New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

We still use Windows 7 on our home computer. I had 10 on the 'puter at work and didn't like it.

Windows 7 has high risk unpatched widely known vulnerabilities and should not be used online. Offline is fine.

   I've spent months of my life reloadin Windows because my Registry Hack didn't work and I was too stoned to make a backup.  $$$$

I can always reverse whatever I've done to the registry... And I never mind rubbing it off. Seems like Win has always liked a fresh install now and then. If I crater it that badly, it was probably time for a refit.

   I chastise the few Customers I have still running it constantly, for clinging on to that RELIC~Windows 7, @mountaineer, it's a bi1ch to support

I know. They keep reminding me it isn't supported and I must upgrade. For our purposes, though, and for the time being, here we'll stay.

Used Win10 boxen, easily 10x the power of a win7 era machine, are all over the place for fifty bucks or less.

Jussayin.

I have no idea what you said, being utterly computer illiterate.

I have my doubts you can even run Win10 or 11 on your machine.....

Yay, planned obsolescence. It's annoying to have to keep spending money to upgrade hardware and software, when all we want to do is check emails!

Well you can't be THAT illiterate.... You're logged in. 

I just mean to say that the bottom of the useful used barrel has surpassed anything from the Win7 days... Shoot, Win10 is dang near done now... Pretty much ANY Win10 used box you could find that runs and has decent RAM would be whole generations ahead of a Win7 era box in both speed and power... And power savings, and about any other metric you might employ...

Time to lever up. Find a nice used Win10 box that your friends are taking out to the curb and upgrade.

Is there a realistic non-Microsoft alternative to Windows 10 (or 11)?

Is there a realistic non-Microsoft alternative to Windows 10 (or 11)?

Yes. Either Mac or Linux... Though Linux is not for the uninitiated.

I would greatly prefer Linux or Windows, but many folks prefer Mac. Too spendy for me.
