Guys I have a serious question. I have windows 7 on my computer and I have used it for years and I am very comfortable with it. My school offers windows 10 for free. Should I get it? What are the pros and cons?

yes
pros:
it's better
cons:
it's spyware
>>59663660
Yes, you should get it, because it's the future.
Pros: It's the future.
Cons: Botnet, some shit is more complicated (like making a simple desktop shortcut from the start menu.

If it's Education edition, get it. It's like Windows 10 Enterprise, but with a different name. Plus, you don't even have to deal with Cortana if you get Education.

Exactly this. EDU does not have Cortana so that's one less thing to remove.

You will need to learn how to get rid of all the shit you don't want but if you donMt mind the botnet, you might end up liking it.
There is no such think as completelly removing spyware on Win10. Juat remember that.

Yes. The ASLR support alone is worth it.
Make sure you're getting Enterprise LTSB. You won't have too much botnet to deal with then.

No.
Windows 7 is comfy as fuck. If you're going to move, make the jump to Linux. Just take the free Windows 10 license and sit on it. Will be helpful down the road.
