Don't you have to pay to upgrade your OS?

Sometimes. I just hope you realize that sticking with an obsolete operating system for this long means you're computer inevitably won't work just fine, as you say it has been.

Vista is really bad. Aren't you eligible for a free Windows 10 upgrade?

You should probably just get a new computer.

Yeah, the $120 for Windows 10 would be better spent towards a new PC.

I have no need to spend money on a new computer right now, and there's way I'm spending money to upgrade my OS, especially since I hate the new Windows OSs. I'll probably just have to find an alternative to iTunes to use for now.

Either way you're using an OS that Microsoft no longer supports. You might find yourself in a situation where you can't do something to keep yourself secure again in the future.

Also you say you don't like the newer Microsoft operating systems all while using the worst of the versions that could be considered modern.

That's a bummer, because there are about 50 things that rank far ahead of replacing my computer in terms of money. And even those things are delayed because I'm moving.

Meh. It's easy to navigate. That's all I care about. I don't do anything very system-intensive.

My wife has it on hers and I think it's a pain to use. I hate that they replaced the start menu with that impossible monstrosity that covers your whole screen with colors and icons. I can't figure it out. Seems very unintuitive.

Are you thinking of Windows 8?

There are programs you can download that make the newer versions of Windows look more like the old ones. I use Classic Shell on Windows 8.1 and it works great
