is there something wrong with W7?

Exactly.... Win 7 Ultimate for the score.

Hahahaha. For many of us, no, I still have it on all my machines. They're all dual, or tri, booted with W10 and Linux, but I still prefer W7. It was cleaner, less bloated, and gave the user control over their machine, not MicroThief.

That said, I hear there are ways of getting around the hardware requirements that W11 imposes, but I won't be doing any of that. I'm migrating fully to Linux soon and when I do I will only use Windows O/S's when I have to for things that Linux won't do.

I just wish there was a way to install Windows Solitare on Linux. 😆😆

Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but MS does not make money on already installed and working operating systems.

Not giving up $$$ in software for their profits.

> is there something wrong with W7?

Windows 7 is now 15 years old, and 5 years past its "End of Life". Does it still "work"? Yes, of course it does...

... with a couple of caveats and warnings.

• Newer application software, and newer releases of older software, may not run on Windows 7. Drivers for peripheral devices will probably complain or not work correctly.

• Win7 is profoundly dangerous to use on the internet, because the Bad Guys have had 5 years to figure out all the ways to get their malware into your Win7 computer and bugger it.

That said, I have a virtual machine (VM) of Win7 that I use for certain older programs. I DO NOT use it for going on the internet.
