Hello. I am wanting to ask for you to see about reviving support for Windows 7 and Windows XP in a retro line up? As I have Windows 7 Desktop, Windows 10 laptop, and Windows 11 desktop all by HP and I am planning to get my windows 7 desktop up and running again just to avoid AI. Windows 10 gave me a absolute headache with constant repairs, and windows 11 just runs out of space easily. I rather use my windows 7 mainly for privacy. If I see an opportunity to trade both windows 10 and 11 for a XP, I would as I am not fond of all of these features and too complex for me. Which is why I like to make a request about reviving both Windows 7 and Windows XP as a retro lineup as Microsoft can sell them for cheaper than Windows 10 and 11. I did pull a recovery on my 11 after it froze in a black screen. I like the performance of windows 7 and XP and I missed them as it's simple. So, I really do ask about reviving them as I am not fond of windows 11 anymore after what I went through on my Windows 10. I rather see the windows 7 and XP again as I only want privacy that I can only get from those OS and I don't need all those bells & whistles that windows 11 or newer has, I just want to use the old windows 7 and XP again regardless if it's 2025 as I did experienced all four, I just wish I also have a XP desktop tower as the one thing the XP & 7 has the advantage on is not only the retro aspect, it's something that people who don't like the 11/newer or don't feel safe anymore can go back to XP & 7 which is too weak to handle AI, the another thing is the self maintenance aspect is best with 7 and better with XP, legacy games works better with Windows 7 & XP than 11 as the Sherlock Holmes games I play don't work well on 10. I am not attached to windows 10 or 11 like I am with windows 7 and XP as I will drop 10/11 for a XP and Hardware repairs on my Windows 7(mainly USB sockets) as I don't care for AI anymore and I saw a AI artist quit because of the economic cost. As when I hear that windows 7 and XP is being supported again, I will unplug this windows 11 desktop and plug in my Windows 7 desktop instead. Just like I will switch from a smartphone to a radio. I have been seeing a movement against AI, and It is understandable as if we ditch AI we can create more jobs. Windows 7 and XP is basically an escape route from AI, which I always been saying that to escape AI is to downgrade. You can make windows 7 & XP cheaper than Windows 10 & 11 as windows 7 & XP don't have the features that 10 & 11 have yet can have the same storage as 10 & 11. I'll would ditch windows 11/ or newer for Windows 7 & XP as It's too much on me and I would feel safer on Window 7. So the main problem is not having an option to downgrade from Windows 11 to Windows 7 & XP with security support as I much I want to keep using the Windows 11, I just want to go back to Windows 7 & XP as I had a much better time there than Windows 11. No need for VPN on those systems since they are too weak to handle AI. I am just glad I didn't throw out my Windows 7 Desktop. You would be surprised on how many would downgrade to Windows 7 & XP as my own mother was considering switching to Linux, but, I just suggested that out of date OS like Windows 7 & XP is better for privacy. If VPN was a thing, that should have been good for Windows 7 & XP I also quit using AI as bad actors are using it for evil. I rather use floppy disk, DVD/CD, or a Cassette tape over digital cloud as I feel more safer with external storage devices instead.
Can you see about reviving older Windows OS?
