I do have a couple of win10 laptops. They aint bad, but I specifically purchased my win7 as one of the last win7's available at Staples in 2015, in response to MS's bad behavior in forcing Win10 onto my ex's puter. I ain't gonna change it any time soon. EVERYTHING works and I even made a copy of the OS hd in case of a crash or ransomware. And I copy all my data to an 10tb external and disconnect it.

As for Firefox, it's not the lack of updates that got me mad. I'm at ver56 on my win7 machine. 57 caused the Addon Apocolypse so I downgraded that and was able to restore my addons. I neeeeeeeeeeeed my Status4evar. I also use Waterfox Classic a lot since it allows all the old addons too.



I guess I hold a little bit of a grudge when it comes to upgrades.
