Microsoft: heh heh heh, looks like you’ll be paying me $30 for that windows 10 installation.

Me: Bitch, I’m on Windows 7, and keep ignoring the OS bitching at me to turn the firewall on!

To be fair, that really depends what you use your PC for. Looking at youtube without a profile, and reddit and the news, playing music, offline games. You will be 100% fine. If you have to log into somewhere with sensitive data, don’t. But as a secondary device you PROBABLY will be fine. Requires significant discipline, to not accidentally log into facebook on it though.
