Yes, but they are hard to find if you just google them. 26 minutes ago, RexR said: Win.-7-64 desktop and OUTLOOK OFFICE 365 Since win 7 is out of support, I suggest moving/upgrading to Windows 10 27 minutes ago, RexR said: I have premium malware but RANSOMWARE does not load We can assist with that part here. for us to do that please do the following.

So I will just say with 7. There is a good opportunity for someone to make a good living keeping 7 going. BTW RASOMWARE is running now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a professional repair tech, I will not support any out of support software including Windows. I have zero of my over 500 clients on anything except Windows 10. And usually all of the issues I deal with are usually user error or hardware issues. Sometimes end users can be thier own worst enemy.😞 9 minutes ago, RexR said: BTW RASOMWARE is running now. I am glad it is working now. Best wishes and stay safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike older Windows versions it gets a major update every 6 months, and is now quite different from when it first came out. The Windows 10 name stays the same but things change every six months, sometimes a lot. (Comparing Windows 10 now to how it was when it first came out is a bit like comparing Win 7 to XP or Vista). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Naggar Posted January 31, 2021 ID:1435766 Share Posted January 31, 2021 This is to concur with the statements above by Nukecad. Windows 10 security is a lot stronger than Windows 7. The Windows firewall ( for one) is stronger. For another, the inclusion of a built-in & strong antivirus, Microsoft Defender Antivirus. If you were to keep on WIN 7 you'd have to work progressively harder to keep it safe since Microsoft stopped having any new security updates for Windows 7. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexR Posted January 31, 2021 Author ID:1435818 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I doubt it as I hear many going back to 7 as 10 is a hackers dream. My wife has 10 on her laptop and it always has a virus or something causing it to act screwy and crash. Consumer group: Microsoft should compensate unhappy Windows 10 upgraders Survey suggested that 12 percent of Windows 10 upgraders switched back to 7 or 8.1.

Maurice Naggar Posted January 31, 2021 ID:1435823 Share Posted January 31, 2021 and those folks are satisfied at this time since Windows 7 is no longer supported at Microsoft. right ?? It has been OUT of support since January 2020. do they feel wholly secure ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenW Posted January 31, 2021 ID:1435834 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Most of the problems with 10 is caused by users. My 4 run fine without problems. You have to work with 10 and not against it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurice Naggar Posted January 31, 2021 ID:1435837 Share Posted January 31, 2021 to RexR. Quote My wife has 10 on her laptop and it always has a virus or something causing it to act screwy and crash. I would remark that that is just not normal at all. and if your spouse will post in the Windows-malware removal help section we can help her to get out of that cycle. Have your spuse checkout & do as listed I'm infected - What do I do now? - Windows Malware Removal Help & Support - Malwarebytes Forums Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukecad Posted January 31, 2021 ID:1435846 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) @RexR By using that big bold quote you are making my point for me. It from a 2016 article, so is 4 years old. (4 years out of date)https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/09/consumer-group-microsoft-should-compensate-unhappy-windows-10-upgraders/ You are relying on out of date information. Windows 10 is much different now from what it was in 2016. Take a look for yourself, don't rely on what others thought 4 or 5 years ago. PS. What version of Win 10 is your wifes laptop, is it up to date at version 20H2, or is it an older version? As Maurice Naggar suggests why not get the experts here to check it over for free.
