But listen, im not trying to force you to use Win 11,using the unpatched, malware vulnerable Win 7 is YOUR choice. I think Brave blocks extensions for you due to the last supported version of Chromium on Win 7 not supporting Manifest V3. I actually like the design, the glass vibes from that era of Skeuomorphism. Complete nostalgia. But if i was in your position i would switch just for security updates and new features. (im a pretty sweaty gamer who likes showing off achievements, so XBOX Game Bar would be usefull at least for me) BTW,why do you prefer Windows 7? Is it because of the design?
Yes you can. I certainly have.
Browsers plural…Excluding Int Explorer as far as I know they only have Edge and there are ways to nuke it from your system and stop it coming back. Again I have done so.
Again it is not difficult to get rid of X box and its associated programs .
Cloud - presume you mean One drive? Again nuked.
Speech? Not sure what you mean but if its an app - nuked…
Sorry poster but your posts reveal almost a complete lack of understanding about what you are vilifying. All of the above and other telemetry stuff can be stopped if you want to put the time and effort into seeking out the answers.
As for castigating Brave … 
Oh and I also have a Win 7 install…

sorry but you are wrong – you can “deactivate” some of them but they are still there – and collecting data and sending them to Microsoft ! And use your energy !

Linux is not just Linux – there is not a single professional Linux version which is simple enough for Millions to use it via one click install … which has a constant developement and a professional support – everyone who talks about Linux recommends another version where you never know if its still existing tomorrow and where your “support” are some fanclubs of scripkiddies … as long as Linux does not develope an enduser-version like Apache for servers there will never be THE Linux instead of Windows and this is sad !

Sorry for the delay, I was still sick when I first wrote this.
I mentioned above why I won’t switch to dangerous Win 10 & Brave is in on this otherwise they wouldn’t be supporting FORCE.
I don’t believe in all the lies & brainwashing about this that & the other thing.
Every time they use the word “security,” you know it’s FEAR PORN.
They have convinced you that they know better then you & you believe them.
Anyway, I won’t go into more, there’s a lot of info already written above from me & a couple of others.
I hope you WAKE UP. Video games brainwash you. I know you don’t want to hear that, but it’s TRUE.
If you played them & were awake, then at least there would be that.
I don’t know if you are talking to me or ajaccio. I’m the OP, but you quoted him.
When I mistakenly listened to a Truther online because I was having problems with my Win 7 laptop, he convinced me to move over to 10 & he would get rid of the spying & bloatware.
Not only was he a terrible instructor, after he told me what to do, I lost the ability to see previous searches (it holds 3) in Win Expl. So every time I had to search for the same word b/c I upload my videos to 3 different platforms, I had to type that in. I was furious & thought it was Win 10, but it wasn’t, it was whatever he got me to disable.
I had a couple of other issues that somehow got resolved by an update SMH Not to mention they decreased the amount of favorites (by a lot) you can save on the left nav of Win Expl.
But that’s not why I know Win 10 is a weapon. I don’t have 100% proof yet on what it does because the evidence is now starting to role out, but by the very FACT that they are stopping us from staying on Win 7 is PROOF RIGHT THERE.
Why would they they care whether you stayed on Win 7? Please tell me you don’t really think these evil corps care about you or any Human Being?
Why would they tell all of these software companies to change their software so it doesn’t work on Win 7?
Why would a company (evil Last Pass) be sooo scared that I was I was on Win 7 & then RUSH to say they weren’t going to help me anymore & close the ticket when in fact I PAY for their support???
If you don’t understand the big picture & what’s going on, you can’t answer any of these questions.
I’m glad you are on Win 7, but you must have by now felt resistance from software companies, AND your MB must be on the older side. I’ll explain in another comment below.
P.S. I just talked to a freelancer who said Win 10 wouldn’t let her use her headset UNTIL she did an update.
Updates are very dangerous.
I remember back before I was awake, I read comments from at least 2 people who said they NEVER allowed their Win (I can’t remember what version, it could have even been XP) to update b/c there were always problems & Win wasn’t even half as dangerous then as it is now.
And she’s also complaining about how it’s killed her laptop so she can’t put anything else on it.
I won’t even get into a discussion about how evil Microsoft decimated Skype 8 back in 2018/9 & ever since then I’ve lost tons of money because of them.
I never hear or see when people who try to add me which means I lose MONEY.
I recently lost a note I sent to myself on my other computer. I know I didn’t delete it.
Again, all done on purpose.
I’ll just update what’s been happening for anyone who wants to learn:
- After the new HD was installed, it continued to crash, so clearly it was a MB issue.
- Supermium was great, it even have features I don’t understand or want, but I was allowed to use Win 7 (this tells me they aren’t connected to the evils) & install my extensions. I still don’t understand if it stops tracking on the browser.
- I then FINALLY got the new hardware put together, & that’s when I started to have tons of problems.
- The MSI MB is terrible. I didn’t choose it, my website coder told me to buy it.
- They literally SHUT DOWN MY MOUSE AND KEYBOARD because I was using Windows 7. I already knew they were an evil corp b/c I reached out to them right after I bought it asking about Win 7 and they did everything to try & scare me into not using it.
- I went through several days first buying a PS2 mouse which didn’t work, then trying to install the USB drivers with Win 7 so it would install & I’d get my mouse & keyboard back. It wouldn’t work with NTlite. Neither stick would install the drivers properly even though I could see it was skipping a step so it knew it was on there.
- We finally found a version of Win 7 with the drivers already installed, but they have something to do with Win 10 which concerned me.
- I’ve had my desktop back for 3 days & the mouse is double clicking & causing all sorts of problems including dragging. Even my keyboard is harder to type on.
- I hope my website coder finds better USB drivers to solve this problem.
- Supermium started causing problems (could it be from the MB?) where there were graphical issues on the tabs area.
- Today for some reason it seems to have self corrected, & I hope it stays that way.
- This MB stops me from having my numlocks on after restart & yes it’s turned on in the BIOS. Someone says it’s Windows, but that never happened with my old MB.
- Because this is new hardware, as I already suspected, it’s way MORE toxic then my other desktop. I could feel the toxicity (even got a slight headache) way more then before & I’m getting more tired quicker.
- As I already figured out a few months ago, they are going to force EVERYONE to get new hardware just to be able to use Win 12, & people will just fall for it. The hardware not only has backdoors, (the old intels did, now I’m sure AMD does too), but the toxicity of it is way worse obviously. I wish I had a new EMF reader.
All done.
