How do you get it to not crash every 3-4 months?

Another update came along, my PC is now no longer freezing for seconds at a time every few minutes. It is now working properly again.

mind you, windows 7 users aren't safe either. make sure you delete the most recent update or two. all they do is push the windows 10 ad on you, and add on Microsoft's telemetry and data collection systems from 10.

Google around, but theres some registry stuff you have to delete to Windows 10 proof your Windows 7.

Also, turn off automatic update. you dont need that shit. 7's already had all the updates it'll ever get years ago.

My Win7 only has the SP1 upgrade and I don't plan on upgrading anymore. hahaha.

I haven't seen these Windows 10 update messages in a long while now. They must have stopped as the upgrade-for-free date has passed.

if you have the latest updates though, you still have Microsoft's data collection stuff in your system

I did this myself some time ago

Win7 also has its own share of issues:
If you try to install it plus the SP1, clean, on a new computer, and then try to go to Windows Update, be prepared to leave the computer on overnight for several nights.  It downloads the newest security updates at a snail's pace, and the download meter stays at 0% even though it's somewhat working.

I'm running WinXP/Win7 in my main desktop, Win7 in my server, WinXP on the Radio Station computer, WinXP on the workstation laptop, and Win10 on the latest laptop.  I will look out for these Win10 issues on my latest purchase.

I'm personally avoiding Win8 and 10 till a better operating system comes out. Like I did when I was still using WinXP and the whole Vista debacle came out 

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Win10 actually seems pretty alright, so far, for me.
But, I do have to disable some background internet crap.

dont forget that it got rid of the search bar to force you to use Cortana. (which collects your search data and sends it to MS)
