When 7 doesn’t work anymore I see an Apple in my future. We tried 10 and gave up even trying to work it.

There should be a law for us old people that still remember party line phones and 8 tracks to make puters simple not more confusing.

I really like Win7. But I personally find Macs the simplest of the Big Three (Windows, Mac, Linux). I think Windows 7 is the best OS Microsoft ever produced, or WILL ever produce. Linux takes patience and willingness to compromise. MacOS is just simple -- once you get used to the differences between it and Windows.

But IMO, if you like Win7, switching to MacOS will be much easier than dealing with Win8 or Win10, or Linux.

Then don’t get a Mac! I’ve been computing since DOS with floppies and an 8088 CPU. I was a DOS mechanic an am a certified UNIX admin. I was pissed at Windows so got a Mac. NOTHING is intuitive, EVERYTHING is different, NOTHING is easy. I stuck with it for 7 months and went and bought a new Windows box.

If you learned on a Mac, I’m sure it’s different, but it’s not great for this old PC operator.

Yep. I got tired of Win 10 real fast and after some soul searching bought an iMac. I have an old Mac that works fine, but is no longer updatable so I spent the bucks for the new Mac
I have been a pc user since 1981 and know (knew) a fair amount about using and customizing the system, but with 10 I was just annoyed enough to make the change.
For those pc programs I have to run I installed Parallels 12 and win7. This may be my last gasp in windows after 36 years.
