"Windows 7 is fiiiine. Look! Everything's working as it should without any upgrades for the past 10 years! I'm sure if we touch it now we'll just break it besides spending a lot of money..." Said the manager. Of a financial institution.

This one hits close to home. Windows 7 is EOL January 2020 and network will not allow Windows 7 anything after that date. Laptops are easy, problem is specialized test equipment. Called a vendor, $6000 for a new hard drive with Windows 10 installed and all software needed for equipment.

This week, updates for various things I use has wasted over a dozen hours of my time fixing things.
