Answer» Almost done buying everything needed for my BEST build. Currently on our home PC and laptop we have Win. 8. We are def. not fans. And we do use the option to mimic Win 7. My wife and I both use Win. 7 work and are very comfortable with it. How crazy would I be if I installed Win. 7 (64bit prof). I understand 10 is around the corner. And if 10 turns out to be something great I will get 10. But until then..... Now what is this I hear about Windows no longer offering updates for Win 7?
Thanks everyone
*Would you buy a Win 7. software package in BOX from someone online or CL?If you want you can build it and use the Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview for free to see if you will like 10. *There may be changes/differences between the evaluation version and the actual release, but if you want to try out 10 its free to download and test out. I have tested both the 32 and 64 bit VERSIONS. If it remains offline it will use a regular password for credentials but if the internet is found during install it will want to use a windows live or hotmail account to have authentication through one of these accounts instead of the regular username/password that most are use to. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-enterprise-technical-preview
As far as Windows 7 goes. I would buy and use 7 if you dont want to be bothered with potential bugs of 10 as well as 7 should be more secure than 10. 10 could have flaws in it that can expose you to problems and its a use at own risk no liability on MS part if say your using it and a hacker is able to steal information through an exploit etc. Also you will eventually have to buy an OS anyways and MS is allowing Win 7 to 10 upgrades for free in the future and so you should probably buy a copy of 7 unless your trying to hold out spending the money now, but instead say buying Windows 10 later skipping 7.
Buying online I generally buy through a known business such as newegg or tiger direct etc. I have heard of people buying what should be authentic versions of windows on ebay and COME to find out they were pirate copies that look like the real deal, but are fakes. These fakes will install and run until WGA detects them and then notifies you that they are not genuine and most likely pirate copies.Thanks. Think Im gonna go with Win. 7
