Hello Forum,
With Windows 7 reaching EOL January 14 2020 I sure read a lot on Windows 7 forums about how a lot of users are going to keep using Windows 7 unsupported and just refuse to do the Windows 10 free update / upgrade.
When I suggest to the to grab the Windows 10 update / upgrade while it is free and to give Windows 10 a try if for no other reason then to get a digital license.
OMG all of the reasons such as Microsoft ethics and how Microsoft is going to control my computer once I install Windows 10 and then not to mention all of the data collection that Microsoft will collect and sell and use how they want.
Are these users for real or are they just paranoid.
Do these users think using a unsupported and unsecured Windows OS is a good idea.
I'm aware of all the collection of user data however some of that collection of my data can be turned down by how I the user chooses to set up the user settings on my Windows 10 computer.
It's not just Microsoft collecting user data.
I wonder how many of these users are using Google Chrome / Android / Apple they collect user data and sell it for advertising you think any of those users realize that.
I to was somewhat concerned for the same reasons and then realized regardless of what I used somehow / somewhere / someway via any business or medical facility or credit card and banks my user data is already out in cyber space somewhere.
Perhaps it's just me but I don't understand I mean it's the same old same old with Windows 7 now reaching EOL just as it was years ago with Windows XP.
I wonder if it's the same users.
I don't like a lot of things about Windows 10 however it's free and it seems to work well for what I need to use a computer for and with minimal effort it works without problems on my 2010 computers.
My two bits.
Life is good.
