Windows 7

From the 14 th of January Microsoft will no longer offer updates or support for their popular Windows 7 operating system.
Those of you who are running this OS will get full screen messages telling you to 'upgrade' to Windows 10.
This upgrade is free if you have a current valid Windows 7 key.

For those (like me) who dislike Windows 10 then your options are to continue using....but the OS will be less safe(if there is such a thing).
It will still work and the only problems that you might come up against are hardware issues....like if your printer dies, then a new printer will not be compatible with your current OS.
Other than that you could...if you are brave convert to Linux or some other non windows system.

I am going to 'wing it'.
