Microsoft Halts OEM sales of Windows 7 and Windows 8 licenses
On schedule and according to plan Microsoft has now stopped selling Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8 licenses for OEMs. From this point onwards new laptops will only be sold with Windows 10 pre-installed. Other versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8, such as Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate were already no longer available for sale.
The end of sales for PCs with Windows pre-installed is especially targeted at OEMs. Microsoft already ended the retail sales of Windows 7 Home and Ultimate in 2014. The company allowed business users to still purchase a Professional license. Microsoft will continue to provide Windows 7 with security updates till at least 2020.

back up all drivers and software with some win 7 iso and your safe from microsofts win 10 but in the end it wouldnt suprise me if they hijack the internet so it will only connect on win 10 devices thats the only real way they can force win 10 on everyone because the hardware you can get around by buying up the ivy bridge and haswell parts

Better embrace the future...soon using win7/8 will become as though trying to run Win 98 lol. Lack of support of Win7/8 is inevitable now meaning potential higher vulnerability for those still running it.
You've already sold most of your data subscribing to all these fora/online stores/phone contracts/tv subscriptions/google/yahoo/facebook/ stop deceiving yourself that only MS Windows do it lol

haha no i tell u why i dont like win 10
1) takes a long time to do a fresh install and the loading circle screens which u cant tab out of ur stuck on them screens with creepy messages like were happy you here
2) too many process running which u cant stop without make it unbootable
3) cortana the metro menu and the options menu where you uncheck all the apps
4) the constant updates and messages and the feeling of the computer is controlling you not you in charge of the computer
5) onedrive microsoft accounts and the windows store microoft edge
the only good point ive seen on win 10 is some games graphics look good on it like gta 5 but thats it but i dont really like anything about windows 10 because i like to use my own software and dont like nag screens and stores on my pc and i like to use mods in games
