Don't risk it. Enough people complain about broken Windows 10 update to make it a big risk. You can't go back to 7, its sale will end soon. Use 8.1 to its last breadth and then either buy a Win10 device or install Linux (Mint or Ubuntu).Oh 8.1 sucks, make no mistake. But it's not so terrible to merit the risk of something even worse. Frankly I wish I could go back to 7.
There is no risk. Image your drive and you can return to it in under an hour.Oh 8.1 sucks, make no mistake. But it's not so terrible to merit the risk of something even worse. Frankly I wish I could go back to 7.
Again, not worth the time or hassle. And there is always some risk.There is no risk. Image your drive and you can return to it in under an hour.
No, came with 8.1.You don't have a 7 license for that machine?
Can, but won't. Not compared to Win 7 anyway. I'd bet a month's pay on that.Newer OS APIs and kernel (which can mean improvements in stability for applications and hardware)
Which I already have thx for classic shell, as you mentionedreturn of the Start menu (in a way*),
LOL @ "Microsoft support." Talk about an oxymoronlonger amount of time until end of support.
I have a coworker that upgraded. They had to replace a few of their peripherals in order to get full working of their system. Printer-scanner, etc...None. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Worked on my first Win10 unit today. Appealing, advanced, polished OS in many ways. But unfortunately it brings out MS's control side in spades. Updates are not (normally) optional or configurable. I went to shut down the machine, and was greeted with a working screen that said, "Getting Windows Ready. Do not shut off your computer". This has been for twenty minutes so far. Thankfully I was not in the field and did not have to take the unit anywhere. And getting ready for WHAT? Zero information. Just trust the boys at Redmond, the same ones who put a keylogger in the beta. They know what's best for you.
It's too bad, because it could have been fantastic, but as it is I won't put it on any machine of mine. MS has had its time bullying the market, and it is drawing to a close.
Classic Shell aesthetics wise is horrible. Have you seen Start8?Which I already have thx for classic shell, as you mentioned
So what was broken with DOS?None. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
? Because? Works fine for me and looks fine to me.Classic Shell aesthetics wise is horrible.
