Windows 7 end-of-life nag messages will start showing up next month
Starting next month, the operating system will show users a "courtesy reminder" to tell them that security updates will cease and that Windows 10 (and hardware to run it on) exists. Microsoft promises that the message will only appear a "handful of times" during 2019 and that there will be a "do not notify me again" checkbox that will definitely suppress any future messages.

Use Linux Mint instead. It's an awesome OS.

I got a system with win 8.1 and I'm stuck trying to find a way to put win 7 on it. I rarely use that machine - it's an I-7 POS.

There's no reason to go to win 10 ever. I have no idea what it does better than win 7.

BTW, whatever happened to win 9?

And yes, I'm considering several flavors of linux.

its garbage, everything microsoft makes is garbage.

They are in the software business and cannot write

Just put Windows 10 on your machine.

It's a fantastic OS.

Never an issue.

Do it.

Microsoft tard says what?

Mint rarely crashes and boots 10x faster than windows on hardware that is considered obsolete by Microsoft.

Now kindly fuck off.

Try Linux Mint Jake. Don't do it on your primary machine, do it on a spare system first and see if you like it.

I think you will.

It's not a OS for gamers, but for web surfing and such it's the bomb.

About two months ago I received a voice message telling me my Vista was no longer supported and my computer was not going to work anymore. Could not stop laughing.

Over a year ago I installed Linux in my eMachine and never looked back. I even still use the roller ball mouse.

The "garbage" that microsoft made 10-20 years ago works better than crap that people make today. Including linux.

Thanks. I'll see if the rest of the OS can be crippled so as to avoid telemetry. Google started leashing their Android systems, and now MS is trying to do the same thing.

Like windows provided any security to begin with. That's just the software part. The hardware security is even worse. Thanks for the useless thread.

Mint plays lots of games, in fact any game that runs on Steam OS should run on a Mintbox. In fact I'm installing alien arena on my Raspberry Pi. Holy cow does the Pi slow down when you're doing stuff to the sd card.

I haven't allowed any updates since that whole forced Windows 10 thing from a few years ago. Haven't had a problem yet.
