bite the bullet and switch to W10? I'm afraid the government 
might force me switch some day, and it'll surely be after the free 
switchover window is closed.

Any thoughts?

John.
