You’re joking, right?

Windows 10 is a no-brainer if you already have Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

Okay, I’ll backtrack a bit. If you’re a big fan of the tiled Metro side of Windows 8 or 8.1, you probably won’t be happy with Windows 10, at least at first. There’s no Charms bar, the taskbar always takes up part of the screen, Metro apps aren’t completely immersive because they have title bars, and the full-screen tablet mode in Windows 10 isn’t exactly comparable to the Metro side of Windows 8.

But if you use a mouse, even a little bit, or the desktop side of Windows 8/8.1, there’s absolutely no question in my mind that you’ll be happier with Windows 10.

Here’s what you’ll find when shifting from Win8 to Win10:

 The Start menu — need I say more?

 Big new features (detailed in the next section), along with a bunch of small tweaks really make life easier. Even in tablet mode, you’ll find all sorts of things to love about Windows 10.

 Windows 10 apps are updated and greatly improved, although Windows 10 has only a few more apps than Windows 8.

 OneDrive is built-in and it works better. You don’t need to install a separate app.

Windows 10 is, in many ways, what Windows 8 should’ve been. If Microsoft had been listening to its experienced Windows customers, Windows 8 never would’ve seen the light of day.
