My desktop hasn't properly installed a security update in at least 5
years, and even Microsoft Certified I have been unable to discover why
and correct it. The failure codes are not decipherable. Why do I
mention that? Well, I'm not too worried, about Windows 7 security.
As long as a good third party AV program and Firewall are available
I'm sticking with Win 7.
Windows 10 has been made more like Android, an OS I've been coming to
loath, in all the wrong ways. I'm really hoping that Microsoft
realizes that the world needs a great Desktop OS and they'll go back
to producing one instead of a hybrid desktop/moble OS. I'm not
holding my breath however.
I know I'll have to move somewhere when the day no new updates to AV
programs and Firewalls that run on Win7 are being built, but as of now
about 30% of the desktops on the internet are still Windows 7 so
someone will support that market.

there is still that little ghost window at the bottom of my screen -
when I right click I get 4 choices whick include "check your upgrade
status" and get a response that they will send email to my pc. I
think I can upgrade free.. but I can't remember and I don't know
where the "key" is, or even the date I got this computer.. can't find
the paper work
I love my HP 8000 with 4gb ram and 1 tb hd - I need to backup stuff
onto an external drive at some point this month..
When I got the HP bus a tech help guy sang it's praises and said it
would surely last 10 years, etcetc...
now - can I stay on Win 7 a bit longer than January without living
too dangerously?
can I avoid getting a new or refurbished desktop that has Win 10 on it ?
No snarky comments about how I shuld get a MAc puleeze :)
