How many are still running Win 7?

Me for one. All of my critical stuff is on 7. I have a couple of Win 10 computers where I need to have it. None are upgradable to 11.

Same here - a WIN7-Pro for development and one for in-house networking - not attached to web. Add in a WIN10 miscellaneous machine and a WIN10 ‘honey pot’ and a few laptops. Win10/11 are bloated and slow compared to just about any Linux system. The Linux boxes run on 4Gb and 8Gb machines. My wife’s Win10 desktop has 8Gb and she complains weekly about the response time for program loads and internet research. The only quick Win10 box that I have is 32Gb horse. It seems that Win10/11 want more and more RAM with each update.

Windoze suks ...

Part of the issue is the hardware requirements for 11. Many recent PC’s less than 5 years old cannot run 11. As we get closer to W10 end of life those will probably get reduced a bit.

“None are upgradable to 11.”

Cleaning out my didk drawer a few days ago I found the Windows 8.1 I installed on my computer build over ten years ago. Free upgrades all the way to 11 running on it now.
