The beauty of Windows 10 is that you can set it up like a pure Windows 95 - Windows 7-style experience if that's what you want.

I do xp classic style with windows 8.1 Start Bar, Task Bar all same as XP.

People saying "it was so ugly!"

Man, have you seen Titanfall XP? I'd take the glass-like, skeuomorphic stuff from Vista over the garish, bubbly language from XP. Hell, I went from Windows ME (!) to XP and thought the latter was ugly.

In any case, beyond the visual stuff, never had too big of a problem with Vista. My laptop with it died after a year and a half of use, but that was because (I learned too late) it was a problem with NVIDIA's model and I think the entire line of GPUs was fucking borked, not because of Vista itself.

Windows 10 is the only Windows version that is supported on the following processor generations:

Intel seventh (7th)-generation processors
AMD “Bristol Ridge”
Qualcomm “8996"

Because of how this support policy is implemented, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 devices that have a seventh generation or a later generation processor may no longer be able to scan or download updates through Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

Resolution

We recommend that you upgrade Windows 8.1-based and Window 7-based computers to Windows 10

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I never had a problem with Vista. It was superior to XP in every way. Granted, it needed a beast of a machine at the time to run it.

Same. I never even had a problem with Windows: ME. I suspect the reason is that I always built my own machines with better-than-average power for their times and popular name-brand parts that were well supported with drivers.

Is it open season for hackers after the support ends? Should I make my Vista running laptop offline only?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

The final security updates for Windows Vista were released today. 9 vulnerabilities (1 critical, 8 important) were patched today. After today, Vista will go unpatched.

Yeah, there's absolutely no question for me.

I was always helping friends and family with their computers and Vista's issues were mostly driver support and some dumb design ideas. It wasn't great, but it generally worked.

ME was a straight up buggy poorly functioning piece of shit. It was awful 5 minutes into normal use on a fresh install.
