Is windows xp now outdated ?

[67HR]

I'm running Windows 7 and I keep getting offered Windows 10. I keep postponing it. I have tried to turn off Windows updates but I can't seem to do that now.
Do I forfeit and take Windows 10 or can I reject the inevitable?

Follow the info on here. I've done it on all my work & home PC's

NB:
Just set up a new workstation today. Win7 Pro 64bit

Probably a bread thread. But you can buy legit Windows keys on reddit for real cheap. I bought a Windows 7 Pro key for $25 then upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for free. Google it. Also Windows XP is fukin ancient and trash

Maybe its because I'm a bit ancient but we have Windows 10 on 3 of our computers and I think its fukin trash. So unintuitive and cumbersome to use.
XP (on my laptop) might be old but its simple to use and IMHO more reliable and just as fast if not faster.
I love new things don't get me wrong but I abhor new for the sake of new and even more when its a step backwards.

I've put Linux Mint 17.3 on my old XP (Vista compatible) Lenovo c200 3000 laptop with a 60Gb H/drive, it seems to go well & takes up HEAPS less room only about 5 or 6Gb. Pity to throw away a perfectly good lappy just because Xp's not supported anymore, just have to get used to the way it does things.

Just updated to Linux Mint "Sarah" 18, it is so much better than previous issues & is much more like XP

Yup, as they say, that would be "making lemonade out of lemons." Simply, making the most out of what you have.
