Four months or so left as a Windows user for me. Been using Windows since 3.1. Don’t think I want to go to Win10.

“Don’t think I want to go to Win10.”

Agree. Win 10 is for kids whose entire world is a cell phone. I’m finally transitioning to Linux. Running Mint on a laptop as a test, will put Mint on the Desktop soon.
Recommend the same for everyone.

I had a 10 and hated it. Would force myself to use it a few days and then had to box it up before I did an Elvis on it. A few months later, I’d try it again and again it’d go back into the box. Hubby’s Linux died so he hooked up the 10 and curses it every day.

Had to take my 7 into the shop a couple weeks ago over an update that messed it up. Thankfully, as I pulled into the parking lot, it got itself right - sort of. It still wiped out my search engines and Word. The repair guy said everyone hates 10 and are trying to keep their 7s chugging along. He said not to bother with any more 7 updates because of so many problems.

My tin foil hat has always been suspicious the updates were Big Brother installing spyware.
