I last opened this kind of topic just about 14 years ago.

Back then, someone was still on Windows 95. I think I can safely remove those older options now :mrgreen:

I was on Windows 7 until last spring, when something failed. My pc was on, working fine, I went for a reboot and it died. Couldn't be bothered to find out if it was the motherboard, ram, cpu or gpu as they were all ancient. I just bought new stuff and installed Windows 10.

Winblows 10 on both the laptop & the dual boot desktop which I had to install in order to be able to do the vocational retraining towards an IT technician. Prior to that I'd run Ubuntu which I still have on the dual boot desktop.
Working on a home solution with a hardware firewall behind the router, which is going to be IPfire on its own hardware, a Pi most likely to shut the hole between router and home net.
Other than that, I'm running another windoze 10 desktop which I solely use with hyper-v. The hyper-v VM's are running different systems from kali linux, ipfire, winblows 10, and different winblows as well as linux servers. The test & trial machine, so to say.

Still Windows 7. All support is dead and dying.

Hoping it lasts until early next year. But it's basically hanging by a thread.
