What works for me is having a defined 'Stack'. So I have a drive that contains all the iso and keys that I will need to reinstall. Additionally all my systems are setup that if I were to lose them the data is backed up in the cloud. 

 

Essentially making it as automated and structured as possible rather than a chore.

if you have your windows 10 key code do a clean install?

but if you need to upgrade try going here to do it---->http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 do the upgrade first if you do not have a key

 

I keep all my games and crap on a 1 Tb black drive and my OS and games like Cod4,5 on a SSD(get a fast one)!

Yeah essentially that's right, it's more of a development term but I use it in the general sense. So I maintain a text file listing all the core software I use and the activation keys.

I did put 10 on a laptop I just got a few months ago and after several hours of tweaking it works fine.  The steps to remove all of Microsoft's damn privacy invasion shit was horrendous. But I have it running pretty good.   I would never install it on my main pc's, but I was curious to check it out.  Laptop is used mainly for browsing and some music creation and 10 works fine for what I do on it.  Black Vipers guides to tweaking all versions of windows is a must www.blackviper.com  .  I always disable non critical "services" on all installs.  But 7 will be on my main pc's for many years to come, just a I still run XP SP3 on a few.  If it aint broke ......

I don't know what you guys are doing. My OS-es at least run for 2/3 years and Eventvwr helps a lot.

My Vista64, with the DX11 patch, ran great for 3 years. Now:

 

CMD: systeminfo

 

Oorspronkelijke installatiedatum:    10-5-2012, 22:51:12
Systeemopstarttijd:                  6-12-2015, 2:44:08
 
So, Install date and startup time/date. Yes, I do use Hibernation when I go to sleep (but that uses 13Watts with my router).
Had to call MS once to re-activate my Windows because of a change of my hardware.
 
Sure, I could make a nice HowTo keep your OS alive, but no one reads that shit :) 
 
TL;DR: Read the crash dumps and Evenvwr 
 
Cheers and good luck and no Windows 10 for me. Windows 7 lasts till 2020 of support, but we still get other updates :D
