“Is there anyone still using 8?”
It took over a year before I was able to upgrade a clients 8 machine to 8.1.
Horrid.
My Mom's laptop came with 8, and within a year it got itself into such a screwed up state that we were unable to upgrade it to 8.1. So I ripped out the hard drive, installed 7 Pro on a fresh HD, found drivers from the component manufacturers (because 7 wasn't "officially" supported on the laptop), and got it working great for her.
She's not upgrading to 10 -- she's 91, likes 7, and wants to stay with that as long as she can.
