So Glad !

I ascertained that 8 was risky, and 10 much more so, so I stayed with
good old 7. Reading this group, I'm so glad I did ! Did you know that
M$ is still providing updates for 7 ? Now that I mention it, 7 updates
are when I clearly command them, not when M$ feels like it as with 10.

I once posted a request for anyone to give me one good reason to go to
10, and guess what, nobody could !

Why should we be bothered doing your homework for you?

I like to keep my systems updated and Win7 updates were getting harder
and harder to apply.

When I installed Win10 the process became a lot smoother.



Once they had me hooked though, the update process started bogging down
again.


Oh well

Nothing wrong with 10 if you stop reading all the BS. Most of the
"spying" can be handled when installing the thing and 3rd party
programs to handle the rest.

Always big complaints after each new OS version.I was happy to get rid
of the blue screens going from XP to 7 and 8, 10 are even better with
crashes.

The only thing about 10 I detest is the problems they bring with
'upgrades'. Just had two machines that weren't right. A repair
reinstall cured them just like with 7.

I have two desktops with WinXPsp2 and one with Win7. Win7 doesn't
give me anything I need that WinXP didn't already give me. And, I've
never done an OS update on any of them.

I moved to Linux and the process is even smoother (no reboots).

But you like to be here because Linux is so dull and boring. Is this
not so? If not then why the **** are you here? If you want to do
Weinstein on SteveGG's cock then contact him via WindowsXP newsgroup.

Then why do you have WinXP SP2 instead of just plain old WinXP?
Hell, even some automobiles have computer updates.
Do what you want, but please don't try to give bad advice to others.

Why would you expect anyone to waste their time trying to help someone like
you who 'requests' info if you are too lazy or stubborn to search for that
info yourself on the Internet?
You can control the updates for Win10, if you get off your do-nothing ass
and learn how to do it yourself.

Stupid comment.

I assume that's the time M$ will stop updating or servicing 7. Please
confirm.

I'd rather not have to start messing with 3rd party stuff

10's been around for over a year. 'bout time the bugs were worked out

This is the #1 reason I've stayed aeay from it.

Can't give you distinct reasons but I just loaded Windows 8.1 the other
day for the heck of it. It was my old license that upgraded to win10
and I kinda wanted to see if it would active. And it did.

Anyway, I didn't like the FEEL of it. Nothing specific, just didn't
seem to feel as good as windows 10. Yes, I have a 3rd party menu and I
ran 8.1 almost from day one of release and ran it for years. Loved it
at the time but compared to 10, not so much now. Odd. I was kinda
thinking it would be the other way around. I've always had that
thought in the back of my head that I'd return to 8 and drop 10. I
moved to Linux and have been there for well over 2 years now and dual
boot with 10 if I need it.
