My first Windows OS was an XP. I liked using it. It was really cool to use XP at that time. And then came Windows Vista which was rather short lived. I can't remember whether I used it. Then I moved onto Windows 7. The aesthetics blew me away at that time. Since then, I haven't upgraded Windows though Windows 8 and now 10 have came up. As from the next month, Microsoft is closing support for Windows 7, I am thinking about upgrading my OS.

I still use Windows 7 and when Microsoft will stop the support, I will switch to Linux, I do not like Windows 10 at all!

@Sojourn It is a very long time, since it was available for what I remember. I will install it as "virtual machine" under Linux, so I can continue to use the old programs that I like to use.

Even though Windows 7 is your best OS for you are accustomed it bit technology rapidly growing by leaps and bounds. It will of course become obsolete and won't work especially when you're using Internet but offline of course it still works. Using latest programs or software couldn't run by it. Mine is Windows 10 but it will expire soon. I.plan to use open program like Linux which free.

My first if I remember was Windows 3.0 then Windows 95 then I skipped to XP which I really liked and hung on to that one for quite sometime. Then I went to Windows 8 and about a year ago I went to 10. It's not to bad as far as Windows OS's go.
