That being said, I haven't downloaded it yet, but if it has better security protocols, that would interest me. Otherwise, the desktop I have is good.
Being a Technical Support agent for a security software company in the last year and a half, I can say there is no such thing as security protocols in Windows. There is damage and there is cleaning. Some viruses/trojans/malwares are doing less damage and are easy to clean, some do a lot of damage and are hard to clean.
The guys who are writting the hacks and are discovering the exploits are using fundametal issues with the way Windows is build, especially the rights management. Most of these haven't been fixed since Windows XP (the first NT kernel based customer version). In terms of security, 10 is not better than 7 or 8. It is just as easy to patch critical Windows 10 system files and gain control over the processes as it has ever been. All you need to do is to send the customer email with attached "monthly bill form AOL" or "slip from your Fedex package", etc, etc... People are NOT prepared and in some extent - generally stupid. They are easy to manipulate and Windows is NOT taking this into account, giving the average user Joe access to things he cannot understand and control.
These things set apart... I like Windows 10 better than 8 and I am using it :)
