    They moved me to 10. Blew everything up and took me months to get it how I liked it. Damn Bill Gates.

    MS did all it could to get everyone to leave win7. Since when does Microsoft give away a brand new operationg system for a full year. That alone told me to NOT go near win 10.

    Win 10 has components that spy on in many different ways, it was especially insidious when it first came out, now there are alot of fixs, but what people dont know when you Update win 10 the over ride the fixs and reverse them, so you have to keep re installing them.

    You would be able to update win7 manually for many years, its relatively simple but most wont do it. Years ago everyone had to update manually dialups werent reliable and dropped connections trying DL installs. You would dl the package and install. You can do that with Win7 indefinitely, they still do it for win98 and vista.

    I use Windows 7 at work and I love it. Made the mistake of having Windows 8 put on the last home computer I bought and I can't stand it. At least I don't have to worry about updating my work computer - that's what we pay the I.T.s for.

    I finally gave up and upgraded everything to 10. I know it spies, but I "end task" Cortana every time I reboot - it takes like 8 tries to keep it from coming back. The rest of 10 is decent.

    Win 10 was keeping the camera on in your computer and on laptops and recording what it could see without your knowledge at one time.

    Theres software to strip 10 of most of its spying but when you do necessary updates they put them back so its a continuous battle.

    Microsoft said there will never be another totally new operating system or windows again, just major updates to 10 that will cost as much as new software. Makes it much easier for them and cheaper

    This will only stop when consumers embrace the dark side - Linux.
