Russell I have just got newer desk top and I chose this because it came with Windows 7.
I know my way around this OS and it suits the things I do...especially the craft stuff. I did not want to be having to load stuff onto this new machine(a trial in itself) and having to get used to a new OS(this must be a sign of ageing......I was always comfortable with change until recently)
I really, really don't want windows 10 and am suspicious because they are giving it away.
Is this so they have a captive audience that widens their already massive sales base for other add on products.
I don't like feeling that I have to have something that I do not want.
I will wait until I can see it up and running on someone elses machine before I would even consider it on mine.
A near neighbour of mine downloaded it and she has had nothing but trouble with it, so she has reverted back to Windows 7
