Avoid 10 !
 
Anyone with half a brain, would have stayed with 7, which was and is
optimal. I did. I occasionally peruse this group to see what I'm
missing. Whew ! ...

Both Win 7 and Win 10 are working fine for me and my family members.
So... :)

These newsgroups are normally for people with problems who want some
input / advice from other users who may have solved the same issues.

There are a very large majority of users who use 10 and don't have
issues. That's not saying that they prefer 10 over 7 or XP, just that
they don't have issues.

Why does any one bother to respond to this type of message. If I were
"Good Guy" I would have resounded with some comment about his mental
capacity.

All he is looking for is attention. He lives in the virtual world he
created in his computer by responding all you are doing is bringing the
outside world.

He could regain contact with the real world by getting out and
interacting with real people, at the nearest community center, church or
volunteer at one of the local charities.

We help people with computer problems. How can we be of any use if we
don't know Win10.
Many of us are also in a position to compare 7 & 10 on a daily basis;
and then give out more reasonable opinions than just "put it in the bin".

Well, my post was obviously only my perceptions and should have been
recognized as such. No big deal.

I think it's very vallid to take postings in this group into account,
as an assessment of 10. All things considerred, take it or leave it, I
decided to leave it.

Starting with the introduction of 10, I posted ( repeatedly ) for
anyone to give me one good reason to "upgrade" from 7 to 10. So far
nobody has been able to do that.

I've noticed the same thing. I join in here because
I write Windows software and because I like to keep
track of developments. In other words, as a
programmer and as a tweaker. I also need to know
these things because I help friends and family.

What I've noticed is that there are mostly just a few
regulars. Most of them are just experimenting and
not using Win10 as their primary system. And many
of the questions are things like:

"That latest update just screwed me. What do I
do?"

That's in the category of, "How do I survive this
thing?" rather than, "How can I better use this thing?"

On the other hand, at some point you won't be
able to get Win7 or hardware that supports it. Then
you'll have to face a decision about using Microsoft
rental spyware as an unpaid beta tester or moving
to Linux or Mac. At this point there's no clear way
ahead to maintain what most Windows users consider
to be the advantages of Windows: Lots of software
combined with lots of control.

You can be sure that M$ will do everything they can to
hasten this process. Hardware vendors make no money from
supporting windows 7. It makes economic sense to produce new
hardware for win 10 only.
Resistance is futile...it's just a matter of when.
It's prudent to get the free digital
entitlement for your hardware to keep your options open.

Then
you'll have to face a decision about using Microsoft
rental spyware as an unpaid beta tester or moving

Control is useless if you can't get the software you want.
Users will trade features for control/privacy. It happens
every day with smartphones. Desktop linux is a non-starter.
We're trapped in windows. Get over it.

All my daily use systems are win7. But I've got over a dozen
computers with digital entitlement for 10. IT WILL HAPPEN.

Rant over. I gotta go see how the 551MB update download
on my linux laptop is going...sigh...

And, since you don't have any direct experience with Win10, you don't
realize that many of these comments come from the relatively few
"regulars" who do really stupid things with their Win10 systems thinking
that they should be functionally like XP. The rest of us who have
multiple Win10 systems with no such issues just shake our heads at those
comments and keep working.

There is no reason to upgrade to another OS if you are able to do your
work with the one you have. I still have machines running Win2k Pro,
which I prefer to several of its successors. However, I also have
machines running Vista, Win8.1 and multiple Win10 machines, all of which
are reliable.

I feel that way now. Also, I remember I felt that way about XP when it
was new, and that changed.

I wanted to make sure my website looked OK with the Edge browser, not a
common reason. I haven't found another, and have 10 only on that one VM.

That's also my reason.

I've used Linux for most things since 2010.

I still prefer W2K (the last version without the anti-user
"activation"), although there are a few new features of later Windows.
Mostly, these aren't very important but software does seem to require them.
