I just upgraded to WIN 10 and it kept my Win 7 layout. Nothing new to get used to. When you install it it will ask you if you want to keep all your original files. If you say yes it will just make a nicer Win 7 start page and you end up right at home with it. I waited a long time to do it because I didn't like the way it worked on my wife's computer that came with it preinstalled.
