[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 771725, member: 48483"] I speak as somebody who is still using a PC built in 2010 as my main photo-editing station. It was pre-loaded with Win7. But I upgraded it to Win 10 during the 1 year free upgrade cycle all those years ago. Win10 was a good OS and a worthy successor to Win7. Only personal fear of change or some odd hardware requirement perhaps held you back? This is timely though. Windows 11 is rolling out. I have already upgraded my laptop PC to that (was a no-brainer, I had just purchased it new a couple of months ago and it was fully ready). I cannot update that 2010 PC, the "security chip" hardware is not present. Otherwise the hardware exceeds Windows 11 requirements. There is a certain validity to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but only to a point. Being reminded of just how old my Win10 PC is now, it will be replaced. I may wait 12-18 months, but it will happen. I don't want to be "that guy" complaining that no hardware drivers are written for Windows XP anymore. [/QUOTE]
