7 > XP

The desktop is from 2001, not really worth installing Win7

Time for you to obtain some money.

I have a more updated desktop, and laptop (it can run Skyrim on High with about 50 mods -last count-), I just use the desktop from 2001 to run Netflix/Hulu/etc and the like from the family TV.
MUCH better than using a PS3/Wii (because the selection is worse for some reason).
megido-rev.M:
Replace it with something less power consuming, perhaps.
Tanis:
It's my parent's problem now.
I'm not gonna drop any more cash than I have to.
That's why I have a saving account with money, and most of my friends don't.

That's the same shit they pulled to get people to switch from XP to Vista back in the day. Remember that? Anyways, they're doing it again. It must be their strategy when they release a shitty OS that nobody really wants to force them to get it anyways.

Do you have a DX12 graphic card? I don't.

Right now? No. In 5 years? Probably.
The short story is... I don't like ever re-installing an OS once it's installed. It takes me weeks to configure all my shit properly, and months beyond that to get everything right. So to willingly do that to myself when I don't have to? Pfffft... forget that!
AceHigh:
Even one extra time during 5 years? Hell, I install more often than that due to HD upgrades.
