Should I upgrade from 2015 to 2016

Thread needs solution

Seen the blurb on the web site.. got the email.. seen the release notes..
But TBH.. its rubbish info in terms of helping me decide if I should upgrade..
They are just "sound bites".. with little real info to help me decide. :(
I am not interested in Cloud.. so just the upgrade to the core product.
2015 seems to do what I need.. I try and keep it fairly simple/mainstream.. so I don't get issues when you start to use features on the periphery of products.. I just need a good and RELIABLE.. backup that I have confidence will work when/if ever needed.
I use WIn10 pro.. schedule weekly backups.. from PCs to NAS storage and NAS only stuff back to a PC.. full backup.. followed by 4 incremental..
Occasionally I copy to a spare HDD and take offsite.
2016 going to help me much?

Thoughts/Experiences?
Thanks in advance.

It ATI 2015 is doing everything you want, then I would not upgrade. The latest build of ATI 2015 has 'official' support for Windows 10.

The only 'new' feature is that TryAndDecide is back (although it is problematic at present).

Don't upgrade. I did. Nothing but problems. Went back to 2015. So far so good. I have Win 10 64 bit.

The latest build of ATI 2015 has 'official' support for Windows 10 Insider Preview only.

See attached image.

So, you may need to upgrade to ATI 2016 for Windows 10.

I used ATI 2015 with the release version of ATI without any issues. If I recall correctly, the latest ATI 2015 build was released before the 'final' version of Windows 10.
