Windows 7

I'd give it another 6 years at least

>it's redundancy

nigger what?


win7 is perfectly usable. install, update, disable scheduled tasks, and you're done.

no forced udpates, no telemetry horse shit, no new """features""" every two weeks.

>>59173274
For as long as something similar to it is maintained, which is a least 2026.

>>59173316
You know what ((Microsoft)) are like. They'll make .exe redundant and kill the platform.

When all games move to the new directX

>>59173396
literally this

>>59173396
Touche.

January 14, 2020 is what they have listed as end of extended support for 7, January 10, 2023 for 8. Dont know where you got 2026

I couldn't install it on my 6700 system.
Too many bugs to get it running.

Happend around 2013 when the first ransom-wares appeared. At first this was no problem because of updates, but when I had to turn them off (because of the agressive Win10 upgrade shit), I formatted all my disks and switched to Fedora.

>>59173396
I doubt this will happen, read the recent article on techpowerup regarding dx12. I'm hoping the gpu manufacturers comes up with some new shit to end the microjews bullshit.

>>59174175
No, they'll probably call it Windows Infinite. Because it will so good you cant put a number on it, or some stupid shit like that.

Trust me, they will make a new os.

You should look up what "redundant" means.

>>59174591
It's already happening

>implying Microsoft could get rid of binary files.

>Haven't updated windows 7 in ~2 years now
I'm guess I'll keep using this on my main desktop until the end of time

The only reason I don't use XP is it lacks the ram for serious multitasking

Should I finally upgrade?

>>59175024
I don't see why. Windows 10 isn't good. I have 10 on my surface and 7 on my desktop and if I knew how to lowjack my tablet to use 7 I would.

Aside from the needless clutter and bass-ackwards interface 10 really does hijack your device and installs needless updates whenever it wants while 7 just sort of sits here like a good boy.

>>59175024
Imo the only usable version of Windows 10 is LTSB; anything else is going to force updates and break itself. Nothing wrong with Windows 7.

>>59173274
believe it or not, there's still people out there using windows 98

Use Windows 7 iso to make DVD, boot tablet from USB DVD drive, diskpart/format hard drive, install Windows 7. Most important part is diskpart to destroy the Win10 boot partition.
