Windows 7- end of an era

I've still got an old laptop running Windows XP. I only fire it up once in a blue moon though.

Blimey, I have only just migrated from W7 to W8.

Have M/S ensured that W10 is hack proof and will it read my W3 documents?

Seems as though M/S want a £300 bung off us every three years or so just so we can keep in the loop.

Personally I would shoot the guy that invented the computer and go back to paper and pencil.

I fell out of love with Microsoft a few years ago.  Bought a new high-end PC running Windows 10 and along comes latest software update - completely cream-crackered it to the extent that after 3 trips to Curry's Tech Team, even they gave up trying to sort it. 

One of the problems with W10 is that you can't turn off Automatic Updates - so even restoring it to before the upgrade meant that as soon as it was switched on again, it did the upgrade again!

Got a full refund after 6 months ownership and bought a Mac - haven't looked back and would never return to Windows now.

I went the other way R, from Mac to Windows, mainly because of the lack of software around for the Mac and its costs. Even if it is now a better OS, I just cannot be bothered to learn a new system, it s time consuming enough carrying out an upgrade on a system you are familiar with. W3 migrates fine to W365 and so far I have only found one of my Apps that won't migrate and I have just about finished the task and haven't lost any data.
