Same here. Though I have a hard drive with W10 on it, my primary O/S’s are still XP and W7, dual-booted on the same hard drive.

I have 2 desktop HP units w/ Win-7 Pro x64, and am protected with Norton 360 and MalwareBytes Pro. I’m also learning Linux mint v18.3 Cinnamon for the future; an amazing O/S.

I have Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon too. I can use it pretty well and it does most of what I need to do. But the office suite is substandard versus MicroThief Office and I have spreadsheets that won't port over due to their extreme size.

Other than that, Linux should suffice into the future as W7 falls out of use. But I still plan on maintaining my W7 system and I'll still be using it for quite some time. If W10 didn't spy on people and send data back to MicroThief I wouldn't have much of a problem with the current version, but due to their stealing data I'm not a fan.

The developer of Classic Shell stopped working on it. The New developer renamed it Open Shell. And another change and it is now Open Shell Menu. Works like Open Shell which acts like Classic.

I’m 100% with you on all that. I’ll keep W7 on both my units running as long as I can, then go over to Linux... or something.
