Why Do People Upgrade to Windows 10?

Probably support is the main reason. Stick with the newer versions, drivers are being developed, updates are being applied, it's in support. It's just easier. Of course that's once the initial upgrade pain is done.

You don't want to upgrade too early (no drivers etc), but it's easier than sticking with older versions.
