I hope there will be support for windows 7 and AOE 4. I still love this OS and play many vintage games on this platform.

windows 7 will no longer be supported after january 7. so they probably wont have it on there
I can dream. I still believe win 7 was best OS ever by Microsoft.
I am using Windows 10 at home and Windows 7 at work and they feel pretty similar. Windows 7 support will end in 2020 january and this is game published by Microsoft, so it is extremely likely, that AOE 4 wonât support Windows 7

I actually think Win 7 and Win 10 are one of the best WinOS ever made. My â â â â â â computer came up with WIn 8, and was glad that MS offered free Win 10 pro-to-pro and home-to-home upgrade for free. I didât have any issues moving into new OS. Everything is pretty natural. With updates, it is getting better (unless youâre an WIn 10 insider, like I wasâŠgrim story)
So anyways, I think it will be Win 10. Even Steam now has more Win 10 computers than win 7. You should have moved to win 10 brother. Now you gotta buy it

I own it, I just use this pc/win7 with vintage games.
If you love 7 and are forced to upgrade to 10, get LTSC.

Our company is switching over to Windows 10, and boy does it feel like beta software.
I just put the laptop after the Win7 -> Win10 switch back into the docking station and it didnât recognize all my monitors. I needed to change one of the cables, after which it did.
Then, font was blurry on all monitors, but only for built-in windows apps, not third party ones! There was a setting to correct the font, but it explicitly said that it will only be able to try to do so for the primary monitor, not the others. A colleague of mine knew a trick, some random
display settings to localize the blurryness to only 1 monitor of the 3.
Then, sometimes, a couple of programs randomly got stuck immediately after opening. Fix: restart the PC.
Some windows flicker between the screens when dragging them from one screen to another, and the mouse position gets displaced on the window title bar after the drag is over.
Of course, the built in touchpad driver doesnât support scrolling.
The standard windows waiting prompt, the dots rotating in a circle leave weird pixel artifacts on the screen.
You can not change the target of File Explorer. You can select a grand total of 2 places, from the File Explorer settings.
You can not dragân drop links to the start menu. You have to create a link, then right click -> pin to start, then delete the link again.
Only some installed programs appear in âControl Panelâ -> âPrograms and Featuresâ. Now, you have 2 places to uninstall programs, depending on the API! Control Panel for Win32 and a new one for UWP.
The user will surely know what API their installed program uses! Furthermore, if there are any links or autostart references to a UWP app left that you have to remove manually, they will reinstall on each restart automatically!
I will switch to BSD sooner than use Windows 10 at home.
At least my company patches it to not send telemetry and do all that obnoxious stuff, as even they, as a business customer employing ca. half a million people do not find that OK.
This was all in the first day.

Iâd use 7 if it werenât for it not supporting 370 chipsets and Coffee Lake processors, and AoE 2 DE being Win 10 exclusive ÂŻ_(ă)_/ÂŻ
But what can I say, LTSC has never given me any problems with usability, performance or updates unlike Pro or Home. It feels just like Windows 7 too.
