There are a majority of technical and personal reasons people have for not switching to Windows 10. A solid one of which is how Microsoft collects your usage of your OS, including the contents of your hard drive that you access, to build an advertising profile that Microsoft then sells as "anonymous information" to advertisers. This is one of the reasons why, unlike previous versions of Windows, the Windows 10 upgrade is free.
