Author Topic: Anyone use Windows 7 still?  (Read 5568 times)


Tbh i dont like the win10 start menu, moved too many things for me to just immediately get used to

I'M RIGEL AND I MADE WINDOWS 7

i have windows 10 and i dont like it

its a shame they're still even attempting to do any support with windows vista lol

as i said i use 8.1 but i haven't upgraded to 10 yet because well i just don't feel like it yet
everything works fine for me on 8.1 and nothing on 10 interests me at the moment so i just don't want to bother
but maybe my next computer i'd probably get in a few years will come with 10 and i'd be alright with it

wait they still are wtf why it's older than 7

im stuck with windows vista running on a machine from 2007 until we can get some money (aka ill have it until i get a job)

I happily watched the clock run out on that free upgrade bullstuff they were doing. I can't say I felt too pressured by it, when literally none of the features anyone had tried to sell me on appealed to me. Not regretting it, as I listen to people who are forced to choose between having no updates at all, or being required to reboot their computers at the worst possible times so they can install some update that removes even more options from the control panel. Sticking with 7 for now, probably eventually gonna jump ship to Linux.

I still use windows 7. Mostly because it works just fine as it is right now. Until my computer breaks I really don't see any good reason for me to upgrade right now.This. Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 has been having some "black screen" issues with W10. Minecraft also has some issues with W10. Specifically some people have said that all their servers from the server list where gone once they upgrade.
This is all just bullstuff. I've seen plenty of Windows 10 installations run multiple versions of Minecraft just fine. As for Car Mechanic Simulator 2015, according to all the support threads I read, it came down to driver issues (people didn't upgrade their graphics card drivers post-install).

There is literally no compatibility issues with Windows 10, barring the SecuROM/SafeDisc driver removal, which also affects Windows 7 and Windows 8 users.

If the problem doesn't appear on 90%+ of Windows 10 user's devices, then it's not a problem with the Operating System.

Since you're on Windows 7 with a leaning towards Linux, you're biased against Microsoft anyway, so it doesn't surprise me that you're looking for excuses to call the newest, best OS "stuff".

i like windows 7 because it's simple :0

Compatability issues are the result of numerous contributing factors, not one single issue. They can affect anyone, and the more software someone uses in their workflow, the more likely that something will go wrong when doing something as significant as an OS change. If someone doesn't see any need to risk that happening to them, it's just delusional to try and convince them by pretending that the potential issues simply don't exist.

Since you're on Windows 7 with a leaning towards Linux, you're biased against Microsoft anyway,
Uh, you got it backwards. I'm still on 7 and leaning toward linux because I didn't approve of the direction Microsoft was going in. Unless you're just pointing those things out as indicators that I don't like Microsoft, in which case, yeah, no stuff Sherlock.

so it doesn't surprise me that you're looking for excuses to call the newest, best OS "stuff".
I didn't need to look very hard. Hell, they abused their update service to install one good reason right on to my computers. That stupid adware wouldn't take no for an answer, and acted as a pretty great representative for what I don't like about Windows 10.

i (as well as everyone in my family except my dad) upgraded to win10 with little to no problem. it's been going very well for me ever since, with a few minor irritations but that happens with all tech at some point or another.

my whole school still uses win7 tho

I upgraded to w10 last night because i was getting fed up with stuff on windows 7 (custom theming is a giant pain in the ass)
so far boot times have been decreased and it's kept compatibility with my gummiboot setup so it's not a massive pain in the ass currently
