Who's sticking with Windows 7?

Download links

As it turns out I just don't have Windows Update KB3035583 OR KB2952664. I want to get them, but when I click on the update, it says it failed and there's no button to get it again. I think it's on the official link, but the viruses I have prevent me from doing so, screaming "Important security message. These popups mean you have an adware spyware virus on your computer. Please go to the link below or call us at (I dunno)." In a loop. Won't let me do anything else. So I don't know if it IS on the official link.

I don't have any of those Windows 10 upgrade updates installed but here's what I think are the download links.

As for your malware - other members are better at dealing with that so no suggestions from me.

I can't though because of all the viruses prevent me from doing anything online. I am typing this up on my iPad.

For the third time

Did you "Get Malwarebytes Anti-Malware free and scan with rootkit detection enabled (settings - detection)."?

You can get it on another computer and carry with a USB stick. If it doesn't work due to a nasty infection, you can get Malwarebytes Chameleon from the same site too.

Well I went to the link and got a BSOD. I couldn't read it fast enough, as 5 seconds later my computer shut itself down and made a sizzling noise.

I will carry this on to the Mac fourms. Bye!

Nothing wrong with those download links.

Nothing wrong with those download links.

Besides showing hxxp instead of http
I have a feeling you edited them :/

I guess you found a new way to crash a Apple product

 

[Qwertyfish01]

No! I was trying to say that if I couldn't fix it and then I would get a Mac. But I did fix it. I am downloading the update to get Windows 10 right now. Anyway, back on topic! Who Is sticking with Windows seven? do you know they have a 20 Day trial? neither did I! just saying you should probably back of your computer and just get the trial. if you don't though, you could revert right back to how it was! Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's either 20 or 30 days.

sorry for all the errors, I was using Siri to type this because I'm really slow at typing

As far as I know M$ has given a 9 month trial of 10

Easues have released a tool to roll back to Windows 7 after a 10 upgrade if you don't like 10.

Edit: Link to website removed.

@Callender

When you see **** that in a website link, that means the forum owner or Administrator has blocked link to that website.

 

[ThrashZone]

That would explain the odd characters in both posts,
xx and now *******

 

[derekimo]

Someone purposely put the "xx" in those links, probably because they are direct downloads.

The ***** are filters put in because of abuse or spam or other reasons deemed necessary.

 

[Ilove]

I'm using both Win 7 and Win 10. I like them both. For me, Win 7 is like first love, while Win 10 is current GF.

Spot on.

xx was to avoid users clicking on the link and initiating a download. I removed the other link as it seems that there are reasons not to post links to that website!

I used Win 95 until 2004.
I used XP until 2012.
I've only had Win 7 for 3 years.
I plan on using 7 until its EOL in 2020 or I get a motherboard that does not support it, whichever comes first.
I pay good money for a full OS install disc and I expect to get every last ounce of use out of it.
So long as Windows 7 works on my hardware, I see no reason to "upgrade".
Let the early adopters be the beta testers and guinea pigs. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[Qwertyfish01]

Happy Windows 10 day everyone! I hope this reporter guy got his results... I'ts been like 2 weeks. If not, he does not work fast.

 

[gdfsgdfg]

Will be staying on windows 7 until directx12 proves to be better than 11.

 

[in2christ]

I've decided to stay with Windows 7. Big Brother (aka Microsoft) is one good reason to avoid Win10. I also don't care for the user interface. Lots of little things that I dislike.

 

[kabo0m]

Questions I think one should ask.
These are the question I ask myself.

1. What will Windows 10 do that Windows 7 won't do?
2. What options does Windows 10 have that Windows 7 doesn't have?
3. Does one want or need those added options?
4. What user control does one loose with Windows 10 such as Windows Updates; maybe more.
5. Does one have the reasonable internet that will allow downloading Windows 10.
6. Can one buy Windows 10 DVD from Microsoft through a legal Retailer?
7. Forget the free version. Is Windows 10 worth buying?

Thank you for this. I actually found your thread because it was referenced by PC WORLD.

I reserved but still haven't done it because I am one of many Win 7 users hesitant as well as suspicious of MS REAL intentions with offering this for free.
