It runs quicker since it stays active without stopping when not in use, unlike 7 which restarts cold each time. Choose your preference, but I think 7 on an SSD is already very fast—extra seconds aren’t worth the trouble compared to 10.

At least it's not Windows Vista. That was the worst operating system since Windows ME and 95.

It worked just fine. With a dual-core CPU it was perfect... otherwise it was okay. Mostly it boots from apps, not from the OS. The system feels much more responsive. I really don’t like Windows 7’s appearance—those fancy effects add nothing useful. I prefer a simpler, cleaner look.

@Vishera I believe you're misinterpreting the details, even with the newest information. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help...-kb4537820 If you don't have ESU, the update won't install. The details about all KBs are available publicly, which explains why you can view them but not access them. The main issue is that I can't confirm it's truly public since every Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 system I own has ESU purchased for it. So, based on what I see, updates for Windows 7 aren't being released to the general public.

Regarding the black screen wallpaper problem and the user account shutdown, yes, those security patches were released outside the ESU's.
