I heard a piece of a report last week that Microsoft was sending out some kind of security update for XP! Apparently they feel guilt about leaving the still-XP users completely out in the cold!

I should add to my own post that I do still have two Windows 7 machines also. One that isn't up to Win 10 requirements, other one to keep my hand in 7.

I am happily using Windows 7 Professional. Have been for years. Will change to whatever is current OS when this computer dies.

A man after my own heart.

I am an old geezer and hate Win 10. I can never remember how to access everything.

My current computer came with Win 8, to me 10 is a HUGE improvement. I'm used to having more than one window open and visible and tiled on the screen. 8 was torture.

You could always tile windows. They just had to be small enough to fit on the monitor.

On the Mac, the equivalent is the psychedelic spinning pizza wheel of death.

As of January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer be supporting Windows 7!
(Two laptops and a desktop.)
It was just a matter of when.

Windows 7 will still work just fine. You just won't get anymore security updates from Microsoft, so just be careful what you click on and make sure you are protected by a top notch Internet Security program like ESET or Kaspersky. I currently have 2 laptops running window 10, 1 laptop running windows 7, one desktop running windows 7 (gaming machine with Microsoft Flight Sim on Steam), one desktop running windows XP, and the computer I am on now which is a dual boot op system with Windows XP and Windows 7. No operating problems on any of them. Not to worry. They keep telling you that will no longer support the older operating systems to scare you into buying their new stuff.
