Same here. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Windows 7 does everything I want, runs all the software I use and navigates the internet OK. Just why would I want Windows 10 with all the troubles.

Question: I’ve read where Windows 10 has a built in back door for government snoopers, is that true? And also where Windows 10 must go on line every now and then or it will shut down, is that true?

Yes on both counts, there are backdoors and it hangs on the need to be updated when IT wants to be updated. The thing that really turned me off was the dependencies for an internet connection to do anything, and that all the apps such as office are online and require a paid subscription and account in the MS cloud. Been out 4 years now and was broken when it came out and still broken.

Don’t know about the shutdown without internet feature. Wouldn’t put it past them.
