New Windows 10 "God Mode"

Is 8 EOLing before 7? Just curious. I'm okay with 10. I had a couple bugs pop up on my laptop but they've been fixed. My desktop hums along pretty good. I still play with Linux just to see what's out there. I'd go OS X in a heartbeat if it weren't for the Apple tax.

Win 8 is OK if you've gone to 8.1 .. Full matrix is here: Windows lifecycle fact sheet - Windows Help

January 9, 2018 is when Win 8** (8.1) exits Mainstream Support.

According to MS, you had 24 months to move to 8.1 after it was generally available (which would have been by last November since it came out in Nov 2013) .. so 8.0 is EOL .. 8.1 is OK, though it sucks and I would move to 10 if I was on any 8 release.

+1 about moving to Win10 from 8.

Well I will stay with WIN7 for now till I can see win10 is really worth the effort....

no one pushes me into using something I dont like...
