They still use Vista here. And dial-up internet.

This place is a fucking hellhole.

8 is working fine for me at the moment, so I don't see a reason to upgrade.

it's really the free offer that has me on the fence. I've got no issues with my current OS

What OS are you currently running, stip?

My general feeling is 7 > 10 > 8, with the caveat that official Windows 7 support ended earlier this year and you'll start seeing it phased out in more and more places next year.

As I said earlier in this thread, if you have a decent screen/monitor (not the typical 1366 x 768 horseshit) you should upgrade because 10 does a better job of scaling images and text. It also does a better job of cleaning (trimming) SSDs. On the downside 10 is slightly more power hungry.

Probably no real need at the moment then, because the normal day to day function is not very different between each version.

However in the long run, security updates for Win 7 will only be provided for so long. So eventually an upgrade will be required.

I'm still dicking around with Windows 8, so bear with me. The task manager is not a tab-able window, and is not on top by default. Who thought that was a good idea? What other features do I need to fix before I use them?

Windows 10 is wonderful. Just upgrade.

Self · **Posted:** Fri April 29, 2016 5:51 pm

Don't do it. 7 is so much better.

Do it. Justin is a murderer.

That was uncalled for. Apologize.
