Good post. Bump!
Thanks for the post.
You were screwed at Windows 3.11....................

To answer you question, you can keep using Windows 7 as long as you want. I still have a machine that I use about once a week that operates on Windows XP.
The computer does not know that Microsoft is no longer supporting it.
When I jump on my XP machine from my Windows 10 I think wow how much cleaner is this operating system. Windows 10 is okay but you will find the same, that Windows 7 is much nicer to work on.
I spent hours downloading the free Windows ten on my old computers which I love and spent umpteen minutes uninstalling junk as well as other functions which I consider an invasion of privacy. My old Microsoft Office still works well on the newer windows. I am grateful to the Freepers who helped provide guidance during the process. I’m a little technically challenged.
They said, well a didn’t they but still a they.. OS2 Warp support was ending too.
If you have a valid license for Windows 7, you can update to Windows 10 from Microsoft for free, since it will use the activated license for Windows 7.
Oops. . .I meant to say I changed other functions.
Try Linux Zorin — windows-like program (more or less); easy to switch to.
Only thing it won’t do is play some games (it will play others), and while it plays YouTube find, it can’t play Amazon Prime.

Downloaded Win 10 on my desktop years ago. Still like XP better. Just downloaded it on my sister’s Win 7 laptop after years of avoiding it.
I did it three weeks ago. Works like a charm.
This die hard Windows 7 fan is just about ready to join the Windows 10 crowd (and yes I also have Loonix installed). Windows 10 actually runs smoother on the machines I've been testing on.
You can get legitimate Window’s 10 keys on eBay for under $10. All three of my computers have Windows 10 Pro keys I obtained that way. When I reinstall Windows 10 the key is automatically restored, which proves it is registered with Microsoft.
OS2 Warp had so much potential. Sad.
bump for later
I bought a new puter on sale at Christmas time with Win 10 in it. I need to find some kid that can configure everything for me.
Gonna use Win 7 as long as I can.
