The Windows 10 updates will not remove your old set up, apps, files etc if you opt to keep them. If you don't like the outcome, restore keeps your old config anyway.

Can try linux like lubuntu and dual boot with windows.
Or try LIVE USB or DVD. Or try before installing it.
Windows XP is good for old PC or slow CPU but no more security patches unless you cracking it to 2019. Less support from Web browser and no drivers for new PC.

Yes, you have to be careful. Although W10 is generally more efficient and runs better on most machines than W7, older processors might actually give you a worse experience. Indeed W10 won't install if some processors are present.
I have been lucky with my old quadcore machine. I was very impressed with W7, but W10 boots up faster, ( 25 seconds to be usable) and apps run more quickly. I have updated with the most recent W10 build (Version 1511) only last weekend.
