MUST READ QUOTE !

Let me give you many reasons why I will NEVER upgrade to Windows 10.

1.Windows 7 has Aero. What was the most requested feature in the
testing phase of Win10? Aero. What was left out. Aero.

2.Windows 7 respects my privacy. My life is none of your business. All
that telemetry junk can be removed from Windows 7. Even Windows 8.1
had more respect for me than Windows 10 does. I shouldn't have to hack
my router to get back what should have never been taken to begin with.

3.Windows 7 has a working F8 key. Seriously, whoever decided to
disable that needs to be smacked hard in the head every single day for
the rest of his life. Of all the dumb decisions in Windows 8 and
beyond, this is by trillions of miles the absolute dumbest. I asked
for F8 to return. Ignored. Just like the plethora of those Aero
requests. I shouldn't have to use a hack to repair an unbootable
Windows. Even OS X has pre-boot repair keys.

4.Windows 7 has a logical, hierarchy based, customizable start menu
just like Window Vista, XP, 2000, NT, ME, 98, and 95. I shouldn't have
to download Classic Shell just to get an easy to use start menu.

5.Windows 8 and earlier is owned, not licensed.

6.Windows 8 and earlier does not require me to waive my right to sue
Microsoft.

7.Windows 7 and earlier properly calls programs 'programs' and not
'apps'.

8.Windows 8 and earlier does not block programs that are considered
security risks. I downloaded a driver from HP website and Windows 10
blocked it with no instructions on how to unblock it. This is all well
and good, but you need to provide a clear set of instructions on how
to override the false positive.

9.Windows 7 and earlier doesn't force the app store on you like mad.
Why did Microsoft take out the group policy setting that allows
businesses to disable the app store?

10.Windows 8 and earlier do not have compatibility problems.
Seriously, why do so many old programs that worked fine on Vista
suddenly no longer work?

11.Windows 8 and earlier let you defer updates. I have currently found
24 updates that cause the client restore of Windows Server Essentials
to crash. If security updates ruin Microsoft's own software, what
about other programs? Businesses should not have to pay for an
Enterprise license to block updates that interfere with their
essential programs.

12.Did I mention Windows 8 and later don't have F8 enable by default?

13.Windows 7 is smart enough to realize that different tools have
different purposes. A hammer is meant to put a screw in. A tablet is
not a laptop/desktop. OS X and iOS are not one-in-the-same, because
Apple knows that a tablet OS should be completely distinct from the
mobile OS. By combining the two, you didn't make a better you, you
made a far worse one.

Who cares what the **** you do or not do. Can you just **** off from
here now that you aren't interested in Windows 10.

Nice ...

Everyone is, or should be interested in 10. I am albeit negatively.

This info is very well stated and should be considered.

Thanks for comment. It occured to me just after posting.

I don't think that's correct... have to dig out the Win 7 stuff to
check. I thought that ALL versions of Windows have been licensed.
....but I agree with the rest of your post

Looking at EULA back to Vista, they're all licensed and depending upon
the type (retail or OEM) transferable.

What is different(relative to transfer rights)and many have made the
mistake of reading and/or referencing the Win10 EULA. The Win10 EULA
applies to the retail and OEM versions of Win10(purchased or
pre-installed)not necessarily the 'free-upgrade'.

(snip 2 through 13, all good ones)

added:

14: Windows "Ape" and Win-10-nic are 2D FLAT/UGLY like Windows 1.01.
Windows 3.0 broke that paradigm with 3D skeumorphic, and became THE de
facto standard for operating systems for 2 decades. For some really
stupid reason, Micro-shaft decided to "go back to the beginning" and
make a 2D FLAT UGLY interface (aka 'FLUGLY'). When "Ape" machines sat
next to 7 machines in the same store, the 7 machines sold, the "Ape"
machines collected dust. USER PERCEPTION is that 7 is simply *BETTER*
and MORE ELEGANT than "Ape" or Win-10-nic. And that 2D FLUGLY looks is
a HUGE part of that.

don't forget that with Win-10-nic you can't harm YOURSELF or your
license will be taken away, your pee-pee whacked, and your birthday removed.

I wonder how they plan on REVOKING win-10-nic licenses like that...

Absolutely! All MS Software, and nearly all software.
