The person offering the PC said they can reformat it with Windows 11, but I've still got a Windows 7 disc I can use. I've heard a lot of negative things about Windows 11, like apparent spyware, and it not being very user-friendly... Should I make the upgrade, or stick with my old OS?

While I wish we could go back in time to the glory days of Windows 7, if you plan on playing newer games you're going to have to get Windows 10/11 at some point. There is no avoiding it.

It's beyond time to let Windows 7 go, bro. Do you want a PC susceptible to exploits?

It is sad, however, that the only way to play the classic old Windows 95,98/XP games is to essentially run a friggin virtual machine that runs the old Windows.

Hell I was still using Vista until a few years after Windows 10.

You must hate yourself. Vista was the worst.

Unless you don't plan on having this PC connected to the internet, go with Windows 11. Windows 7 is no longer supported which makes it very vulnerable to threats.

You can still use your 7 key to upgrade to 10 last I heard. That would be the best bet.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

There's no reason to still be using Windows 7 whatsoever.

That's one reason I wanna stick with Windows 7. So far, all the modern PC games I want to play can still work with Windows 7.

Is it that bad? I should be okay if I'm safe with browsing, right?

Why are you so averse to upgrading from Windows 7? What features do you think you'll be missing out on?

You could have major problems with Windows 7. Because it's not up to date with today games and programs.

also Windows is pretty much free if you dont mind a watermark asking to activate it. theres programs you can use to set a background image like wallpaper engine on steam, which is dirt cheap.

download it here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
