I have Winders 7 as well, and I’ll continue to use it as well. When MS stops supporting it, I’ll turn the User Account Settings up to the maximum setting and make sure I know what’s going on with “MY” computer at all times, just like I do now.

Much to MSFT’s chagrin, there’s a lot of us out here. Hopefully will always be.

You can easily customize Windows 7 or 10 with such tested freeware as the Ultimate Windows Tweaker, , Right-Click Extender , Winaero Tweaker , Classic Shell, etc.

T-Clock Redux

Win.10.Desktop

Then there are usability tweaks Windows should make easier to do, as in Windows you can create a shortcut to your (buried) SendTo folder (Start>Run %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows) and place the shortcut in it, and right click on shortcuts to certain programs or places in your Start menu etc. and send them there. Then for instance you can just right click on a html page and send it to Apache or LibreOffice, rather than hoping it is in the Open With menu, or you can copy files to whatever folder you created a shortcut to.

Thanks be to God for such useful tools as Computers and programs. May they be used for Good for in service to God.

Too many programs here (before a new install) but I much prefer a menu in which I can see all the programs at once without having to scroll, as is the default mode.
