I don't use any of them and the only M$ account that I have is a 
developers account that gets me information of no interest to the 
average user.

I was happy with it too, but it will eventually die. I use W10 just as I 
did W7, and, apart from some graphics, I notice very little difference 
from W7.

I have it on a baby laptop like yours, the big I7 laptop (16GB RAM 1TB 
SSD) and a home brewed I5 desktop with an eclectic collection of disks 
both spinning rust and SSD. I have had not a single problem in over a 
year with updates turned on. OTOH I have a W7 laptop that has eaten its GBR.
