As wonderful and superb Windows XP and 7 are support from the company, be it standard or extended, will eventually come to an end. As long as Norton, MalwareBytes, Eset and other such internet security companies will continue to support Win 7 it's very essential to use them. My XP is now offline; Win 7 will eventually go offline when such companies will stop supporting it as well.

Windows 10 worked miles better than Windows 7 and 8.1. No any blue screen of death. No any graphics driver crashes. No any issues. Now it runs Windows 11 as well. And runs super great. What I've done is only upgraded ram from 4GB to 8GB. And replaced my HDD with a new HDD as the previous one was dying. Nothing else. When you reinstall Windows no matter which version configure all settings as you like and disable stupid settings that kill the performance.

Thank goodness!
I really enjoyed 7 while it lasted but windows 8 and 8.1 were pretty much a cumbersome experience. I’m happy 8.1 gets the axe too. But I hope 10 gets extended. 🥺

After installing SSD, my Windows 7 laptop boots up in about 15-20 seconds or so.
And its the complete boot, not that hibernation stuff that Windows 10 smokes.

Antra, 10 Jan 2023wait people actually use windows 8? 8 no, but 8.1 is better. It is an improved version of 7 especially if you use third party software to bring back the start menu.
Unfortunately Microshaft needs that dollar so it will do what it can to push you on to their spyware OS's 10 & 11, gotta take part in that 'Data Capitalism'.

notafanboy, 11 Jan 2023Guess what, maybe it's time to upgrade your old crapWhat if I tell you that my latest gaming machine runs Windows 7, despite a full army of gentlemen who're doing all they can to make Windows 7 unusable?
And what makes Windows 7 old? Lack of drivers for new hardware, is it?
And what choice do we have, Windows 10 the spyware?

The usual slowdowns of older machines usually due to aging old hard drives. Simply upgrading to SSD can breath new life to these machines (and adding more RAM helps as well).
