Anyone still using Windows 7 or everyone upgraded the OS to Windows 10? As Win 7 still remains many users favorite thought of bringing up this question.
 
I know some people that still users Windows 7 and have said will you update to 10 and try to say Nope unless they are willing to do something that 7 doesn't or can't do.

I been using 10 since the beta/Alpha does LOL
 
I know many companies still using Win 7, we bug them every other week and they still do not want it. Even though using Win 7 is a security risk.... Soon we will have to just force the update.
 
I upgraded to Windows 10 from 8, when Microsoft were offering free upgrades. I know many people who are still using Windows 7, though. Most companies are still using this operating system as most of their programs aren't compatible with newer operating systems like Windows 10.
 
Yes many companies use Window 7 due to its system requirements and many are not willing to upgrade the hardware just for Windows 10. So Win 7 will continue for little longer.
 
I still use Windows 7 in my personal laptop and desktop.
Only because I have custom themes installed for that OS version and I couldn't find such rich themes anywhere else. Most of the folks I know reprimanded me about it, but I just couldn't bring myself to upgrade my OS. I am gonna regret it someday but for now, I am happy to be using Windows 7.
If I do find a good Itachi theme for Windows 10, then I am going to upgrade my OS version for sure. Until then, I am going to keep on using any current OS and custom theme of Itachi
 
I don't, would really love to but don't. I know many companies still do since they have special software that will most likely never be updated to windows 10.
 
Some of the banks still users Windows XP LOL

Even the self-services checkouts use XP. I use them all the time and at times need to approve or just them and the OS is XP LOL
 
My mother hasn't updated her laptop from windows 7 yet, as she would rather wait till it no longer functions, than to spend the money to get a new laptop preemptively.
 
My main gaming rig and my laptop both still use windows 7. I even have it cuatomized on my laptop so it looks like windows 98!

Awesome! Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your desktop? Windows 98 brings back so much of my childhood memories.
 
Yeah sure! Just give me a few minutes and I will get that for you! It makes me nostalgic as hell, too!
Edit how does it look @Alexander 20200712_102659.jpg

The only place I had been using Windows 7, and it was forced, was at work... but we actually transitioned every one to Windows 10 literally at the end of 2019 and start of 2020.

I've used every new version of Windows on release or even on the final beta stages. I'm even planning on upgrading to the new MacOS when it's gone through a few beta releases. No reason waiting and I just love trying new things.
 
I never had Windows 7. I had windows Vista and then Windows 8
 
I quit using Windows 7 a long time ago back when Windows 10 came out in 2015. I think it's a better OS in many ways. I recently bought a laptop back in late November and it came with Windows 10.
 
The XP dethroner. Lost all support 2 years ago and it's the obvious reason we all need to move on like we all did from Windows 98SE to XP, then XP to 7 and 7 to 10 :P
