I am not upgrading to Windows 10, 11 12 etc

[76561198346836306]

It was such a nice time to meet you guys. I appreciate your help and discussions here.

245 days left

upd. Steam images stopped loading last week, it's just a blanket icon, just like one from HTML

Microsoft will continue to support Windows 10 until 2025 ... that's 1.5-2 more years at best, so what's the point ?

Indeed, I don't wanna upgrade every single year, as well as buying a new setup, there are also issues with the new drivers and activation keys in some programs

As Valve/Steam has "had" supported a 14-years old OS and even years after official drop until 2024, feel free to use Windows 10 until Steam drops support for it in year 2030~

So Windows "7" users do have "7" months left to upgrade for free to even use Windows 10 for Steam for next "7" years .. Just as some has done with W7/8.x until next year.

If you might own and run a really older PC with less RAM but which is Win10 compatible, simply buy 2nd-hand and compatible RAM sticks for less than $25. Or buy a cheap Windows 7 machine from Amazon or eBay for less than $150 and upgrade to W10. There have been spotted Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines for $50 already by the Steam Community.

And besides that, you can even allocate a "fixed" pagefile of either "4096 MB" or "8192 MB" on Windows Performance settings to even add more v/RAM to your machine for a performance boost. But dont exceed these values.

N3tRunn3r, you are the Peace Ambassador for Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

At least you try to help users with actual solutions instead of ridicule.

In 240+ days I will upgrade to save my investment, but I will be dragged kicking and screaming every day until then. Wrong is wrong, if you people want to acknowledge it or not.

Sorry, I personally don't believe in grimy business practices. I am too poor to throw away money. And all I see here is rich folks who don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about people who don't have the opportunities they do.

What do you need to upgrade for Win10?
It'll run on whatever system you have. The only time an OS demanded a bit too much was Vista way back in the days when it first came out and only when using Aero. We're long past that time.

Also a lot of people took the free upgrade to 10 when it was given out. You probably went "NO! I'm staying on Win7/8 hmph!" and now it comes back to bite you.


Valve is pushing through an security update which is the reason it'll break for Win7. For us other users you are currently holding back that security update that might save a few people from losing their account.

Computers can help you to see the truth.

You can use them with windows, or with linux.

In 240+ days I will upgrade to save my investment, but I will be dragged kicking and screaming every day until then. Wrong is wrong, if you people want to acknowledge it or not.

You will understand what we tried to tell you so far then. Why wait so long?


And about people getting rich, it is good when steam has money (they better keep enough of that to keep the games available for us), and the companies that make computer parts. That ensures it stays available and progresses.
It is easy to forget how things were before computers. Individually what you get is a lot for your money.
Phone calls (just one free phone call would save you the 10 cent btw)....... finding informations....... devices to play movies, music....... games...... find items, and whatnot

You definitely dont need to follow every progress. Others will buy the grafic cards and cpu and games on release, so one day you can buy your thing. This would not be possible if everyone would not want any new.
You get new things because others bought the things in between.

Just bing bang boom. Upgrade done. No issues or conflicts with old hardware anywhere. Can YOU guarantee that? Are you going to stake YOUR money on it? If people attempt to upgrade and end up with an expensive planter, are YOU going to make up the difference in their bank accounts?

I just did it each time.
You never did.

So who has first hand understanding?

Is that a guarantee that you are willing to back up with YOUR money? I'm sure there are plenty of Windows Legacy users that would LOVE to take you up on that offer.

If you can't GUARANTEE it, don't DEMAND it.

Valve wants your money like 5$ to have full access, and you should also keep buying stuff during a year to be able to trade in the market or you'll be locked cuz you don't spend 'nuff money, now they want you to pay even more for upgrading your OS, hardware. Maybe You will pay for me huh, I want my 5 dollars back and all fees

Hardware is the one thing that handles upgrades the easiest. I have not heard of hardware stop working on a newer OS. I have heard hardware not working on older OS on the other hand.

Can you provide examples of hardware stop working on newer hardware?

Because it looks like you're desperately trying to find reasons not to upgrade but each and every reason is shot down.

That $5 fee stopped majority of the bots that people complained about daily before this 5$ limit was put in place. There where topics about it every single day. Not joking either, every single damn day there was a topic about bot spammers sending invites.

Also you're not exactly paying Valve, you have to buy something on the store and you get something out of it.

Ask her. No, I have no experience upgrading. She does. Not all went 100% perfectly.

Why on earth did you upgrade to windows 8? While 10 was free?
I still wonder about that.

You dont have to spend for steam. You buy games and you use steam.

There is so much wrong every corner i look at your texts from.

[vgifford]

You are ALL implying that there will be NO ISSUES for anyone, but NONE of you can guarantee that. So, why are you commenting? People have their own reasons, their own fears. Are you helping people by ridiculing them? How about HELPING them.
