Thank goodness for Win 7

Wow, and here I thought I was the only Luddite in the country still using Win7.

You are not alone. I'll give up my Win 7 when they pry it from my cold, dead hard-drive.

There are more of us using Win 7 than you know. We have it on business computers linked to the internet. Have one computer with XP not connected to the internet that we keep all our client, patient demographics, financial info and software we use daily which we have had since 1985. Works fine. If forced to upgrade to W10, told my clients I’m retiring.

I like Win7, and continue to use it for the most part, both at home and at work (at home I still have an XP system as well.)

But while I use Win7 at work as my primary desktop, I've had to get a Windows 10 laptop, since there's a lot of the newer Microsoft products (Office 365, Exchange 2016/Online, and others) that can't be properly administered from any OS older than Windows 8.1. Even some admin functions delivered through web sites don't work properly on Windows 7 workstations. And don't even get me started on PowerShell on Windows 7, where many of the modules simply won't work, even when I've upgraded to PowerShell 4!

You're not alone by a long shot. I will never switch over to Windows 10. Hell, the U.S. government and many major industries are still using Windows XP.
