It deletes all of your System Restore points and each time one of my Clients has tried to roll back it has been a disaster.  I have used a Dell recovery program to basically start over with Win7.  Even had a packet to save all docs, pics, etc.  Still took too much time.
If you want this tracking beta OS, download 10 from the MS website and save it to a flashdrive.  Then just wait for 11.
Incidentally, Win7 works really well without Windows Update running.  All you need is a secure browser, secure habits, and a good paid Internet Security suite.  Routine cleaning and scanning is a must.  This works as long as vendor software supports Win7.  I still do this with XP and no problems.

The Win10 upgrade doesn't delete any files, in my experience. You can roll
back to Win7 any time in the first 30 days.
