Forums say this is a good thing, but some say this will become a subscription sort of thing.
I HATE ---really absolutely positively HATE--- windows 8.X. Can't stand it. Hate the tiles, Hate the whole fucking thing. It's probably great in a tablet, but I'm using a laptop.
So if I upgrade, to 10, what is it like....More like 8, or can it be like 7? And if I DON'T upgrade, then what? At some point next year or whatever I can't use my machine and haveta upgrade anyway? (or buy a new machine or whatever?)
(knowledgeable) Advice is sought.
Please, don't advise me to go Linux.
ETA: Is Microsoft gonna continue to support 7 after 10 comes down the pike? Or will those of us who
Enquiring minds wanno know and all that.
Win 10 is further down the Win 8 trail.
ReplyDeleteTurn back now.
I have been sticking with Win7, and it has treated me well. Most Win 8 packages do have the ability to downgrade to win 7, I don't know if you were aware of that.
ReplyDeleteMe, I'm sticking with 7 until the next platform, whatever it is, is proven, stable, and not full of useless gimmicks.
Yeah, but my one machine where I had 8 (and then 8.1) it wouldn't downgrade.
ReplyDeleteI am debating on trying to put windows ten on a separate partition on the drive so I can choose either 8 or 10 at start up. Been several years since I have done multiple OS's on a computer. Have to do some investigating on the how to with modern OS's. I hate 8, but like you, my computer won't do 7. Still, it is a free upgrade from Microsoft, so I am not out anything.
ReplyDeleteNot a clue... I've gone to MACs and dumped windoze...
