Windows 7 was acceptable in that everything we used it for was more or less
stable (depending on application, some of the custom instrument software was
easily broken by updates).

Last night I did a Win 7 to 10 upgrade using a USB drive created with

This was the 15th I've done in the last 2 weeks.

Which may break drivers for hardware you depend on. They get to do that without
even telling you...
Also without telling you they'll replace manufacturer specific drivers with
generic versions that don't work.
I'm pretty salty about "automatic driver updates", it's pretty hard on my
customers.

You can find people who sell a hard drive with Win10 preloaded on eBay for not
too much money. Check their reviews as sometimes Win10 is loaded but the
license number is not valid. It will work, but constantly remind you to
activate Windows. Or you might try some of the parts sellers on eBay

Heh. "An operating system is just a way to start emacs"
I'm not that hardcore. For example, I don't use it for email or
web browsing. Most of the time.

Do like I did and join a company where it is provided for you?
I don't much like it, it's weird, but so far it's been stable. For work I use

Me too. Colleague at work did the free upgrade, then swapped in a new hard
drive and reinstalled 7, and went back and forth until he was happy with 10. I
didn't have time to mess with that.

In 2017?
Sometimes I regret not taking the 'free upgrade' to get Win10 licenses when it
was free and then just reinstalling Win7.

It's unfortunate that some of you hate Windows. I've used it since it was a
separate app that ran on DOS. Win 3.1 was deviled by uncontrolled DLL files.
Win 95 tried to be compatible with everyone. Win 98 was good. Win XP was
really good. Rarely used Win 2000. Win 7 was extremely stable.

If Windows had written the computer program for NASA for the flight to the
moon, our astronauts would be frozen, dead, and circling Uranus while
waiting to dive into the sun of a distant galaxy.
It is time for someone to write something better, much better.

Symantec and MS have not been able to play nice since W10 came out.
Their AV product is a legacy program that needs to go away, but they don’t want

We’re moving away from them at work for just this reason. Windows Defender is

with Symantec (I think) anti-virus stuff we have endless issues with
