R.I.P Today Jan the 14th windows 7 is officially gone.

It'll continue to live though I would use it if I had a spare PC but since I'm happy with Windows 10 I'm not complaining. I have all versions on Virtualbox anyway for the nostalgia.

Uh oh. My computer still runs it. I guess I should... I don't know, upgrade or something?

@FaeLuna Don't it doesn't really matter unless you want to try windows 10.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Sweet! I'm slow and resistant to changing operating systems for some reason. I ran out XP past the support date for that too.

@FaeLuna Windows 10 is functionally similar and generally better. And importantly, secure.

FaeLuna · 31-35, F

@CountScrofula Yeah, I use it at work, so I'm used to it. I could make the change if I wanted too. I'm mostly just concerned about the possibility of losing compatibility with some of my programs. I'll have to recheck to see if those rumors are still true.

@FaeLuna It'll vary by program. Compatibility mode can also work for most things. Like i haven't run into that many issues. I'm not an early adopter but I tend to keep on OS releases.

@FaeLuna Basically it's fundamentally the same OS as Windows 7.

The move from XP to Vista was far more traumatic for everyone because of some fundamental changes they made.
