    Not sure which involves jumping through the most hoops - forcing a reluctant machine to upgrade or preventing a willing machine from doing so...

    ..and your point?? Doesn't mean it becomes unuseable in 2018......

    correct , just as win xp is still usable ,


    I actually stated that there was 7-8 yrs of cover available , however in post 32 , bod1467 , went out of his way to argue this ,


    why not challenge his statement , as in actual fact I agreed with you by saying 7-8 yrs?

    you quoted 2 and a bit years to go on W8 AFTER you made the 7-8 yrs comment, bod posted the link to the ms lifecycle page, he didn't argue any point either way. I called the 2 and a bit to go tosh (and even quoted it in my post).... make yer mind up :p
