We're on the same page. Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate is the best operating system Microsoft has ever produced, and probably ever will, in my opinion.
We're good into 2020 before we lose Win7 security updates. 5 years is plenty of time to find something to jump to when the time comes.
That’s what I said about Windows 2000—in 2005.
Look how fast that came and went. :-)
