![]() What do any of you think of windows 7 ending their extend support in 2020? I know its ways off, but as a win 7 user who does not in any way shape or form want windows 10, i dont even want to upgrade until the night of the end of support, if i do. Do you think Microsoft will extend it past January 2020, or let it reach end of life and force us to upgrade? Windows XP did this years back to get users to migrate to windows 7, But i recently saw, win7 still leads all operating home system's by a large margin. I guess i personally dont see the draw of windows 10, from the screen shots i have seen, it looks like a tablet with no start menu, I think im old fashioned, i want my desktop screen to resemble a desktop.

![]() There is no need to upgrade if you don't want to.
Just because support will end, doesn't mean anything will change on your system. Just keep sevenforums handy in case you need a little help from your friends ![]()

![]() It is what it is, I suppose. To be honest I am surprised they are giving it a couple more years. Developers and producers of these operating systems and hardware are to the point where they expect everyone to be eager to get the latest and "greatest". Once the tablet and cellphone races began, I expected all tech companies to follow suit.
Win 10 took just a tiny bit of time to get used to, it really isn't that much different. Switching and keeping a more classic Windows look and feel is easy enough. I don't ask much from my PCs except fast downloading and lots of storage, so you may have other wants and needs. |

![]() Probably on my part a dumb question, but i have my windows 7 set up as the 'classic' view, the small start menu, icons on my desktop, ( my computer, recycle bin, etc) , Does windows 10 allow that view? or do you need the modern tablet interface view? Thats honestly a huge reason for me why i dont want it, the look of the desktop with the 3 dimensional cube picture and the icons that look like a tablet. Does it have the option of making it look like windows 7? like a solid color blank backround, icons and a start menu?

![]() Considering I still run XP on my laptop no one "forced" me to upgrade. Heck, I ran Windows 2000 Pro until 2011. That's when I went to Windows 7. I'll "upgrade" when I replace this PC. It's almost 7 years old and is maxed out on memory, so it's probably nearing time to replace anyway.
When MS dropped XP support it was still the largest in-use OS out there. That quickly changed. Corporations tend to not upgrade until support ceases, but once people get used to an OS at work they get it at home so they aren't always having to use something different. I don't like the Look and feel of Win 10, but I have used it (briefly, at work). That's happened every time- from Windows 3.1 to 95, then 2K and XP. Vista was a big change, didn't use it, too unstable. 7 was stable but I had to get used to it. 10 has been around now for over 5 years but I have never gotten used to it. I would have, if I had continued to use it at work but I got laid off and haven't had an IT position since. |

![]() People like windows 7 cause its relatively exactly the same as windows 2000 and XP, you have your icons, start menu, folders right their, the clock in the corner, hit IE explorer and your good to go. You know aswell as i do in jan of 2020 companys that use win7 will keep using it. Awhile ago i was in a medical office and i walked by a few computers and they were using windows XP. The logo was up, screen was on, everything worked. So like you said, you only upgrade if you need to, not because you're being told to. I would guess the main feature that would cause to upgrade is the security features, obviously a system thats using windows 10 is a bit safe than one running windows 2000.

![]() I'm not looking forward to Windows 7 lifespan ending. It happens. Technology moves forward. With that being said, I do not want to use Windows 10 Telemetry edition. So, I'll move to Arch Linux. Yes, it is very well possible to use an OS past its life-span, but that's a huge risk. Viruses and malware are getting more and more craftier. I'll probably still dual-boot but Linux will be my main OS when the time comes

![]() windows 10 does have a start menu, it was windows 8 that had no start menu and it boots into a normal desk top.

Windows 10 has all the good stuff from windows 7, everything is basically the same just with a few different layout options and new menus. |
