You still have about 7 weeks for free upgrade.
This computer is a new build. I do run Win 7 Pro x64 on my business computer but I don't want to give that up for Win 10. I still am not crazy about going with 10 but support for 7 will end in a few years and for a dedicated camera system 10 should be fine.

After my experience with Windows 8 I was hesitant to move to Windows 10. REAL HESITANT. Fenderman told me "stop whining, install Win10 and Classic Shell, and be done with it." I should have listened. I finally made the move from Win 7 to Win10 and I don't regret it. Classic Shell makes the move relatively seamless and 10 feels faster to me than both 7 (and 8). I've upgraded all of our office workstations now and our users have said stuff like "I love it," which is a phrase I've never heard with regards to a Windows OS upgrade. One thing: Microsoft followed the herd; the default installation destroys your privacy. Do a custom install and read through all of the privacy (or lack thereof) settings, nearly all of which I turn off. Moo.

Moving from 8 or 8.1 is a no brainier, 7 is a little tougher because there is a learning curve.
That's exactly what I wanted to hear. And yes I've read of some of the tweaks on privacy and the classic shell. Heck with 7 I'm running the old XP look and the closer I can stay with that the happier I am. Not much for change. I understand what Bob is saying and don't think I'll have much trouble.
I've also read that after the upgrade MS provides a way to do a clean install. I definitely need to research that more because it means a lot to me.
My two upgrade machines are Win 7 Pro so my understanding is they will upgrade to Pro. On my new build I'm still thinking Home will work fine for a dedicated BI computer??????
thanks for the input

I like windows 10 pro so I can remote desktop into it from my main pc. It does cost a bit more but in my opinion its worth it.
I used this... http://www.mysysadmintips.com/windows/clients/545-multiple-rdp-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows-10 worked for me with Windows 10 home.
Hope this helps!
