Windows 7 or Windows 10? Do you want to upgrade and have constant updates or stay in Win 7 and keep the status quo?

Matt from Henderson

Microsoft has given up to the end of January for people who use Windows 7 to upgrade to Windows 10. Now I have read in this particular article why you shouldn't upgrade to windows 10 because of the automatic updates every 5 min or so and apparently there are ads galore on you open certain programmes.

www.computerworld.com...

I am not solely convinced that Windows 10 is a better version than Window 7.

Anyone got any comments they would like to share about this?

I have seen on different ads on TV such as Harvey Norman, JB HIFI, that sells laptops for about $200-300 roughly. Now on those laptops they run the Google Chrome software which run for about 2 years, I think? What happens after the user of that Google Chrome software finishes after the 2 year period? Will they have to get a new piece of equipment to get another product with different software on it?

I here Linux is actually a good alternative to Windows. Many different users on Youtube have found that Linux is a better version to use. Yes it might get a user to get your head around the software itself but it seems to be a better choice, or the other thing is get yourself a MAC laptop. Yet different software again. You will have to get around the different file changes too and the different formatting, not like Windows.

Anyways just wanting to say HAPPY NEW 2020! Let's us see what the year bring ahead this year.
