Free (Legal) windows 10 update

If you are still on 7 and want to upgrade you can do it here legally.

Microsoft have dropped support for 7... so its a good time.

Only free if you have a key, it's always been legal to do it this way, I've done loads.

It's only free as un "upgrade" ie if you have a licence key. Not an actual "free download".

 

I only thought the other day they seemed to drop support for Windows 7 quickly.

Which is a terrible shame. Since 7 is so much better than 10. 

 

10 gave you lots of features Microsoft wanted you to have, whilst removing ones that worked really well.

 

Lack of Movie Maker is a glaring standout for me, as is Windows Media Player. Windows Music just sucks and the first thing I did was install WMP... though it doesn't seem to work so well as it did on other platforms.

7 is loads better than 10. I got so annoyed with Windows 10 I ended up ditching it and installing Linux. Never looked back, although admittedly Linux won't be suitable for everyone. Does everything I need though.

Nothing wrong with 10, it's on millions around the world and I've installed loads of them, problems are usually when on an older machine and not all drivers work well.

Not even remotely. 10 slaps 7 back to the Stone age performance wise. And the reality is that's all that should matter. 

 

Plenty of free movie maker apps available, and media players, to make the lack of a Windows one moot.

Well if you want Microsoft to control your PC, rather than yourself...
