I'll try it on my old desktop first .....
If after a few weeks of having avoided it, and having not heard of any problems, I might think about allowing it.
I'm a trailblazer, you see. I'm leading the drive to persuade Microsoft to OFFER updates to anyone who wants them, and to leave it to the consumer to decide if and when they want them.

I don't have anything particularly useful to do on the computer these days. Also got a few computers. Got all my back-ups and know the 'get out of trouble' procedures, so I am in a position of not having to worry all that much if something goes wrong.

We wouldn't!
However, if you find things are beginning to slow down or, consider yourself a power user and prefer having more control over what goes on with the inner workings of your computer, the above steps will provide that for you.
