Windows7 is my OS, what's yours?

Vayra86 · Nov 8, 2016

Win 10, and its starting to grow on me. I was a big fan of 7, and I'm becoming a big fan of 10 right now.

I'm even starting to like the Edge browser and may EVEN toss out Chrome real soon.

What is happening to me!

personally i want to take win 10 but im too lazy to download the driver and reinstall everything

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

I can't go back to Windows 7, it is so archaic compared to Windows 10. It's like going back to XP after I had switched to Windows 7.

Linux. To make a long story, short: two times in a row Windows tried to install a major update to Windows 10 and two times it left my computer in a broken state. It seems to me that they have work to do. Windows 10 works great when it's running after a clean installation but, big updates makes it feel like Vista all over again. There are enough games available in Linux where I can deal with it because gaming isn't really as important to me as it used to be and me being able to do my job and do professional development is a little more important.

Well i have only ever had 1 update issue with Windows Vista, how ever win10 i am getting real sick of the bullshit. Even picking a good time to update seems to render one or the other un usable for a good 30 mins or longer, 4th time now after a update like the last one this system got it was stuck on the loading windows for infinity.

My main gaming PC that will not even update to the last major update just fails every time.

The one my Wife uses it just inconvenience by time a update is done it's cut in to a big part of the time she had available which reminds me i need to disable the updates hehe.

Funny none of these issue's were around until windows 10 was released. Sure had a issue here and there but nothing like this BS.

No problems whatsoever with windows 8.1 here.
No surprises that something won't work anymore after some update, I do the updating manually but works fine.

Upgrading my main to Win 10 while I'm writing this - I had it on my laptop for some time now and don't have any issues with it (apart from the annoying updates).

Essentially this.

I really don't like how MS seems to have laid off their QA team though. There has been issues with updates that really should not be problems. Like the webcam thing, and new sound card drivers makes some sound programs inoperable, and in some cases fudges up entire computers (up to the point of it being talked about in local media).

Apart from that, aye Windows 7 is just cumbersome now.

Because of the way M.S. is rolling out updates in packs now, I may well install Windows 10, but i'm just damn comfortable with W7 at the moment, and I don't really see a need to change just yet.

The problem with the packs is now you can't eliminate that one nagging update that causes problems. It would be great if, as @Frick said, they had not laid off their entire QA department. :laugh:

Seemingly whenever i install a new Nvidia driver on Windows 10 it's stable and works great, then all of a sudden "Windows has installed updates" and games suddenly just stop working, like i will play a game and it will just freeze, i can Alt+Tab and then the application will crash hard and close.

Revert to old drivers and then it's fine... like a mine field.

Why should we have to work so hard, unnecessarily, to keep our PCs operating at peak? I just don't have time to fix all of the issues,.................especially when they crop up in the middle of an important task that I ~have~ to complete right away.
I still have one PC running 10, but using it is a pain in the ass.

Think of me as a Luddite, ("small-minded and resisting progress") I don't care. Windows 7 is far more stable, and it runs without problems 99.9% of the time.

Microsoft is using their market share advantage to stuff their new monetized OS down our throats. With all of the Win-7 updates baked-in together, they can have their way with us, regardless of what we want.
I deeply resent this.
