If I was running 8 or 8.1 and could not conveniently or inexpensively go back to 7, then I'd upgrade the machine to 10. Or put Linux on it, maybe, depending on what I was using it for.
I have that spare 8.1 on a laptop sitting around, it's an Acer Aspire_V5-571-6499 (a total POS), the wireless system was made to consume very little power, so little it won't work. 8.1 ain't that hot either, it's lose lose situation and how I came about the laptop.
I've transferred all of my movies/music to it, and now replaces (as much as it can) my PS3 that quit.
I've little want or need for Windows 10.
-On the bright side after many many years I was finally able to use the cross over cable (null modem) I wired into a cat 5 cable.
