Windows 10 upgrade installing automatically on some Windows 7, 8 systems

My main Win7 workstation doesn't have a lot of noticeable lag anyway. In what ways is Win10 significantly faster, in your experience?

Likewise, my Win7 workstation has a couple of large monitors attached, but five minutes setting up WinSplit Revolution gave me a more convenient way of organising all that space and the windows within it than any version of Windows I've ever used (and most window managers on other platforms, for that matter). There are a couple of annoyances, but those seem to be more to do with the graphics drivers and use of DisplayPort than anything else; is Win10 noticeably better at handling such things for you?

I've used 7, 8 and 10 extensively.

Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell's start menu is the sweet spot at the moment if you ask me. It has the explorer and task manager additions that windows 8 brought in, boots faster than 7 and doesn't have as much of the UI replaced. I'm going to be honest and say that if there was a way to get rid of the charms bar and network panel, it'd be perfect.

TBH I'm going to use it until EOL in 2023 and then do something else.
