    Wasn't there a Linux distro that was trying to look and feel almost exactly like Windows XP? I'm sure it's not perfect but it'd be worth a shot if you were so used to XP. EDIT: Found it - https://zorin.com/os/.

    Hey, Congratulations on your upgrade to Windows 7! Not 48 hours ago, I spoke highly of the benefits of Windows 7[1], as a user myself. It is absolutely possible to use Windows 7 <i>reasonably</i> securely, if you take the appropriate precautions(again, see my comment) > I can use the latest versions of Google Chrome Firefox? Yes. Chrome? No. Chromium 109 is the last version to support Windows 7. Here's the last working ungoogled variant [2]. Switch to LibreWolf[3] Firefox based browser with user.js modifications[3] pre-installed. Or if you don't trust librewolf, use Firefox and manually add the same user.js[4] It's better for security than Chrome could ever hope to be. Your web browser's javascript continue to be the predominant way for malware to make its entry. So just make sure to take the appropriate security precautions, as mentioned in my comment [1]. > When Firefox stopped receiving upgrades I switched to Mypal browser, an open source browser specially made for Windows XP. It is cruder than Google Chrome but does the job most of the time. Have you tried K-Meleon on Windows XP[5]? It's Old Firefox(pre-Australis) based, and still gets updates. Windows 7 is the last legit good Microsoft Operating System. It truly is a wonder and a delight to use and modify. Anyway, all the very best on your Windows 7 journey. May it serve you well. Cheers!
