Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 for new build

I am to build a new rig later this year, probably around July.

If that is the case, what OS should I get?

 

I have windows 7 ultimate readily available. Windows 8.1 I will probably need to dig around.

My major concern is really software compatibility, I have quite a few software for stock trading from Windows XP, which fortunately works on 7 and 8.1. But I am not sure about 10.

 

How do other get about this issue regarding which OS to pick?

i would not go with windows 10 for a new build until it is actually released. I dont think it is a good idea to use a buggy beta on a new pc. Go with what you have, because both windows 8 and 7 will get a free upgrade to windows 10 once it is released.

Go with the cheapest option, you get a free upgrade to Windows 10 with Windows 7 & 8.1 (as long as they are fully updated).
