Default Questions about the "end of Windows 7"

Hi All,
When Windows 7 support ends, what are you all going to do?Â* Pay for
additional support?Â* Or what?

Can we still go to Windows 10 free?

Also, what's the best way to make Windows 10 better?Â* I have a laptop
that came with 10.Â* I've added several "improvements" like Classic
Shell, but it still isn't always good.Â* Is there anything better?

Sorry for all the questions.

You got it! Live with 7 and no updates, or pay for them till they stop
letting you. Not much else.

Some people are reporting that the upgrade to 10 is still working. A
good backup image of your entire HD before a test would be advised.

There is a thread on alt.comp.os.windows-10 group that just started,
about the 10's menu and making it look like XP.

The basics of the first 10 or so replies is: Classic shell is no longer
developed. And: Learn to live with the current menu since 3rd party
programs may/will come and go.

It's easy to just unpin everything on the menu and then pin the programs
you use the most. The once a month/year apps you use can be found in
the alpha listing. A few shortcuts on the desktop maybe, a few on the
taskbar and you can get to your programs with 1 or 2 clicks.

You probably had an issue with moving to windows 7 but you learned it
after a while, well windows 10 is about the same. Use it for 6 months
and you won't have major issues. But you have to use it, not just have
it somewhere to glance at now and then.
