I am ready to try a free alternative operating system, such as
Linux's Ubuntu.
If you use a free operating system, can you post your thumbs up
or thumbs down for it compared to Windows?
certainly give it a try.
i've been running Debian for many years and Ubuntu is
based upon Debian, but is supposedly easier to use.
there will be a learning curve, but if you have time
i consider it time well spent. i like puzzles instead
of watching tv anyways... 
i can't even remember the last time i booted my
other machine which has win98 on it, the battery has
probably died by now (it also has Debian on it).

Certainly there are alternative operating systems other than Windows.
Do I pesonally want to use them? A definite no. I don't want to
spend (waste) my time "making" something work, whereas WINDows 10
will be 100% compatible with my hardware, other software,
peripherals, all the drivers and firmware, etc. Windows 10 allows me
to USE my system rather than playing with it.
Some of us have more than one OS on the same hardware running
concurrently--offering a few more choices than you have above.
I know that all you opponents will not agree. :-)
