Why are you still using Win7?

[Rafael Mestdag]

I've lost count of how many times I've gone back to Win7 after trying Win10 for a while. I always go back to 7 because it seems to me it is a much more polished and better finished product than Win10. The UI is way better looking and it works perfectly in every way. So for me, I'll let MS iron out the bugs and keep Win7 until it's no longer supported.

I have 6 machines all on Win 10 , no issues flawless , everyone has a different Experience.

7 is AND ALWAYS WILL BE GREAT.

I have one Windows 7 system left because it's my HTPC with a critical component that requires media center and is not supported under Windows 10 (natively). My primary system has been running Windows 10 for about six months now with only modest issues; cleared up by a reboot.

For myself, it's really a matter of sticking with what works until there is a pressing need to change. Win7 is well-proven at this point and is still good for four more years. The fact that I've always rode the coattails of technology helps. My main system is a now-ancient Core 2 Quad. I've souped it up in the last year, and actually in process of making a couple more upgrades to it. It still does modestly well for games and just about anything else I might care to dabble in, but the fact is I'm running on hardware standards that predates Win7 itself. If I had the desire, to say nothing of the budget, to stay current on hardware, the need to upgrade would probably press on me more.

Even with the incentive of a free upgrade and a hassle-free rollback if I don't like it, I'm ok with eventually have to pony up for an upgrade when extended support ends. My experience with Win7 has been almost universally positive, and I'm not one to mess around with a good thing.

Tried & True, as simple as that. When a new OS has something I cannot do without, call me then.

I never upgraded since my computer has an enterprise copy of Windows 7. Since my CPU so conveniently died I'll be upgrading and installing Windows 10 Pro with my new components.

At my school we'll still be running Windows 7 probably until Windows Server 2016 comes out.
