If it's not broken, don't fix it.
You should know that software companies do employ every manner of gimmicks to stay afloat in the market, top of which includes getting their customers to upgrade to products and services they really don't need.
When I dumped my windows vista laptop to purchase a new one, I couldn't help but purchase the win-7 edition. It was a damned sight much better, and a great improvement over vista. Few years later, Microsoft came up with win-8. It was so crappy. The UI was so shitty, most people asked why windows bothered to develop it. When I tried to use a win-8 operated device, I knew I wouldn't "upgrade" to such a horrible software.

Microsoft realized later that win-8 sucks, so they quickly fiddled with it, adding elements from win-7, and came up with the "win-8.1" version. This edition had a much better UI, and the next laptop I bought came with it. Though I still have and use my trusty old win-7 device. I didn't bother to download and install win-10 when I got the notification, for the simple reason that I didn't need to. I am yet to hear user reviews that out-rightly gave win-10 higher recommendations over Windows 7 and 8.1.

The tech development industries will keep coming up with "upgrades", and I will not get stampeded into the sort of consumer mindset they wish to put everyone in. I only get such "upgrades" when it is necessary. This will probably be after I "retire" my ever reliable win-7 device when it has fully served me, and I need a new replacement (Been using it for almost 6 years) I still got my backup win-8.1 device (about 2 years old). If it's not broken, no need to fix or replace it! That motto has served me well when it comes to mobile phones, laptops and other devices/appliances.
