In the news twice recently was windows updates breaking pc's. also taking away local accounts.

Gibson Research made this one click and change 6 registries stopping the automatic operating updates. You still get key security patches so windows may still F... you but it's worth doing even if you manually update after you test if the windows update is safe. (what has the world come too).
Your operating system is under your control.
I still run 10 and it stopped the forced upgrade to 11 constantly getting in my face

I love these folks and use their software. My internet computer still runs Win7 like a charm and gives me no problems. My graphics computer which DOESN'T go online runs a hacked version of Win10 which has all the crap ripped out of it.

8 Hours agoThanks Bob, This rig is still on 7 because of all the work still on it and I like 7 the most. Especially with all the driver updates and tweaks over the years it is a faster operating system then both my win10 rigs.
Sadly I have to stay updated with the unreal stuff if I want to make my projects but I feel better taking the new pc online after running incontrol. A tech at college gave me a copy of sytinternals way back in the 90's and it's been with me since. Another great GRC set of tools.

A few months ago, I bought copies of Win98 2nd Ed., WinXP w/SP3, and Win7 Pro (all of which can be installed without having to connect to one of Microsoft's servers) off of eBay, and I'm trying to buy up as much retro tech as I can. There's really very little that I need to be on the cutting edge of technology for.

8 Hours agoyour not alone, I know of several people doing the same and also collecting dvd's cd's and of course books. I have collected so many pdf books but there's nothing like the real thing.
I do have enough parts to build an older setup to run linux but it's a lot of effort when your busy doing other things.
