Win7 on this rig.
Bought used ~8 yr. ago, loaded with same.
I just upgraded Win7 to 10. I’ll probably upgrade to 11 right before 12 comes out but only under protest.
i think it also suffered from the fact that it needed powerful computers to even run it at first- i think they have fixed that though?
I’ve been using Win11 since it was released. It really is just Win10 with a fresh coat of paint. I can’t imagine why any enterprise would jump to upgrade.
somewhat misleading.
MS is doing a rolling roll-out of the free W11 upgrade. It’s not supposed to be complete until mid-2022 so the numbers will be down.
I have W-11 and so far, no complaints. Not sure why I needed a hardware upgrade.
Seems like it’s giving a look and feel of a smartphone.
Right-click context menu is different - yet, if you select more options the traditional context menu is displayed. It seems to be that way for most functions to include the start page contents.
Now I have to figure out if I want to move stuff from my W-10 box to my Win-11 box.
XP? Still using lye soap and wiping their butts with corn cobs too? Hand churning butter maybe?
Pretty sure XP was cleared by Mennonites to be old enough for them to use now.
Running 11 on an older HP Elitebook. Works just fine.
Finding or changing option in windows XP was a snap. It sucks in windows 10 big time. And no matter how you set things windows 10 does what every it wants anyways. I can’t even get it wake up from sleep without having to hit enter a bunch of times to get through all the screens. Even after changing deep settings it will not obey. And I as I said... Finding crap is really hard. And it has a thousand privacy settings. to many to even understand. If some are turned off then some features simply won’t work. The updates always cause problems too. It is no wonder some people refuse to leave XP or windows 7. Sadly there are reasons why many people have to upgrade from a software or hardware standpoint.
And it was too late to write that. It is full of writing errors.
Microsoft stock is up 60% in the last 12 months:
>> It’s not supposed to be complete until mid-2022 so the numbers will be down.
Not only that, but big enterprises don’t just role out new OS’s at the drop of the hat - they take many, many months - even years- of testing and trials making sure everything (the enterprise apps) still works properly - last thing big companies want is 50,000 users calling their help desk with problems.
Can you give me the dummy notes how you upgraded to 10? I’m running 8.1 but I need 10 (at least) to upgrade my Photoshop to a current version.
Too early to claim success when only 1/5 of 1% of PC users have the OS.
Bought a new PC in Oct. that had Win10. Took about 20 hours over three days to get set up. No instructions, owners manual, etc.
After set up, the damn screen would just go black with no warning (happened 3 times). About 10 seconds later, a msg would appear telling me not to turn off the ‘puter, because they were updating with some Win 11 features!
I would bet money Windows 11 isn't pushing the price of Microsoft stock up but Microsoft being in bed with the current socialist administration is what is pushing the price of it's stock up.
Come on man, ‘98 SE is the bomb. Make my own soap and corn cobs work great when pre-soaked in water. As an added bonus, they can be thrown at various trespassers.
I would bet money Windows 11 isn't pushing the price of Microsoft stock up but Microsoft being in bed with the government and or non-computer related parts of our economy that is pushing it's price up.
More FUD from the anti-MS folks.
Wanna know why XP is still around? Because the kernel is so full of holes that old software, esp. in manufacturing, has not or will not be rewritten to the higher security standards in modern operating systems.
In my security practice, I’ve seen XP machines running backend healthcare processes that would make most thoughtful people fear for the safety of their personal information. An Internet-connected XP machine, even fully patched WITH antivirus, can be compromised in less than 2 minutes. Let that sink in for those of you still clinging to XP with your cold, dead hands.
Microsoft’s stock price is dictated almost solely on their cloud adoption and Office365. Operating systems account for a very small portion of their annual revenue.
