They are forcing us to upgrade
My Win7 system is starting to have issues, I think that's a strategy to
force Win7 users to upgrade to Win10. Only problem is that I use an older laptop with low resources. So I guess if I upgrade I'll have a system that was not designed for this kind of hardware and soon I'll be installing Linux and assuming I can't get a new laptop just because there is a new system available. Why they don't let us work with Win7 if we already bought it? |

Why they don't let us work with Win7 if we already bought it? There are lots of possible reasons for a system to have issues. If you want a pristine and bulletproof system, learn how to make copies of your installation, with Macrium Reflect. I've been doing it forever, but I think it's easy enough for just about anybody using Macrium Reflect. |

I bought a new system in April 2012. It came with W7 HP x64 SP1 and it's still running. No issues whatsoever (I do have a SSD though). Wouldn't there be more W7 users complaining if there were any truth to what you're saying? Only problem is that I use an older laptop with low resources.

Why they don't let us work with Win7 if we already bought it? Nobody's *forcing* you to install W10. Have you tried a clean install of W7? Maybe install a SSD? That should boost it up. Or you can always try Xubuntu, ideal for older systems. -- s|b |

Linux is UE, Microsoft US. Lots of competition, maybe I'll just shut down,
don't want to go the wrong way. "Paul" escreveu na mensagem ... Gary Stevens wrote: My Win7 system is starting to have issues, I think that's a strategy to force Win7 users to upgrade to Win10.

The forces of nature is a good description of possible things that can go wrong with Windows. That's why making backup copies works so well. |

I guess some people don't have tablets where all kinds of "upgrades" occur for apps & the OS. Don't know about smartphones but can imagine that updates happen with them also. So there is no big deal with windows upgrades/updates. If one is concerned, just use a "dead" OS like DOS or Nextstep or perhaps OS/2 that won't get any forced updates. |

Why they don't let us work with Win7 if we already bought it? What issues are you experiencing in Win 7? It could just be a coincidence that your issues are happening at a time when upgrades to Win 10 are being pushed. Like you, I have an old Win 7 machine which I will NOT upgrade to Win 10. Yes I have had an issue with Win 7 updates recently (to do with Windows Defender). But for the answer you will need to go to ---- alt.windows7.general and look for the thread 'Win 7 - regular BSOD events ' |
