    It's probably not literally. He, like me, probably considers Windows 7 as superior compared to Windows 10.

    Ah, I see. And in that case, you'd rather keep using Windows 7 for the time being, which is unadvisable if it is not receiving security updates anymore (unless you disconnect from the internet, but, well... I bet few people would want to do that, unless they use their pc for a few specific tasks only).

    Exactly! I'd still be on Windows 7 if it wasn't for those stupid security updates ending.

    Tom is correct. I have a lot of fond memories and good experience(s) with Windows 7. Not... that many with Windows 10... :\

    Heh, that seems entirely different from what Tom and I said! In that case, you should be glad of a switch; as you will _still_ have a lot of fond memories and good experiences with Windows 7, and you'll _also_ gain fond memories and good experiences with Windows 10.

    I think (!) that you (607) misunderstood the meaning of his message: I think that he meant that Windows 7 works well and Windows 10 doesn't - at least that is my opinion regarding this. :P

    Tom is correct. Though to be honest, I'm pretty much "forced" to use Windows 10, as Windows 7 has horrible HiDPI support. It comes from a time before 4k screens exist, so I'm basically forced to use Windows 10... :\ If it wasn't for that, and Windows 7 dying, I'd use it.

    To be honest scaling is also shit in Windows 10, I can say from my own experience. :P I'm really happy my laptop's screen is 1080p instead of 2160p, so I don't need to use scaling. :D

    Huh, interesting. My experience with Windows 10 is nearly always perfect. I wonder if your issue was just a hardware issue? (Or version of Windows 10? haha, we can make those jokes now lol)

    I'm scaling our 1080p TV to like 200 or 400%, because otherwise I can't read a single thing when sitting on the couch. The problem is that it makes some things really blurry. It's definitely usable, but does not look professional at all.

    The software needs to support it. I assume all web browsers do, but many other programs don't.

    Even some stock Windows things don't support it. :D
