Now, if Microsoft wants to update your O.S. They have always tried to “steer” Windows users in the directions they desired, but before Windows 10, there was always a way to disable or “opt-out” of their agenda. I’m not sure if Apple is like this, but Microsoft definitely is. The ethos of Windows has changed from one of empowering the user, to controlling the user. This way you can always go back and forth if you need too. Get another PC, they are cheap enough, leave that one with your Windows 7 and move on with a new one. Not only that, if you already have I think 8.1 and higher you can upgrade to it for free. I don’t use it much, just for gaming on my Mac with Parallels, but it functions pretty good and for me I like the way it’s set up now better than before too.

So … you’ve had a good run, Windows 11 is not all that bad.

I’ve had a good handful of them just up and stop working when updates come along on the apps themselves, and many don’t bother to tell you that they are updating to the newer operating systems, they just do it and now you’re out of luck. The biggest one being that about every 7 years, you have no choice but to upgrade because 25% of the apps you use are Apple apps and even if they aren’t the developers of the others update accordingly so their apps don’t work in the older versions anymore. I’m on a Mac, so yeah I can gloat, but it has it’s restrictions as well.

Windows has done so at least every couple years from day one so you’ve had a good run I believe. Usually a software tends to reinvent itself (and usually with a nice little upgrade fee to do it) every 4 years give or take. That’s literally unheard of in “most” software. Windows 7 was published in 2009, that’s 14 years ago and you’ve used it without having to update for that long now. Guys I understand your pain, but seriously you need to look at the facts.
