Honestly, only *you* can ultimately decide if moving to Windows 10 isI ask because I am still running Win 7. Can I ask if there any other advantages to Win 7 besides privacy? Or is Win 10 better now?
type control panel in cortana, see if that will do for ya.Windows 10 all the way.
I have zero issues with "privacy". Compared to Google, Facebook and Amazon; MS doesn't even seem to be using my Personal DATA.
I do have some issues, mainly the old control panel (I want it back!!!). But for me its so much better than 7.
Still running 7 on almost all computers at work. I'm using 7 and 10 side by side, and I cannot fathom why some people would say 10 is better. Many things work exactly the same, others are worse (start menu), while some are much worse (settings app vs. control panel mess), and the rest of it that is just annoying (many useful or convenient features ripped out compared to 7) There is literally one thing I can mention that is better in 10: The built in task manager shows gpu usage, THAT's it.
And on top it's plagued by weird bugs, like for example I cannot start a command prompt by typing it in search. It just doesn't work.
As of now you can still uninstall it.All of the telemetry is now on Windows 7 and 8 anyways
When Windows 7 support ends, I’ll be moving everything to Linux since Windows 10 is the last version of Windows Microsoft will ever release.
When I built my machine I tried 10 for a week before it got stuck on a blue screen on boot, so I went back to my Win7 image. I'll be here till 2020 or if I need to do a reinstall, other than that I see no rush to upgrade.

That's any easy thing to say if you're not sitting on a shitload of stuff that's only Windows compatible. This is at the heart of the disagreement over this subject.

wusa /uninstall isn't what I'd call a third-party hack, but I half agree with you3rd party hacks to remove features that shouldn’t be a part of an OS.

That's any easy thing to say if you're not sitting on a shitload of stuff that's only Windows compatible. This is at the heart of the disagreement over this subject. I have no problem wiping out every Windows PC I have and installing some Linux distro. That's simple. Everything else because an nightmare that not even uber Linux folks can handle without long drawn out debates over this or that or the other over things that have worked great forever for me personally.
If one can make the switch and get "away" from Windows then do it. But the reason I stick with Windows isn't because of Windows or how wonderful Microsoft is. It's because of all this stuff, the overwhelming majority of if not coming from Microsoft that's only Windows compatible and cost a lot damn more than a cheap ass Windows license or dozens.
Are you on Win10? This was about Win7. It's been awhile since I uninstalled those updates, want me to let you know when they're back?Except Microsoft laughs at wusa /uninstall since the same crapware will be right back reinstalled in the next forced "feature" update a few months later.
Certainly worth keeping an eye on if you don't have windows update blocked, since Microsoft tends to reissue controversial KB updates under new KB#'s, usually with a pointless vague description.Are you on Win10?

I'd very much like to, if it wasn't broken in my w10. I just love it when people assume I'm an idiot.I start cmd.exe by typing 'cmd' in search all the time...

Let's get something straight. Windows 7 is for desktop. Windows 10 is supposed to be a desktop os as well. So comparing it to 7 as a tablet OS is pointless.If you use a convertible, tablet or touch capable device, Windows 10 is WAY better. 10 also works much better out of the box with multiple and high-DPI monitors and scales much better across mixed DPI density screens. Those are big deals to me because I use that stuff. And as you say, many things work the same, the desktop apps I've used for years, nothing is different.
The Start in Windows 10, I like that better in 10 versus 7. It's just so much easier to arrange it terms of priority and even get some info from it and it works well across keyboard and mouse and touch interaction. I live in Windows and have for years. I get the issues with telemetry and the updates but there's nothing I'd get from Windows 7 at this point that's more than I'd loose.
