      I don’t know about you, but my Outlook on survival while being an Explorer would definitely rise. I’d say I would Excell at the task at hand if I’d be pushed to the Edge like that, mark my Word!

    Hm, nobody addressed the fact that Windows 7 is outdated and has known vulnerabilities. The idea of this question was to see whether people would rather be spied on by Microsoft or by unknown strangers.

      Spied on in the woods without an internet connection?

      I pressed X to doubt so hard that my phone screen cracked.

    I’m sorry everyone… but I’ll choose Windows 11… I just can’t leave without an AI assistant in my computer. I mean, yeah, I can always just open ChatGPT on a browser… but that just… isn’t the same. Also that Recall thing is great, I love these automatic screenshots that are totally not sent to Microsoft. This thing is extremely convenient, because pressing the Print Screen key is too hard for me. Lastly, I paid for the whole computer, I want my OS to use all the resources it can. Fuck you, Linux and Windows 7 evangelists! Your OS is clearly not superior.

    (guess i made it clear that i haven’t used windows in a while lol)

    Def 7, it was the first OS used at work that turned invisible… It didn’t need constant defragging, optimizing or registry hacks like 98, 2000 or XP used to. It was a workhorse.

    That said, I haven’t used 11 yet. My company just announced that this year all PCs will stay on 10 for the foreseeable future.

    Everyone in this thread is missing that this is just a copy of the OS. OP said nothing about having a computer, or internet, or electricity.

    I’ll take Windows 7 because it was still issued on DVD which would be useful as a signal mirror for getting rescued.

    Depends, assuming a fresh install, can you even create account on win11 without internet access? Last i checked, it wont let you start with local account and requires MS account.

      Yes, Windows 11 N or using a Rufus modified version.

      Mine doesn’t have a Microsoft account.
