Windows 7 is going to be unsupported

10. You can keep Win7 as long as you like

If you don't use your computer online, you will be perfectly fine using your existing programs for as long as you like.

But...if you're an internet user, this will happen;

-After a year or two your browser will no longer update

-When this happens, you will find certain things on the internet don't work; ie pages won't render, media won't play, images won't load

I speak from first hand experience, because I gave Win7, Vista and Win 8 a big miss and stuck with an installation of XP for many years after it had outlived its functional usefulness.

Granted, I have more than one computer and the operating systems reflect the years they were purchased. But I still loved my old XP for day to day use. Until....one day I just became totally tired of work-arounds and decided to go TEN and get it over with.

So, these are decisions you need to make for yourself; what are you prepared to miss out on to retain Win 7?

On the plus side, with a helluva lot of tweaking, Win10 is the best operating system Microsoft has made. There are many ways to make is look and act like XP or Win 7, and a large range of built in features that can easily be disabled. (fuck off cortana!)

If you are ready to not accept Win 10 'out of the box' and are prepared to do some fiddling to make it work as you like, I believe you will be happy with the change. Please feel free to msg. me if you would like more information.
