I'm not expecting to pay any more for Windows-10 than I already have - 
nothing.  The upgrades I've already done have required no extra 
hardware, if a PC can run Win-7 or Win-8 it likely has the hardware 
capability to run Win-10 (1 GHz processor, 1 GB memory....).

Whilst I run both Linux and Windows, as I have to run a number of 
Windows programs Linux is not universally suitable for me.  And I can 
use Windows-10 to program my Raspberry Pi 2, should I wish.
