LOL. You just edged me out. My oldest computer is a Dell Inspiron 530 which is 10 years old. I use it because of a routine that I wrote that parses and massages a lot of EOD data and puts it into 40-50 spreadsheets in well under 5 minutes. I was devastated last month when it died but I got an identical power supply replacement from Amazon for $41. Me happy :->)
Classic Shell is to the rescue! I never had a "it is not W7" feeling using 10, because I don't use the colored squares or what the fuck they call them. Thanks to Classic Shell, I have been living in a blessed ignorance since 10 was forced on new laptops. http://www.classicshell.net
Thanks but Im quite content with Windows 7, fast, reliable, no hiccups. As a power user I use Take Command https://jpsoft.com/products/take-command.html and frankly all working as intended.
Sure, but maybe once in a decade you do buy a new computer. They tend to come with W10, just so you know. And new computers are faster using 10 than 7, in case you want to make it double booted.
New computers run W10 faster than W7 ? I honestly thought it was the other way around due to how bloated W10 is.
It's true. I had W7 on my laptop and moved to W10, there was slightly better responsiveness and the certain type of lag that was present in W7 is gone. Much of the bloat can be disabled but overall there is more trash sitting in the memory, that's true.
