You can do this pretty much risk-free:Personally I've still got Windows 7, I've been using it since 2010 and I'm as pleased with it now as I was then. I would quite like to try Windows 10 though.
1: Download and install Macrium Reflect free edition. Include the WindowsPE components offered.
2: Use Reflect to create a system image of your entire HDD; store that on separate external media. Also, use Reflect to create a WinPE boot disc.
3: Download and install Win10. You can still do this for free - google it.
4: Use and decide.
5: If necessary revert to your system image by booting from the WinPE Boot Disc and using it to restore your image back to your HDD.
It's what I did - except for step 5 which I have never felt the need to do.
