You just can't keep up with technology these days. Every year, new gadgets and devices are being brought out. If you bought a new phone and/or a new computer/laptop etc, every time a new operating system was introduced, it would cost you an arm and a leg.
I have two computers that I use quite a lot. One is a Sony VA10 desktop, which has everything built into the back of the screen (a bit like an upright laptop) This has Widows XP installed, which can handle older games like Microsoft Flight & Train Simulator, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 and Submarine games like the Silent Hunter series, 3, 4 & 5. Most of these games will run on either Windows 7 or 8, but better with XP. So if I want to play these games, I just fire up the Sony computer.
My other computer is a HP Pavillion G6 Laptop (this one) running with Windows 8.1 which I use for some more modern games and everyday browsing, and general purpose use. I was tempted to upgrade to Windows 10, but then after reading about all the problems with it, decided not to bother. Better to stick with the devil you know, than the devil you don't know, is my advice. My two computers quite happily do everything that I want them to do, without complicating matters with upgrades etc.
It won't be long before Windows 11 pops up on the scene and soon after that we will be on Windows 12. I think the best thing is to stick with what you have and only buy a new computer, when you just can't manage with what you have, because it is too far behind modern operating systems.
The only people who benefit, are the manufacturers, with your hard earned cash. You don't need to buy a new computer, every time something new comes out to replace it.
We are living in an age where everyone has to have the latest gadget and the fastest mobile phone which is even your wrist watch as well. CRAZY!
