I just might skip windows 10 with its eternal updates, that make me suspicious. I have a few Windows 7 machines I will move to windows 8 so that I can get updates and patches further into the future.
BTW can you tell me in one sentence when Windows 7 updates will stop? Microsoft puts out three different dates.
I hear Microsoft updates and patches security XP for companies that need to stay with it. MS charges for this service. I do not us XP anywhere/
Jan 14, 2020 is end of extended service -- that's the end of the road for us mortals, though we can predict that like XP, Win7 will have special past-extended security patches for high-paying enterprise customers.
