Among other things, since I haven't seriously run any version of Windows since XP.
I downloaded the free VirtualBox guest OS from Microsoft and contemplated installing it as a guest OS.
Then, in addition to what I was told on the forum I learned:
1) Win10 won't run well or at all on legacy hardware, which may lack sufficient RAM, CPU speed or Win10 may lack compatible drivers.
2) And this next reason I find typical of Microsoft's ethics and business practices: they've implemented a P2P upgrade feature in which, after they upgrade your machine they use your machine as a server to serve updates to other users. One user measured 35GB of updates sent from his machine in two weeks. There is a way to block P2P while still getting updates from MS servers, described here .
