Final end of support for Windows 7 and 8.1

[Andy]

For those of you still using Windows 7 or 8.1 (and I know you are out there )- this is it. Microsoft has stopped all support for both. If you have a computer running one of those and it has internet access, it is time to upgrade.

100% agree >>> if your current pc won't support Win 10 or 11 and you want to continue using it due to budget constraints consider installing Linux. Ill be glad to help.

Thank you but NO; I will soldier on with my Windows 7 Pro; I have numerous machines here running Windows 7 and turned off updates as soon as I got them --- years ago --- I have had less problems running like that than I see from those who allow Microsoft to control things.

I don't foresee any problems or difficulties in the future; I have not needed Microsoft before now; I doubt I will need them anytime soon.

But that's just me; the newest vehicle I own is a 1991 - all mechanical - and the truck I drive every day is a 1985; I am the one everybody else calls upon to come rescue their modern junk when it lays down.

If you don't ever connect them to the network or plug in any type of device, then that might be ok until the hardware fails.
