If you're still using Windows 7, MS is allowing for a limited time a free upgrade to Windows 10.

You've always been able to upgrade to Windows 10 for free.
The CD keys for 7 work with 10.
Why would you? There's no reason to use Windows when you can just use Linux.

As much as I love Linux proprietary software is sort of antithetical to what it's all about. So good luck finding anything on Linux that can compete with, say, Autodesk or Adobe products. Not to mention the majority of AAA games that don't get native Linux releases.

Like, I mean that sounds like a personal problem.
I game on Linux just fine. There are a small selection of games with intrusive DRM that aren't worth your time anyways.

Windows is more accessible and has programs I want without having to sift through loads of crap to find something that actually works with Linux.

Huh, on 1/14/2020 you say? Win7 is no longer safe and we should migrate to Win10? Funny, I could've sworn something else related to Win10 happened on 1/14/2020...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/14/tech/nsa-microsoft-patch/index.html
NSA alerted Microsoft to major Windows 10 security flaw

:p

I (sadly) already have Win10. Just found the juxtaposition to be hilarious.

The NSA's rare announcement of the flaw, along with its decision to warn Microsoft rather than exploit the bug for intelligence purposes, underscores the magnitude of the threat it could pose to businesses, consumers and government agencies worldwide.


Actually it means that it's really not that big of a deal. If it actually posed a significant threat, the NSA wouldn't have said anything and just used it. The fact that the NSA told Microsoft means it's ultimately not really a threat.
