Just curious to read your reasons why I should upgrade as PC gamer
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

Because its free.
It makes some things a little easier and a little faster.
Its better integrated with your personal settings. So going from computer to computer is a pretty easy a task.
If you have the option you should probably take it.
For the most part the UI will mimick Windows 7. The Kernel is upgraded so it will run batter. There were also the accessibility things I mentioned above. It comes with some more ease of use technology that is pretty lengthy to list and can be somewhat complicated to explain.
However, the safest bet is to wait 6 months after release for the breaking in period all Windows OS have had. Your free upgrade is available for a year.
There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
Otherwise if you are set for a free upgrade, or even if you are not, just wait. There is no hurry we have a year, for the free upgrades, to let all the other peeps do the bug testing and optimizing. Let them get it all figured out and most likely put out a service pack that makes it all work better and with less headaches.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
It is also "slicker", less "in your face" and - as others have said - runs very lean.
Totally bug and hassle free across 5 machines at differing hardware standards now.
other than dx12, no reason to submit to w10 surveillance and intrusion-mandated control of your PC...
W7 moved to "extended support" 2015.01.15 when "mainstream support" ended. (Not at all similar to the Windows XP end of life fiasco.)
W7 extended support means that Windows 7's features will no longer be updated or new improvements made, nor will any further service packs be developed and distributed, but this DOES NOT mean that the operating system will stop receiving free security updates.

Windows 7 Extended support runs through January 14, 2020, giving you plenty of time to plan your migrations to a newer operating system.
Microsoft can scan Windows 10 devices for pirated software and block it; (killl switch mechanism have been in place on Intel cpu since 2007;) the end-user OS service agreement (12,000 words) signed by any Windows 10 users allows Microsoft to access all passwords, password prompts and other information used for data protection; M$ also receives other types of data, from users’ contacts, their emails, web history and even physical location;
it warns that the received information will be stored and processed in the United States or any other country for an indefinite period of time and transferred to US state agencies; M$ also reserves the right to share this data with special services, use it in research, publish or use it in any other way it sees fit;
the [url=http://bgr.com/2015/07/31/windows-10-upgrade-spying-how-to-opt-out/ ] problem[/url] is that once the data is stored - it is out of your control. eg w7 sp1...
