Is anyone still using Windows 7?

You mean there are other systems?

Using very well as primary PC. For things that W7 can't do, I connect to W11 gaming laptop via RDP or Steam Remote.

I have used, and continue to use, my W7 OS to this day.

When I have a game or program I cannot run, I had a W10 dual-boot installation set up to run it. I basically used the W10 version exclusively for playing "Helldivers II".

I have yet to find any good enough reason to give up on W7. Admittedly my computing needs are basic. Email handling, internet access, word processing, and data storage is all I need. I don't need lightning speeds for games (I'm an adult) or advanced video editing software, so with an eye firmly on the security aspect Windows 7 serves admirably and by using it I send a single finger salute to Microsoft.

My first post here. New to this community. I am still Using W7 Ultimate and refuse to give it up. I have other full retail copies of W7 Ultimate that I may put on other laptops but my concern is the vast updates it would needs such as SP1 and SP2.

A warm welcome to you.
There is a straightforward way to keep up with W7 updates that have been "cleansed" of unwanted telemetry and nag popups. I'm not certain if I would be allowed to post a link here because it is on another forum but with a bit of research you might find it. (or pm me)

If you are referring to Simplix, that is routinely discussed here. Unless something has changed, it's fine to discuss and recommend it.

Yes, the Simplix Update Pack. I'm not very tech savvy but it has worked well for me over a few years now.

Note that updates for the Simplix Update Pack come out about once a month.

I am not familiar with simplix. Is this a one size fits-all for everything that's been updated over the years?
