I have one PC still on Win 7 and one laptop on Win10.

The laptop would still be on Win8, if I had known about doing the rollback from Win 10 within the 1st 30 days after the update to Win 10. If I could roll it back now I would. I have found zero benefit to using Win 10 over Win 7. I think that has been true of many Microsoft updates to both its software and its OS updates. The only disadvantage that earlier versions of things have ever presented was how they were forced into “not supported” situations with respect to compatibility issues with software written specifically to be in sink with a newer OS. Their inherent functionality was never an issue and what was “new” was seldom seen as “better”, simply newer and often less ease of use (more complex) compared to an earlier version.

For instance, when did I give up Win98? When I could no longer get the newest versions of the antivirus application compatible with it.

“I have found zero benefit to using Win 10 over Win 7.”

Ditto.

Boot takes from 5 to 20 minutes. WTH?
Combined with Office 365 and its retarded Outlook...it sucks.
Coders have lost control of their mashup creature.

I’d go back to XP in a heartbeat.

When work PCs (under total control of work IT, the real controllers of the company) are gone from my life, so will bloatware/spyware Windows and bloatware apps that require it. I will crack a good bottle to celebrate my divorce from it.
