Redmond Admits Using Microsoft Supported Windows Is ‘Risky’

There are several security feature updates in Windows 10 vs. Windows 7 or 8. These changes may be confusing to Windows users:

But the changes do indeed make for a more secure user experience.

And there are other changes detailed in various places:

Again... this is all probably very confusing to end users of Windows... but it does increase user security.

I'm sure Microsoft has its own interests at heart pushing users to upgrade [or some might say downgrade] to Windows 10. However, Windows 10 may very well actually be more secure than prior versions of Microsoft Monstrosity OS.

And there is a real problem translating the new security features into descriptions that make sense to an average Windows user. Maybe Microsoft should produce a video detailing the differences and what those differences mean in terms of end user security... I don't know... and I really don't care that much what MS does. However, it's likely that the push to Windows 10 has at least a hefty portion of security updates which are beneficial to end-users.

Yep. And be assured they trump your interests.
