Reply to "Convert Windows 7 to Windows 10? Is it desirable?"

Interesting comments, thank you.

I am doing nearly all of my desk top work on a tiny linux machine which I got 3 years ago, but it only has a 128GB SSD. This is now full of measurement files and emails so I have to do something. I do have an old XP machine connected over my network which I can switch on and certainly store some stuff there but it is awkward and also slow just like my external USB hard disc back up storage. I still do occasionally need windows for specific programs which I cant get to run under wine on linux, but since MS stopped supporting it I dont use the XP computer for web browsing or other potentially risky things.

A family member has just bought a windows 10 laptop, but is completely frustrated so they are now going to buy a refurbished windows 7 laptop. This means there is the windows 10 laptop looking for use. I think it is really time to take the plunge and set it up to take over my XP computer's functions.
