I don't wanna go to Windows 10 and don't like the look of it (the windows 8 tile crap mostly). How much longer will I be able to use my Windows 7? I believe I purchased it as OEM when I built my computer in 2011.

Thanks :)

Forever, as long as you don't change the motherboard.
And for Win 10 and 'tiles'? I never see those unless I specifically invoke them. Rarely.

Sorry, one more question. If I do a clean install of Windows 7 from my OEM disk that I purchased in 2011 (I think), will I be able to get all the updates from Microsoft up until now for the clean install?

Thanks :)

Yes. It may take a while, though...:)
