I still have not made up my mind yet. What do you guys think switch or not.

I will do the upgrade when Windows 10 will be quite reliable (sure some bugs ...)

I'm in the same boat!

Just conduct a backup, if you have a legal OS why fear to upgrade?

Pirated users should be fear on that process though.

Wait a month or when required drivers become available for Windows 10 RTM.

Have 2 Windows 7 keys (OEM), one for Home Premium, one for Professional. Have 1 Windows 8 Core (OEM also). If OEM's are upgradable to Windows 10, I'm upgrading 100%. My hardware works perfect on Windows 10 with Windows 8 drivers. As for my Windows Phone, I've been using the Tech Preview since day one release with no problem (Lumia 635).
