Windows update

grizzly · 2015-07-29 14:10:58

My machine has given me a prompt to update to Windows 10. I'm using Windows 8 currently. Do I need to update to Windows 9 before I update to Windows 10? Or can I skip 9 completely. I preferred 7 to 8, so maybe I'd enjoy using 9 over 10.

There is no 9. If you prefer 7 to 8 then you'll most likely prefer 10 to 8.

I'm holding back till I see what all the critics say. I'm in the over 50% of windows users that stuck with 7 and thanked my lucky stars.
