The Win 10 trouble will most likely be you need to pick up some updated drivers. They may arrive in a Windows update, or just check the manufacturers web site. That’s usually the only issue people find on upgrading to 10.

As above, I went Win 7 to 10 and straight to Linux. It just works
When you have time to wade through all the nerdy Linux forums to work out how to do things or why something broke with one of the thousands of regular package updates and then be told you have to edit this and that config file, or you want to hook up a new device and find there are no drivers for it and back into the forums and you are told tough, go write the driver yourself, or to get something to work you have to recompile the kernel!
If you just want very basic functionality you may be okay, but I’d advise getting a Chromebook instead for that. Anything else and I still say Linux is no good for the desktop for the average and less computer literate user. Not knocking it for servers. I use it all the time.
