edit: It's been two weeks now since I upgraded from 7 to 10 and I'm very satisfied with it. As I was with 7. It feels, controls, and looks basically like 7. Haven't found any flaws yet. I can't even use the Cortana stuff apparently because of where I live, but you can't miss what you didn't have so I don't really care. It's essentially "just" a Windows 7 skin and that's the biggest compliment I can give it so far.
Original post:
I have Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) and it has served me excellent, it still does. But it's no secret that Windows 10 is the near future of PC gaming, primarily because of DX12 (most Steam users already have 10 (edit: the 64bit version)), and I wanted to ask if this is the right time to upgrade. I've been postponing the upgrade since its release in the hopes that several issues would have been ironed out by the time I'd consider an upgrade. I installed it on my dad's PC so I'm a little familiar with it, it feels okay. Would I get the Ultimate version of Windows 10 or the basic/Home one? Any disadvantages to upgrading, be they gaming related or in general?
