Windows 10 Professional x64 and Home x64 versions on my two main machines, ever since it was released.

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on the rest of my computers and the computers of my family members.

EDIT: Regarding the Windows 10 privacy scandal: I have made custom security tweaks to Windows 10 in terms of privacy, plus I used COMODO Firewall to block numerous hostnames with which Windows 10 communicates for the purpose of data mining.

I use Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 on my HP Envy 17 3D and Windows 10 and Tails from USB on ASUS G751 Notebook.
Dual booted Win 8.1 and Win10? If so how would the license be distributed on both the machines?

I meant whether you use both the os in same machine with a single license. Or you have purchased different licence for each of them.?

I'm using Windows 7 legit, I have legit key for Windows 10 but I don't wanna use it. Every other OS after Windows 7 looks to me like beta OS.

No software are 100% good include OS period. It like your immune system will never protect you 100% all the time.

I don't need immune system. I just want system which is stable and easy to use. I hate OS that looks like disco ball, where you need to click 5-6 times to get to the option that you need. I've used Windows 8.1 long time and Win 10 few weeks.

I'm running Windows 10 on three laptops.

I have one laptop still with Windows 7 installed. I am going to upgrade to Windows 10, but can't right now as I can't install Windows 7 SP1. One day, when I managed to help to fix the issues which prevent SP1 from installing, I will upgrade. I won't do a clean install.

I'm running XP on another laptop as I don't have spare Windows 7 or 8 licenses.

Windows 8.1 Pro before. Then switched to Win 10 immediately after its released. Win 10 was much better, but not in speed, for my low-end system, 8.1 was much faster. After the few updates after the Fall Update, my system went nuts, could not boot to Windows. Tried to reset and clean install again Win 10, would not allow. So I did a clean install of Win 8.1, which worked.

So now back in 8.1. I will upgrade to 10 maybe in June.

Just upgraded our two machines from 7 to 10 this week. Spent the rest of the week tweaking it and cleaning up the mess the upgrade process left behind. I am just fussy though, and was also testing new security solutions throughout.
