Just gonna forget the fact we are being forced to move to Win10 when most people configure 10 to be similar to 7. There is nothing wrong with Win7 just gonna drop support on something digital, that you can easily replicate. But you hear the clamor "it's ten years owd". Meanwhile car manufacturers are required to supply PHYSICAL repair parts for at least 15 years and that's just one example. You cannot replicate physical objects like you can software. The software is not going to degrade due to physical weathering. I call BS. Eventually we'll be led down the path of subscription model like Adobe. While they moved to subscription model the people with old copies of the software find solace clutching it to their chest. Thinking "Thank gawd I don't have to pay monthly for CS access."<br><br><br>But really it is said and done and accepted by the peoples so we'll just carry on...,(reply>), It might not degrade due to <i>physical</i> weathering... but software support (and hardware support) starts going out the window pretty quickly after Microsoft drops support for it.  Once complete support is gone, hardware manufacturers are going to move on so quick it will make your head spin.  At that point, buying new hardware will become a gamble.  Will my new motherboard and CPU work properly?  I dunno, maybe.
