Microsoft begins notifying users about ending Windows 7 support

HAHA ok. What ever. I ran Win 7 on my Ryzen rig as a test, and it was not as snappy, and USB 3.0/3.1 and networking speeds were slower. NVME speeds were a tad less, not faster, and modern games ran better on 10 then 7. Gee what a shocker there.
You are prolly one of those weirdos at first that was stuck on XP all the way up till 2010, then somehow become a fanboy of Win 7. Win 7 is 10 years old almost now, give it up. While its a great OS, its dead. Deal with it.

 

not a shocker, you had the wrong drivers installed.

 

Microsoft begins notifying users about ending Windows 7 support.
Oh, great!
Soo many options to choose from -umm, what Windows 10?
Guess I'll go with a poor quality project, privacy concerned user-friendly with 100 % full control, aka Linux.

 

Question is, are you really going to Linux.

Or is it just another crying post about Windows 10.

 

I am committed to Linux already. My HTPC, both laptops are fully Linux powered. My main computer has it, only an 8.1 partition remained with all my game saves and setting which I use to extract my Steam and GOG saves, settings and some stuff.
For me, it's crystal clear.
More, not practicing what you preach is called hypocrisy. Hope that statement never bite me in the back.
