Never had a problem at all with XP. Aside from the security breachs at the end it was the most stable running of the lot.Fortunately, the IT guys at school always checked out Bill's latest offerings and warned us away from the worst of the duds. 98, XP, and Seven, and Professional only, and I've been mostly satisfied. Tried Ten, didn't like it, will stay with Seven as long as I can.
Cheers,
Wes

I never tried it, but my friends who did, sounded just like you.Vista just sucked down all my RAM like a cheap memory whore
I ran Win3.1.11 (eventually pumping it up from DOS6.22 to DOS7.0) and jumped over Win95 to Win98SE and ran that until XP(sp2) and then converted to sp3 - Longhorn, Vista, 7 and 10 are all garbage.Fortunately, the IT guys at school always checked out Bill's latest offerings and warned us away from the worst of the duds. 98, XP, and Seven, and Professional only, and I've been mostly satisfied.

My very first "ground up" build used that, back before I had the benefit of the school's IT department to "delouse" the software minefield.I ran Win3.1.11 (eventually pumping it up from DOS6.22 to DOS7.0)

I've been running Seven Professional 64 bit for years now, with no complaints. Although I don't actually run the computer so much any more since I got into smartphones. Just Flight Sim and architectural stuff.Longhorn, Vista, 7 and 10 are all garbage.
I use it often too.I'm still using Vista and it works just fine
The key is... don't visit sketchy URLs.
Yep - I upgraded several computers from ten to 7 as well.Fortunately, the IT guys at school always checked out Bill's latest offerings and warned us away from the worst of the duds. 98, XP, and Seven, and Professional only, and I've been mostly satisfied.

Apart from the fact that the updates are an absolute nightmare. Wasted a whole evening fixing update issues last week on Windows10. I just can't understand that after 25 years of Windows, Microsoft is still working with that crappy updating system. I'm even more surprised that the users still put up with that.Every other computer in the house is running Windows 10 with no complaints. As an OS, it outperforms Win7 IMO.
4 P.C's and two tablets running Win10 (mostly PRO, but also home version), and have had to roll-back one update on one machine. So I've not had your experience. When we upgraded, the win7 machines I did clean install, which might explain things.Apart from the fact that the updates are an absolute nightmare.
