If you can cope with the apparent privacy invasion (I deliberately have NOT got an MS account), I would upgrade to Win10. It's actually a *good* blend of 7 and 8 - most amazingly :-)
There are in Internet lists of what one should do to W10 to configure it for privacy. I have one such for deactivating "Cortana", but as it is in Spanish I will not post it here. Google is your friend, then ;-)
Apparently MS are killing it at the end of the year, but if you upgrade 7 to 10 via the "assistive technologies" route it's still free. Or if you search Amazon you can buy genuine OEM keys for about £10. I've done both.
I got one such key to create a virtual W virtual machine on Linux :-)
I shouldn't be advertising MS on a linux list :-) but if people *are* running windows I would personally recommend the upgrade. (Oh - and one of the systems I upgraded was a high-end Vista system. The owner was well pleased with the improvement.)
I think the same. The worst nuisance for those of us that only runs W very ocassionally is the time wasted on its upgrades. It can be many hours! Linux is so much easier... Ah, they also say that you do not need run an antivirus on it. Go figure. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
