no more windows 7 updates?

LHW99

wonder how many people are still running win95?

Yes, as per Blackbeard, still have 95 (98, 98SE, XP, VISTA) for various programs / boards that can't be updated for legacy control functions. All offline though.

FWIW, Classic Shell (http://classicshell.net/) gives a Windows 7 appearance to Windows 10. It is free, I use it on 2 x laptops and 1 x desktop, works great.

Cannot help with obsolete printer though...

It wasn't the visual appearance that infuriated me in 10, lots of other changes incorporated and stuff I could no longer find in the system.

Which printer do you have OP? There may be another driver you can feed it to get it working. Sometimes you can just plug them in and Windows knows what to do with it out of the box...

I searched back then, all I found were virus riddled pretend sources for drivers. Nothing from HP. It's the HP Deskjet F 4580.

I actually still run a windows 3.1 pc at work, for legacy equipment.

Until pretty recently (about 6 years ago) - we still used DOS to run a certain legacy program - and that was a government department !!
