Well, praise be to Allah that alt-right politicians have confirmed that there's no global warming, that's all I can say.

Well said.
I, personally, think Eddy got a hold of some really good drugs, and has lost his ever loving mind; for the time being at least (I hope  ).

Upvoted, will make a lot of people happy.
I didn't click, as I already paid a small ransom in licenses over the years. Unless Windows comes for free, I'm not interested.

No thanks required, you deserved it. Will be a nice present for people looking to upgrade

If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I upgraded all of my windows 7 boxes at home to Linux over a year ago, and haven’t looked back. Funny thing is that I haven’t had a single update issue since upgrading. Makes me wish I’d stuck with Windows. Not.

A mix of Mint, Ubuntu (Gnome), and Lubuntu.

Update issues with Windows 10: As far as I can remember the only issue I had with 10, is that it changes my default printer after updates. A minor annoyance. I have not had any major issues with 10 since I switched from Windows 7 and 8.

Same here (Linux Mint). S-o-o-o straightforward.
Windows 10 is MSFT's Project Hailstorm back with a vengeance.
Where I live, freegeek.org refurbishes donated computers, and installs Linux.
They make them affordable to a lot of people; notebooks for $100.
And not-Win10 means good speed on a four-year-old PC.

However, it seems (at least as of 27 Nov 2019) you can use your Win7 or Win8 product key to activate an upgrade or fresh install of Win 10.
If you don't remember your existing key, you can retrieve it using ProduKey[^] (free).

Thanks for posting. It may help others!

But.. why upgrade now? When you resisted for so long!

Quote: When you resisted for so long!
I did not resist. I upgraded very soon after 10 became available. I posted this message for those who did resist and possibly regret it now.

Windows 7 forever!!!
Some of our PCs in the lab are running XP just fine. But they're sandboxed, not on the interwebs net.
