      im using windows 8.1 and did not get any errors or updates spams. I have my Start up button on the botom. I dunno but will switch to windows 10 soon...the reason i waited is so they fix their unstable windows 10. When im on windows 8.1 i feel a bit more safe tho bec hackers will most likely attack windows 10 users since 80% using it.

      Windows 7 was the best build, I remember when I get the RPM 7600 build. Microsoft will stop the support by 2020z 14 january. Here in the Netherlands our government lacks newer tech, they run legacy hard and softwarre so they definitely extend the sec updates. In the beginning I was against win 10 but now i am used to it

      Aimela, new Linux users will get used to it fast as long as they don't have too much software which requires Windows. I myself dual boot for now, I would like to run Windows in a virtual machine with PCIe passthrough (native performance level) in the future. If AMD or Nvidia would support SR-IOV then you could even do it with only 1 graphics card.

    All the reasons to abandon windows 7 were artificially created by microsoft.
    The only thing wrong with windows 7 is that microsoft refuses to give the newest security and features from win10 because it doesn't suit their "grand plan", whatever it is.
    Windows XP compared to Windows 7 is incompatible with most features, but microsoft can easily make win7 have all the good features of win10 if they wanted to.

      @EJSC I've ran Windows10 for over a year now, and I haven't experienced "laggy" or "awful mouse input" at all. I love that I can play DX12 games also. Only thing that really bothers me is that the updates decide to install whenever they fucking want. Aside from that, it's really not that bad of a OS, and that's coming from a day 1 adopter of Windows 7.

      You are forgetting the endless data collecting of everything you do (even private folders). Sure you can opt out but some data is still collected. You can spend hours using user tweaks to disable all the garbage but apparently w10 can override your settings so you will always be required to monitor it. W10 updates also have been know to default all your privacy settings or flat out override tweaks/changes in registry. W10 sounds like a pain in the ass if you want personally freedom.
      The fact that China called bs (China the most data collecting place on the planet) and now have a W10 China version that is free of data collecting.....Is somewhat scary.

All settings are customizable, although it is easier with Win10 Pro, there are 3rd party software that make it a little easier, or you can edit the registry... but they've been improving settings adjustment consistently. As far as backward compatibility, I can run Diablo 2 without any tweaks to anything. Just click and run. Can't do that in Windows 7, where you need to jump thru all kinds of hoops to get it to run properly.

      It actually wouldn't be. That's the problem that's put us where we are today. 2010 thru 2020 proved that making a system largely out of user control is totally more profitable. Saved costs from one platform to support only + enhanced ability to view any data in the cloud to be analyzed at will + devs have to share percentages of their sales with MicrosoftStore/PlayStore/iTunes. Waywayway more money to be made in the cloud methodology - so local hardware is dying. It's actually NOT profitable to give the user what they want.

I believe that many users seeing Win7 theme at the begging would be more interested in switching to 10. Me included. I did my switch only to have better Ambilight and game performance.

      @@TechyBenYep, a surprising number of people forget that the actual experience between Vista SP2 and Win 7 at launch was actually really similar. For the most part Vista struggled at launch due to it being bundled with just straight up to weak computers (512mb ram is a dreaded example) and companies that were just not ready to transition from the old NT core to the new one as far as drivers were concerned.

    • @senjusan6359

      Honestly, I don't understand why people hate on Windows 10 so much. Yes, it is not a system without flaws (seriously, which system is flawless?), but it is fast, responsive and pretty easy to modify for your needs (you just need to have basic knowledge in computers, or basic knowledge on fucking google because you can literally find everything you need there lol). I have stopped updates on my Windows and now I am deciding when I want to update. For example, when that buggy update came out that deleted users data, I was sitting and laughing at people who are just too lazy to change few lines in the registry which are easy as fuck because as I mentioned, you can find everything on the google. So, when people were crying that their system deleted their data, I was waiting for hotfix on that shit and then I just went to settings and updated my system manually.
      Also, I turned off Cortana completely because she was annoying as fuck, and my system runs flawlessly.
      People are just stubborn idiots. Windows 7 is outdated in every possible way, in my company where I work, we still have few computers that are not updated to Windows 10 from Windows 7, and all of them are awfully sluggish and just annoying compared to computers with Windows 10.
      When it comes to data collection, as Linus mentioned, you can limit this process pretty well. Of course, some data is still sent to Microsoft, but hey, tell me right now which system is not sending any data besides Linux, which is open source system with a very complicated layout, that is not very tempting for avg user?
      If you are a gamer, you need to have windows. Or you can, of course, try using Linux, which is still waaay behind Windows in terms of compatibility with modern gaming technologies.
      Safety or usability. You need to pick one.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 were high points for Windows. Pretty much every release since then has been messy. Windows 8.1 wad bearable with Classic shell and a few apps from Stardock, but Windows 10 is still a hot mess. I'm running Linux on my main desktop these days and enjoying the experience - apart from the lack of Adobe apps, there isn't a lot missing now.

    To come back and answer this question three years later. Nothing. Absolutely nothing happens when Windows 7 'dies'. As long as you're using it with era-appropriate hardware and don't care about software updates. I'm still using it on my main computer.

      So you say, but I think 2020 has been the beginning of the end of the world. Obviously win7 dying was the catalyst for these events.
