    Using 7 on my desktop but the laptop had 8 when I got it. 8 sucks really badly when you don't have a touch screen so upgraded to 10 as soon as it came out.

    B, a guy at work uses an app called Start Is Back that makes 8 and 10 work more like 7.

    Since I dont use the home puter for much more than internet anymore, 7 is just fine for me.

    I installed classic shell, that make the start menu "normal." Now it seems familiar, more polished, and actually has decent hardware detection and support.

    That's a good question because I never even looked at Windows 10, had a quick look at 8 didn't like that
    When I get a new laptop am I going to want to remove 10 and install 7 instead?

    Classic shell?
    I will cross that bridge when I come to it, maybe I'll get back with you.
    I'm sure there's information out there if I want to search

    It is a free app that installs with about three clicks, check it out when the time comes.

    Funny, I remember using a similar app that put a start menu on windows 3.1! It was called Calmira.
