I think with these kinds of things it's more important to have a reason TO switch than to have a specific reason not to.
I haven't found any reason to. The performance meme gets thrown at me a lot but my system benches just as well as w10 machines with the same hardware. Meh.
There's also the security argument but they wouldn't need to release security updates so often if the os wasn't swiss cheese where the holes are intentional back doors and vulnerabilities that Microsoft needs to keep out of reach of hackers in an eternal game of keep-away.
@OP if you have monthly internet caps that's already good enough reason to stay away from 10. Microsoft has no respect for those and have been known to screw 10 users with caps over in the past so I'd just avoid even the possibility of it happening.
Ok reasons to switch, direct x12, New features, virtual desktops, Bash through windows, PC game DVR for
xbox users, and more support for out dated games that couldn't run on windows 7.
windows 10 is not less secure then 7 so idk where your getting your info from.
Both 7 and 10 still get security updates and will continue to till 2020 and 2025 respectively.
It's just as fast and with an ssd most will not even notice a difference as to where each comes out on top.
Your worried about Internet caps , oh lordy, dude that shit can be changed in the settings.
People crying about spyware at all shouldn't be on windows period, get linux and use it on another machine.
Though 99% of it gets turned off and the remaining 1% of it is well look into what data its actually sending.
