Server 2008 as well

My company still has a ton of those though -_-

But anyone with windows 7 still should disconnect from the internet and get a windows 10 device for internet use tbh

Bullshit. You'll just stop receiving updates, which I disabled back in 2017. My PC is still running strong, never got a virus (Kaspersky is GOAT), and I will NEVER use Windows 10.

I'd rather switch to Linux than use that abomination mobile-wannabe design they got going on with w10.

I still use Windows 7 for software development on my secondary machine. It still runs some older software better than Windows 10 does.

Why? Is somebody going to send a message to a server I'm not running, get past my router's firewall, download CC information I don't have and delete my backups that are on a separate flash drive that isn't plugged in?

If they can do all that, Microsoft's updates aren't going to save me.

If you use facebook, shop online, do internet banking then its a reasonable risk

Only problem I with Windows 10 is the difficulty locking down the update channels, even with enterprise tools like WSUS. Otherwise Windows 7 feels archaic to me now.

Or who were clever enough to realise that just like Windows XP that Windows 7 would also have extended support.

Extended support is more expensive than upgrading and no matter how much you pay you only get 3 years extended support max so you have to upgrade anyway

Because it's better than navigating a tiny popup in the corner or cluttering a desktop with icons

It's faster and more organized than any other way of accessing programs

"Better" is subjective and i disagree
"Faster" is objectively false
"More organised" is objectively false

Take note im talking about the start menu and not the desktop, which i dont use either

Windows 7 is fine until someone discovers a new exploit.

Then you should stop using it
Until then though, it is as safe as 10.

That also may not happen.

I guarentee its already happened. What hackers will do is find exploits months or years in advance and then sit on it until EoL. So i 100% guarentee there were new exploits released already

Whelp, guess I'd better get Windows 10 now. At least I got to enjoy using 7 while the rest of its life lasted because I spent WAY too long using Vista and I'll never get those years of my life back.

8 is a better alternative to 10 if you must upgrade

10 is literally just Windows 8.2 and you don't have to install 3rd party stuff if you really want the archaic start menu back

10 is hot garbage unless you're using LTSB/LTSC.

Why have you put them both together like they are even remotely similar?

LTSB is meant for things like ATMs and factory floor machinery. Not machines that are meant to be used by actual productive people.
