A few percent overall. That translates to at least a few millions of computers. Win7 remains the most loved version of Windows ever.

How many are still running Win 7?

Me for one. All of my critical stuff is on 7. I have a couple of Win 10 computers where I need to have it. None are upgradable to 11.

I just switched from Windows 7 to 11 last October.

Win 11 is so much slower than Win 7, despite running on a new machine with way more RAM, and a much faster CPU.

I am posting this from my Win 7 box. I have a couple of XP machines and one with Win 98 (to run some ancient but irreplaceable non-windows software that refuses to run on a virtual machine).

I have 3 Win does 7 computers.

A few months ago I bought refurbished Win 10 laptop and desktop. I tried to like them, but I don’t. That obtrusive Edge thing makes me crazy.

Glad I held in to the Windows 7 machines.

I have one on XP, one on Win 7, and two running Win 10 that I'm just tinkering with for the time being. I miss Windows 98 SE.

How many are still running Win 7?

I am, sort of. Win10/11 won't recognize my color laser printer. So, I have a Win7 laptop and vm Win7 I use when I need to print.

For general evening surfing/browsing, I have a Linux Mint 23 laptop. It does most of what I need, except that my Cable TV browser feed doesn't support Linux.

I also have a Win11 11" laptop that I use primarily for noonish radio. It comes in handy for some video feeds. I seldom use it for anything else as the keys function awkwardly.

My main is a Win10 desktop. Of course, it is NOT upgradable to Win11. Being retired, I don't have a pressing reason to do replace it.

I have 6 CNC running with Win7 for feeding the controller programs. I use another 2 for CMM (inspection machines). I even keep my old engineering and CNC software on one of them as they have been rock solid since I first got them.

One computer AUTOMATICALLY (no matter how many times I turn off auto updates that $hitty company still installed it) and I hate it. Why move everything? Then they cram down all the AI crap and cortana as if we are to be on internet 24-7 with the computer on. Ech... Oh well.

Work computers will stay on windows 10 and at my age this should be one of the last computers and software upgrades I’ll need before I sell everything and retire. Then, back to my abacus and drafting table.

I got W7, but I don’t use it as much as I used to. Still, in my opinion it’s better than W10 or 11.

My Desktop is still running Windows 7, I use my laptop for most of my internet browsing now. It is Windows 11. 7 is the last great version, XP worked find too. Why can’t a third party step in a support Windows 7 apart from Microsoft. If MS is not supporting it, did they not legally abandon it?
