Still use windows 7 in 2019 ?

Windows 7 is good but Windows 10 is better than Windows 7 for security purposes.

Some companies use very proprietary software or hardware that cannot easily be upgraded or replaced. I interned at a local dried fruit company in the IT dept. and they had a few XP-era servers and systems that ran certain programs or hardware. They either cannot upgrade due to the cost or they just don't want to at all.
My manager has been wanting to replace those systems for years, but its not his decision to upgrade them.

me too. but it will no longer receive updates in January.
since i hate Win10 with a passion, ixm opting for Linux Mint.

Well,there's really nothing wrong with Windows 10 except for the surveillance which for the most part can be disabled. Windows 7 was a good operating system,Microsoft should have stayed with it.

I also prefer windows 7

yes but it wont last much longer. so back to linux

Well...your choices are 7,8,8.1 and 10.

8,8.1 and 10 SUCK.

And we are on the fifth version of 10. Microsoft doesn't tell you this at all.  It STILL sucks.

New machines don't have 7 and 7 doesn't get properly recognized on the new processors...which is STUPID.

If I have to use 10...I make it LOOK at FEEL like seven...and lots of things you need to do what we used to do is STILL THERE. Control Panel for example.

LINUX is getting better. There are some Windows Compatible rebuilds in the works too. ReactOS is one.

Yea, I have an older puter with win 7 I intend to use several more years.
I have older yet with XP pro and do my own maintenance now that MS no longer supports it, even write my own custom device drivers for the newer hardware.
I am on Win 10 now, a learning curve but been a great OS so far for my new power dell machine.
