My new gaming rig will have Win 7 64bit. That's as far as i'm willing to go because i've had no major issues with it . Why can't MS leave well enough alone !

Because they don't build it for us, they build it for them. Shareholders insist on 'growth' and new products. Hypothetically Win10 IS the last version, but with never-ending(?) updates - have to justify all the twinkie-munchers living in the basement at Redmond - so it's a safe bet that, at some time, Win7 hardware will cease to work or install as the updates get more profound.

We, as users of 'legacy' software (and hardware), are a small crumb of the pie. It's the new adopters that fuel their business in the long run. No, I'm not happy with the philosophy either, but that's the world we live in.
Remember, in a free enterprise system, nothing is free.
 
About the time windows 10 came out, I got a message every day from MS telling me that I could switch over from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free. This went on for over a half a year, I was happy with W7, FSX works fine. I think the time will come though when enough new programs will only work on Windows 10. Some of the new car racing games require Windows 10.
I'll stick with what works for me.
