Windows 7 will not be update-able after 2020. No way would I buy a Windows 7 computer. I just updated two Win 7 computers to Windows 10 before the Jan 1 deadline.
My point being that I don’t like the ribbons in Windows 10 file explorer but I will grin and bear with them. Far preferable to being unable to update after 2020 which MS has declared is Win7 end of life.
This is my computer, bought and paid for. I will determine when my Windows 7 Professional is at end of life. MSFT can go jump off a bridge!
Somewhere along the way I'll prolly begin experimenting with Linux. Win7 directly to Linux.
I know that’s true about the 2020 update deadline and am OK with that. Can’t imagine why I’d want to update it. I’m still trying to figure out when an MS update has resulted in anything positive. In fact, I’ve got dibs on friend’s XP when he moves and downsizes.
Since when does Microsoft make that call? I know people who are running WinXP without problems.
