Re: Now window 7 will not supported by microsoft

The Windows 7 OS will not be supported. But for a non-corporate user, most things like browsing would not present a problem. And most corporate operations have been moving towards Windows 10 since many years, so they would not face much problem.
But yeah spyware and ransomware attacks can arise, so one needs to use a good anti-virus software, though sometimes the anti virus companies themselves are not above suspicion!

It is good thing with window 10 that we need not to install anti virus if we used it.

With a PC, it's not really much work. Things are really much more user friendly than they used to be. I love how fast it is. Some laptops on the other hand are not very linux-friendly.

I am also considering a Mcintosh since I heard it is self repairing. Which sounds good to me.

You can have both linux and windows 7 on the same machine.
I do all my online work on Linux.
and all my gaming and streaming on windows 7.
I no longer really surf on win 7.
But I keep my anti virus updated which is all I can really do.
But streaming on facebook should still be safe.

You can ask in your shop to remove Windows. I think you should have option buy computer without any OS and later add yours.

Most of peoples are using windows. if Linux is better than it than why peoples are not prefering it.


Most people in our country are ignorant about Linux and they only know Windows as the only Operating System for a computer.
