Windows 7 vs Windows 10??
-
I personally prefer window 7. Windows 7 holds on to tradition from previous releases such as Windows XP and Windows 98 and features a familiar, simplistic and easy to understand user interface. Want to find your program? Simply hit the Start button and find it in the list. Want to quickly add a printer or visit the control panel? Simply click the link to the right side of the Start Menu. Asides from a fancy “Aero” and glass look, there are no distractions that get in your way. All the important information and settings you typically want are right there, front and center.

Start Menü Lists got longer and longer and not every program uninstalled completely. That was a mess!
Doing that in Win10? Easy as hell:- Program? -> Press "Win" and type the first letters. Bingo.
- Printer? -> Press "Win" and type "Printer" -> First hit "Printers & Scanners" -> click and add
Why should Win10 be "so much bloated or complicated"? Can't see that at all. And as a bonus having a windows with half-way decent hardware recognition and driver support is a real treat. Also: Dark Mode.

Hey. I am new to this forum. I would choose Windows 7 because I’ve been using it for a long time and got used to it. I do not like the interface in Windows 10. But I am sure that Windows 10 has better characteristics

And its a 10 year old OS, that has already exceeded is support model.. And will be cut off from any future patches and support in 6 months..
If you don't like windows 10 - then pick another OS that are current and supported - there are plenty of linux and or even bsd distro's to choose from..
All good things must come to end!

Much better off with Win10 from security and update standpoints. If you don't like the UI of Win10, you can always add a program like Classic Shell to give you the equivalent look and feel of Win7. That's what I did on my 2012R2 Server (which is similar to Win8.1 with its horrible Little Tikes interface). Works a treat as the Brits say.

Apparently the ability to pay for extended support for Windows 7 does exist. Im looking to do that for one machine here due to the software I run that wont run on 10. But everything else is going to 10 within the next few months that is not already there. I too prefer Win 7 but good things must end and we must bend to some engineers twisted way..
If you run Windows 10 and want to debloat it those tools do exist and I will say help allot!
As Johnpoz stated above you can turn off the automatic updates fairly easily.

Of course, windows 10. 10 has many advantages, of course it has a lot of content to deal with, but it's worth it.

Obviously Windows 10 as everyone moves with the latest version which is bug-free and secure as compared to the older version

This thread is obsolete. It did serve as a honeypot for spammers (who can't see all the deleted spam posts here) though.
Locking it anyway though.
