May not matter much as we lose the server updates we use now for Win7 in Jan2026 & that will be decision time for most. My backup OS is Zorin Core & it works well for me. It becomes my primary OS when no more security updates are provided for Win7. With an updated Linux distro I have access to updated browsers etc. & my critical sites stop complaining that I might be a security risk due to outdated software. Will keep in touch here at MDL. One never knows; M$ might produce another good OS with privacy built in by, say, Win 25 or so. lol Nah. Who are we kidding. Zorin becomes my daily & everything becomes smooth, why would I come back? You are correct. I wouldn't. Good hunting all & caveat emptor.
I guess the internet has suggested the Linux versions of system restore are slower and more cumbersome than Win 7 system restore? Thanks, I'll have to give that a try
