I still prefer Windows 7 too... 73, Luke VK3HJ
Windows 7 wasn't a safe harbor in the first place. Last October, I was running Win 7 for my PC with Flex installed. An update blew out the CAT driver. As a result, I missed the Stew Perry. To make a long story short: Flex and their 3rd party driver supplier told me they no longer support windows 7. I ended up using an out of date win 7 machine for the rest of the year, then in January I updated all machines to Win10. That luckily went amazingly smoothly. Now that Win 7 no longer gets auto updates, I guess it is Flex proof. Of course it is vulnerable to every other attack. I don't use my shack computer with auto updates turned off to do anything but ham radio. So I am less concerned about having the updates off. MS makes it difficult to easily turn updates on and off. You have to go about 10 levels deep in the menus and the choices are not obvious. I had to save a cheat sheet I found on line to remember the menu picks. I'm glad I paid for Pro Windows.
