[QUOTE="Rick164, post: 1146870, member: 17766"] If you're using it only as an HTPC there's no real reason to upgrade from Windows 7 except maybe losing the dreadful Aero engine, image quality difference is debatable and don't notice the difference if any. Audio and hardware management has improved since 8.1 so there's that, SSD performance has improved because Windows 7 wasn't build with that in mind but for normal HTPC solutions I doubt you will notice it. Microsoft is gonna support Windows 7 till 2020 so plenty of time to get Windows 10 sorted out, currently there are a number of issues that they're still fixing ranging from usability to just poor design choices. Only reason I upgraded to Windows 10 myself because it's an all round machine for gaming / browsing / htpc, otherwise would have stuck with 8.1. [/QUOTE]
