Windows 10: Exactly what is MS trying to say when they offer me Win 10?

That's the way to go. Never burn your bridges.

 

Make an image of your existing OS with Macrium Reflect.
If you don't like 10 revert to your other OS with your Reflect image.
Simple.

 

Image or clone - both options are valid. When you image with Macrium, make sure you also image the active partition which usually is the system partition but can also be the recovery partition (e.g. in Dell systems). Another option is to copy the bootmgr to C before you make the image. Then you need only image C.

If you image with Windows imaging, the acive partition is automatically imaged together with C. But the easiest is to image with this command:

wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:X: -include:C: -AllCritical -quiet

Where X is the drive letter of the device where you want to place the image. The 'AllCritical' parameter makes sure that all partitions that are required for proper operation (e.g. the system partition) are included in the image. To restore the image you use any Windows installation or recovery disc.
