I just bought a new computer with Windows 7 Professional installed and the ability to upgrade. They even included a new Windows 10 recovery/update disc. Got it about 10 days ago.
I haven’t updated and am not sure I will. After the last unit with Windows 8.1 where I hated the constant opening of unwanted applications whenever I wanted to do something, I am more than happy with 7. As a matter of fact I am completely satisfied.
New isn’t always better. Sometimes it is just the same bad crap in a new package. I have a year. I will take a minimum of eight months to decide.
Load XPP into a Virtual Machine under Ubuntu or some other flavor of Linux to run any 16/32 bit Windows programs you still like/need.
