In the absence of some compelling, Earth shattering, Cosmic rocking reason to move from Windows 8.1 Pro to anything else, I've found no reason to upgrade. There appears to be no Windows 10 feature or function that I can't live without. In fact, I can't find any Windows 10 feature or function that serves my purpose more than the changes serves Microsoft's purpose.

And so, just as I stayed behind for years on XP, 7, etc., I'll likely hang around for years on 8.1.

I will say there's only 1 dramatic change that occured when I moved off of Win 7 - my UAD Quad Card become extremely unreliable - constantly dismounting itself. Bad card? UA won't say because they refuse to address any issue where any Windows OS beyond 7 is concerned. So I have a few thousand $K sitting around I can't use.
