How to Avoid Being Stuck With Windows

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Make sure you have more than one Windows 7 and Windows XP computer or laptop.

   That way your laptop is less likely to wear out quickly.
2. 2

   Step 2: Buy a good Windows 7 laptop.

   Cheap or second hand or reconditioned laptops are cheaper than new laptops.But often they are not as good as a brand new more expensive laptop.And bear in mind that second hand laptops have been used before by someone else and so may be faulty.
   
   So a good new laptop is likely to last longer or forever if you look after it. , That way if your computer does wear out and you end up being forced to buy a Windows 8 laptop.
   
   You can install Windows 7 on the Windows 8 computer.
   
   After you have wiped off Windows 8 by formatting the hard drive.
   
   Also if you have Windows Vista and Windows XP installation CDs you can install that on the Windows 8 computer or laptop if you prefer. , Now buy as many Windows 7 and Windows XP laptops as you can,10 or maybe 20 computers.
   
   While you can still get them in the shops now.And put them away in a cupboard somewhere.Then when the laptops you are using now wear out,you will have enough Windows 7 laptops to last you for the next 20 years.
   
   And you will never have to go on Windows 8 or be in a situation where you will be stuck with Windows
   8. , Many people are unhappy with Microsoft's decision to keep the Metro theme.
   
   And feel if there must be a Windows 8, it should have a normal desktop and start menu like Windows
   7.
   
   Not the Metro theme.
   
   So if enough Windows users complained about this.
   
   Then maybe Microsoft will back down and make Windows 8 with a normal desktop and start menu.
