Microsoft has been trying to convince Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11

Windows 10 users about the support cutoff, and now it’s using similar prompts
to try and tempt people to buy a new Windows 11 PC instead.

 
I'm still running Windows 7, and plan to continue to do so, maybe even
for years to come.  I'm done with Windows, I'll give Linux a shot when I
must switch.
 
I still know "XP forever" people...  I'm wondering what they are using
for a browser these days, even Firefox open source projects like
Seamonkey have dropped XP and Vista support.

I use MyPal for most sites; for really stubborn stains I have Supermium.
