I can't speak from a gaming prospective, but I've found Windows 10 works very well for the most part and I've not noticed any slowness issues over Windows 7.
Indeed, on the few systems that I've installed it on it's run at least as quickly as Windows 7 which I hadn't expected given that historically each new version of Windows was more bloated and resource hungry than it's predecessor and was noticeably slower on the same hardware.
The built in backup utility in Win10 actually does this very well out of the box and the standard settings will do pretty much exactly what you want, assuming that you keep your documents, photos etc in the default libraries. If you don't, you just have to select which drives/folders you want to backup and it'll just quietly do it in the background daily without any input from you.
The best solution is to have both RAID and a backup - the two compliment each other.

how?
