I get the nag update screen too. Win7Pro here. I'll probably just keep it at Win7Pro though and get a new machine with Win 10 Pro so I can adequately test my apps in both 7 & 10. (No, I don't use VMWare and have multiple M$ licenses with which to apply to said VM.)
VM always sounded like something cool/great but I never got around to implementing it.

No direct experience, just have helped a few clients downgrade to 7 after they were hijacked to 10. I didn't care for 10, I don't see the benefit of 10 (to the user, I see a lot of benefit to MSoft) and at this point I'm willing to pay $130 for a copy of Win 10 'someday' if I ever decide it's the thing to do.
My understanding is that July 31, 2016 is the last day to upgrade for free.
I have a large client, over 250 machines, who wants to upgrade simply due to the economics of not having to purchase 250+ licenses in the future. They reason that "our users are young, they'll adapt." Probably true.
Hope this helps.

So - I'm here on my laptop - and, as usual lately - as I boot up - I get the Dumb Ass Win10 Nag pop-up!
As such - it Begs the question. When does it expire? At which point I have to Pay - which I would rather not.
Although - am also curious as to how Good Win10 is. I know there has been a Lot of Shit talk about Win10. But, since Evil M$ decided to use the Whole World as Beta testers. I suspect that by now most of the Bugs have been worked out.
So - what say you all? Go for it and Upgrade - or should I say F That and just stick with what I have (Win 8.1 on my laptop & Win7 Pro on my Desktop)! Hell - I stuck with WinXP for years on my old Desktop - and things Win2000 Pro for Quite some time - before finally upgrading. As such - I have no problem holding off on this Win10 stuff if its Not dependable.
