If you're still using Windows 7, you're fucked.
It's already wide open.

That's your lot basically, unless you buy ESU.
In the end, one can live with Win 10 if you play around with the system a little bit - modifying for needs and comfort.
Such as: can I set up Microsoft Edge to appear configured like an IE 9 browser [which is still quite useful] yet not akin to a Chrome browser.
And yet still, today there aren't too many alternative OS options that aren't considered dodgy or have compatibility/configuration issues. :sssh:
Perhaps Ubuntu? :rolleyes:
Fuck Bill Gates and his kind.;)
I disable most MS programs and install the alternatives I like. I've don't use a MS browser, mail program, file explorer, or Office product.Quote:

IE is a piece of shit and Microsoft have been telling people to stop using it for years.Quote:

But if you want a shitty OS with few apps, I did see this suggestion yesterday:
CloudReady Home Edition Free Download — Neverware
Ideal for people like you that probably only use email and browsing.
Neverware? That sounds great!
I just got notification of an update, selected it and it downloaded and installed.

I guess you then understand the difference between patching security holes in the operating system vs updating a firewall program which is also used in Win8 and Win10.Quote:

I haven't used IE in years.
They won't prohibit you from receiving updates but they will not do any work on updates explicitly for Win7.Quote:

I miss Win 7. I just liked the feel of it.
But, like others have mentioned, most modern hardware runs Win 10, so that's what's installed
What exactly do you miss about it?Quote:

I can turn on bluetooth, put it in tablet mode for use on touchscreen devices or switch on the vpn, wifi, or hotspot or project my screen to my tv or multiple displays or connect to my wireless headphones and the various other functions on there(which will be above the paygrade of some tarmactarded half Mick who needs help topping up his cars coolant:)) in one click.
The search function has been greatly improved too.
What is not to like?:)
Awful. :/
Now if only you could plug it in with yer oaf hoof.
