Windows 7ā€™s support ends in just a bit more than two weeks. What to do if you donā€™t want to compromise your security, but donā€™t want to upgrade to Windows 10 or migrate to Linux?

Hereā€™s my advice: try out Windows 8.1!

Donā€™t like the start menu? Thatā€™s understandable. But there are tons of way to bring the classic W7 start menu back, including using the FOSS OpenShell: github.com/Open-Shell/Open-She

Itā€™s actually lighter in resources than Windows 7, and supported until January 10, 2023!

@Siphonay at my lab we also run old computers on win8.1, because of the low ressource demand and high compatibility in old drivers.
