I like Windows 7. I’ve heard BAD thigns about Windows 10.
At least with Windows 7, I could get my monitor and computer to come back up after it’s in sleep mode?
With Windows 10, about half the time, I have to re-boot.
And I’ve updated all of my drivers.
I’ve already turned off all updates for Windows 7.
Obama ORDERED Microsoft to make Windows 10 a spy machine for the NSA. They were also ordered (with penalty of jail time) to keep this information from the public.
Just look at what happened to those private email businesses that were forced to shut down because they refused to abide with the Obama orders to reveal customer data.
The OBAMA government can also break into any Windows 10 machine, bypassing the password authentication. They cannot do this with Windows 7.
Just one reason to avoid Windoze 10 at all cost.
Windows 7 is my LAST up grade from microsoft.
When 7 is no longer safe I will go to Linux or OSX.
Microsoft has burned a bridge it built with 3.1.
I like Windows 7 except it won’t let me play XP games without going outside to get it. I’m guessing 10 won’t play those games, either. Pretty much lost any respect for Windows to that fact alone.
Microsoft wants a ransomware business model.
pay or your data is hostage.
Our large company IT department will resist moving away from Windows 7 for a long time.
How do you burn or buy an official copy of Win7 or Win8??
Not a download link.
I have never had a problem with Windows 7. Windows 10 was, is, and will be a very bad joke.
I have 7 and like it a lot. If you have a very new computer, W10 will be fine. If your peripherals are more than a few years old (meaning let’s say 3-4 years) they will for the most part be rendered useless as there are no drivers available for (surprising numbers of) them.
I have two computers at home that I use for work and both have Windows 7. I love it. They switched over to Windows 10 on all the computers at the office last year and have had nothing but problems ever since (automatically updating in the middle of the work day, crashing for no reason, not able to use certain critical programs, etc.).
I still use Windows 7 on 4 office desktops. The only problem I encountered was a Microsoft update replaced my sound card drivers and crashed them all at the same time. Gave me the blue screen of death and could not even start in safe mode.
Ended up using a flash drive with Lennox to fix it.
Win10 was designed for touchscreen computing. Many users still use keyboards — for productivity reasons.
MS lost sight of what customers need. They are pushing a lemon and calling it the grandest thing since sliced bread. They are using the old tactics they used with VISTA.
Features — unless they enhance usability — are useless. Take the ribbon menuing, for example.
I’m using Win 7 with all MSFT updates turned off.
Very happy.
I keep win 7 for my engineering computers. I have one laptop with windows 10. It was a terrible transition that cost me close to $10k in forced upgrades and lost work.
Windows 10 gives you the wonderful choice of, “do you want to upgrade now or in 5 minutes?”
No choice. I don’t know if they finally got rid of that but it’s a pain in the ass when I have to get ready for a presentation or finish a presentation when I have to wait for some stupid download and if you don’t have wifi access you’re screwed.
I still have my CNC and inspection machines running on XP computers that have been rock solid.
HAHA! They have an anti-adblocker notice, and effect that obscures their content if an adblocker is in effect.
That said, I would never upgrade a Windows 7 computer to Windows 10, just not worth the potential headaches.
