Windows 7 users are taking their time upgrading to Windows 10

Data from NetMarketShare shows that the Windows 10 users barely grew over the course of June, increasing by just 0.06% to a market share of 45.79%.

Windows 7's market share dropped slightly from 35.44% to 35.38%, and these numbers are expected to continue their decline after Microsoft announced that support for this operating system will end in January 2020.

I h ave been running Win7 Ultimate since the day of its release.

Call me a Luddite if you wish, but why look for trouble - by upgrading to 10 - when 7 meets all of my needs ?

First thing I did was upgrade all computers in my home to Win 10. No issues yet.

There is always one exception that proves the rule.

No Kidding Sherlock. Some Windows 7 users will NEVER upgrade to Winblows 10.

Like me, do have it in a VM though.

I had to upgrade due to some software not working on 7. Bought Start10 for $3 as I don’t like the 10 Start menu.

Well not until the machine it is installed on is totally dysfunctional and we sorta kinda have to. At which point there will be much crying and wailing and gnashing of teeth. But... one ray of sunshine, maybe windows will have released something functional by then.

Quite a few games are Win10 only.

Officially sure but you can probably get them to work on 7

I work on both each every day, some things on Win 10 is better than Win 7, other are better on Win 7 than 10.

Like wifi vs LAN, Win 10 knows to rather use the LAN than the wifi, while Win 10 remember the wifi, even if you do not tick the Automatically connect, which was great in Win 7 if you just want to give someone a temp connection to a wifi hotspot, which will be gone on disconnect or restart.

Now that Win 10 can add printers instantly, not much I can complain about from support side.

Honestly, not worth the hassle, same reason why I dual boot with Windows 10. Gaming works better than Manjaro which I use daily.

Are you not plagued with Linux issues, sitting on the terminal the whole day?

Nope, why would I be? All my regular apps work fine, Manjaro even has microsoft office online baked in.

Not that many as far as I can tell, but then again I find almost nothing noteworthy in modern pay-to-win grinder games anyway so I might have missed a few you are thinking of.
