What's your beef with W10, besides that's it's not MacOS?

I love W10. By far their best OS in some time in my experience.. though I don't have to administer it, I'm just a user of it.

Consider me in this boat as well. If you could live with Windows 7, you’ll be more than happy with 10.

Yes, and they fully set out why I don't appreciate Microsoft "forcing " me to upgrade to Win10.

ETA: and being dishonest and trying to get me to pay $200.00 for the privilege all the while knowing there's a free backdoor way to do it.

So, yes once I again I fart in Bill Gate's general direction and deservedly so...

To be fair, Apple hasn’t asked anyone to pay for an OS upgrade in a decade.

They don't advertise it but it's well known that if you download the upgrade tool and just go through with it, it will activate just fine on that Win7 license and you can fresh install Win10 from that Win7 license key in the future.



The hell. Is this real?

To be even more fair, Apple more than makes up for that on the front end by forcing you to overpay for hardware.

True, they just tell you that you have to buy new hardware.

That's bullshite....we upgraded our last laptop from 7 to 10 in 2018 and it was free.

Regardless if it's not free now I don't feel much pain anyone running any version of Windows that isn't 10....should have upgraded a long time ago.

maybe you should go find an old copy of DOS 3.1 and run that instead.

does apple not force you to upgrade? i have an iPad2 which i can't install any apps on including netflix and youtube because i'm told i must upgrade to a newer version of the system.

but Apple isn't forcing you right?
