Needlessly rude and needlessly pro-e-waste. I don't have any non-Embedded (with EWF so they are fresh at every boot) Windows 7 systems but am really really sick of the forced upgrade treadmill in all of computing.
- Sohcahtoa82 2y agoYou're not forced to upgrade. It's not like Windows 7 will suddenly stop working. If you have it installed already, you can keep using it. It's just a "continue at your own risk" situation.
- spartanatreyu 2y ago> Needlessly rude and needlessly pro-e-waste. I've got to disagree with you there. The hardware isn't safe enough for windows to run on it anymore, it's too much of an easy target. If you want to keep using that hardware then put linux on it.
- transpute 2y ago> put linux on it Then run Windows 7 in a VM on Linux.
- Lammy 2y agoLots of embedded systems (including mine) are used to control specialized expensive hardware and aren't something one can just “put Linux on”. I say this as someone with several Linux desktops/laptops, so it's not like I'm averse to non-Windows.
