Why do so much people hate Windows 10? I don't see what's wrong with it Infact it is my fave Windows Opreating System! Does anyone agree!
No hate but being on older hardware, I really see no immediate burning reason to switch to W10 from W7.
By older hardware you mean ???? what pentium 3 and 256MB of ram or something from atleast this decade because I have to tell you my system isn't exactly a spring chicken and 10 runs great on way better than 7 ever did
Q9550 with 8GB of RAM. I'm sure Windows 10 runs great but I have no issues with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, it performs well, boots quickly thanks to an SSD and runs all my games just fine really.
I'm not arguing that Windows 10 isn't better than Windows 7 (it better be!) but I just don't see the reason to fork out the cash when I have a perfectly fine running 64-bit OS. I think it's a little shady from Microsoft to force Kaby Lake users to use Windows 10 without any real good reason other than boosting Windows 10 sales but they're in the business of selling software of course. So if I were to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 1600 or i5-8400, I would look into getting Windows 10 but until that time, I really see no urge to buy Windows 10.
Hi. @ErikNZ You may still be able to get W10 free. If your happy with W7, It will still be sported for a few years.
I loved W7, but I'm also really liking W10 a lot.(y)I liked XP. Too!

I've found windows 10 to be an awesome OS...
... I suggest you download and use a tiny program ... tell it turn everything off and you're good to go..
Like everything it has its upside and its downsides.
I find, for example, that it is the best working Windows I have used. When apps crash, they don't bring down the system, it doesn't seem to slow down over time and need reinstalling, but then I am not happy with things like, for example, Cortana, that the OS has to capture every keystroke (keylogger) and have a microphone on, capturing not only your voice, but all sounds in a room and that all this belongs to MS to do with as they will.
Is the problem Windows 10? Well only partly, we live in a new digital age that has come upon us relatively suddenly. The rules we played by are now all in flux. Governments and legislation are far behind the leading edge. Growing pains of a new type of society. Being older I didn't grow up with the surveillance state and am uncomfortable with it. People born with a smartphone in their hand will have a different outlook. People who grew up in 'free' countries may also think differently than those who lived in countries where you had to watch what you said or allowed in print.
