Re: Going back to Windows 7, a good or a bad idea?
There are ways to get rid of the preinstalled apps. Most, but not all, of the spying can also be turned off.
Now, I would completely understand if you don't want your PC spying on you, so I think that's a legitimate reason not to upgrade, if that's how you feel. But keep in mind that Windows 7 and 8.1 are now also collecting telemmetry data, so you're not completely safe there anymore either.
As for the apps, though, there's a simple way to get rid of them, at no performance detriment to your computer. Install C Cleaner, if you haven't already. then, in the list of installed programs, you'll see not only the regular programs that are installed, but also every bundled app. Click uninstall, and it's treated as any other program removal process. All of my apps are gone, and I'm much happier for it. I, like you, don't want a PC/tablet hybrid. I have an Iphone; that's my touch screen device. I have a computer, and that& #039;s, well, for everything else that my phone can't do, or at least not do as well.
As for Edge, while there is a way to remove it, I personally would not recommend that. I think it could cause some system instability if you try. Just switch your default browser to whichever one you prefer, and you should be fine.
In short, I see nothing wrong with staying with Windows 7 for awhile longer. Support for it won't end until 2020. That's 4 years away, so I don't agree with people who say upgrade now or else. You won't have to worry about security vulnerabilities for quite awhile yet.
On the other hand, it probably would be good if people at least understood how Windows 10 works, and how it differs from 7, because support for it will end eventually. Some folks will, of course, hold onto 7 as voraciously as they held onto, and in extreme cases, still do hold onto, XP. That's inevitable. But whenever I can, I encourage people to not let that be them, because it's really not a good habit to get into. Stubbornly avoiding change usually only hurts the person doing the avoiding in the end.
