So I had some people call me in asking for some advice about either buy a new PC or just Upgrade from 7 to Windows 10. They linked me something I wasn't aware but I gave them an answer by simply get a new PC. Newer PCs tend to handle newer Systems very well but that's just me.

Don't know about you all but I know a lot of people are still using Windows 7 Because of the fact it just works fine for them. I still have mine on my old PC and it still works. What do you all think? You think Microsoft is making a mistake shutting down Support to Windows 7 at this point in Time or do you think its about that time they do it.

Here more info about it.

BTW PGI. What are you guys going to do with this happening since this game was built during Windows 7 days. You guys going to continue making the game playable on Windows 7?

Trojan Horse 10 works great, never had any probs the last 11months since I have my new rig with win10.

Sounds like windows 7, for the last so many years, reliable
Don't like the auto update drivers, bandwidth killer,
changing stuff that isnt broke can be problematic on occasions

My tinfoil hat tells me they gave it away
Tinny asks why they did that.

Not that Win 7 maybe don't have a back door but its made of tinfoil compared to Trojan 10 Tinny says.

ive had plenty of problems with windows 10. particularly the audio subsystem and the networking. used to be i could see all my computers on the network, but now i have to go look up their ips and access them directly. its really inconvenient as i do all my backups over the network. the sound subsystem comes from the way windows sets default devices rather than let me decide device priority explicitly. i hate waiting 20 minutes for an fp game just to not have my sound worked because i watched a movie earlier or used my wireless headphones. i could do without the schizophrenic ui too.
