The minor hassle involved in making Windows 10 a far superior option to Windows 7 can be completed in about the same amount of time as it would take to manually install one of these third party "security" updates. It's just turning off a bunch of ad tracking settings if you're bothered by them, and uninstalling a bit of preloaded rubbish and you aren't relying on a third party to inspect code and port patches as best they are able.
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoThis is assuming that the ads and tracking are the things holding people back. Windows 10 has plenty of other issues compared to 7 - UI sluggishness and visual glitches being one that I've experienced.
- Krasnol 7y agoFrom my experience it isn't even true for "just" the ads and tracking. Considering that you have to redo it again after a major patch to be sure it gets even worse.
- icebraining 7y agoYeah, I don't doubt I can disable most of that crap by this time, I just don't really see anything to gain from the upgrade, except for the official security fixes. I use Win10 on my work laptop, and I read a few reviews, and I'm left quite indifferent to it.
