I have a reservation that they may have changed it now. Because I was under the impression that
second line was Easy Setting Box User Manual -All Languages.

For 15 years, people can drive drunk, never having any accident, but that doesn't mean driving drunk is safe and without any risk what-so-ever.
Essentially same is with outdated OS. For outdated OS, none of the software it runs gets updated. And without software and OS updates, vulnerabilities that are found on daily basis, will not get fixed and patched.

Here's informative video for you to watch. While it mostly talks about WinXP and why it is terrible idea to connect that ancient OS to the internet, same applies to all outdated OS'es and he also explains why;

Nothing is completely safe, and win10/11 have the same risks.
Win7 can update software, don't worry. Mandatory OS change every 3 or 4 years is a ploy by MS to make more and more money:))
Win XP cannot be compared to 7, they have limited features.

Now, back to our topic,
it's still unclear what is better to choose when in game.
FreeSync on or Response Time extreme?

Looks like you read it wrong.

There was download link from the very beginning. Else-ways, i would've not linked it.

Anyone who had Win7, were able to upgrade to Win10 for free. Which i did with my builds. And now, you can upgrade from Win10 to Win11 for free as well. So, what kind of "making more money" are you talking about? :unsure:

If you don't like MS, no-one is forcing you to use it. Feel free to pick any GNU/Linux distro. There are 600+ of those, most of them for €/£/$ 0.

In the past, i've used XandrosOS, Ubuntu Eee and Debian. I have Lubuntu on my laptop currently and Linux Mint on my USB drive as bootable OS, that i can install at any given time, either in-place of my Win OS or as dual-boot.

it's still unclear what is better to choose when in game.

You said that you don't play games. So... :rolleyes:

But test it out by yourself and look which is better suited for your feel.
