Using an older computer

[gunboat]

I have an older Dell XPS laptop running windows 7. I have not been able to sign in to the Round table forum the last two days. So I called Rivals and they said that Internet Explorer is no longer supported and as Rivals did updates Internet Explorer can longer display it. She switched me to Firefox and it works fine. Just an FYI

Does Microsoft still support windows 7?

Nobody should be using IE for web browsing anymore.

Depends on how old your IE is.

My IE and version of Windows at work are so old they don't support a lot of things anymore.

But switched to Firefox like somebody already said and much better.

It's that you have an old version of IE. When my company migrated to Windows 7, they didn't upgrade IE for a long time. Eventually Rivals stopped their support for that old version (9 or 10) and I was no longer able to log into this forum. I could read the threads, but could not post since I couldn't log in.

My company finally upgraded to IE 11 a month or so ago and I am no able to log in. All our PCs are still running Windows 7.

I use Chrome on Windows 7 right now, but I'm going to upgrade to Windows 10 soon. I suspect that most of the bugs are out
of it by now.

There are a lot of HTML elements and style rules that older versions of IE (8 or 9) don't support and can't render.

Nobody should've been using it for much of the past 10 years. Although version 10+ is okay.

Definitely switch to Firefox or Chrome in these situations.

Make sure you turn off all the settings that automatically send stuff to MSFT. Plenty of articles out there to Google.

I cant believe anyone uses IE any more...its a virus magnet & I dont blame Rivals for ignoring it
and on an old computer it has to be pretty slow(OPERA has a small footprint and runs well on old comps)

but Windows 7????????
wow......even Windows doesnt support it anymore...and they are to stop supporting Windows 8 and 8.1
very soon

I have a fairly new laptop...LOVE Windows 10 and use Chrome and FF....

 

[RUinOhio]

Microsoft will support 7 until 2020 and 8 until 2023...Windows 7 is fine and still comes preinstalled on business computers...but agree IE sucks lol.

I upgraded to Windows 10 and a lot of my programs won't work. It is also more difficult to navigate around the program. I cannot figure out how to change my default printer. Watch out for the new version on Office. It is stripped down, Microsoft wants you to shell out ten bucks a month for the additional programs.

Chrome is the best browser IMO.

large corporations are very conservative and are always a generation or 2 behind. The company I work for updgraded to Windows 7 over the past year for over 20k employees. We have IE9 for corporate applications but are in the process of upgrading to Windows 11.

IE and Windows 7 not a problem here. Also have my old laptop running XP which has my business records and an XP desk top that has lots of ganes on it.
