Is anybody else getting dropped from Internet Explorer right now?

 

I'm old enough to not be very computer savy. When I could no longer post pics it was suggested that I switch to Fire Fox so I did.

I was also told that IE was no longer supported and going away. ????

 

It is being replaced with Microsoft Edge. There will still be support for IE, but for how long remains to be seen.

 

I am running Windows 10 and always opt for IE over Edge. Tried Edge but I am more familiar with IE so I won't change until it stops working. The only reason I am running Windows 10 is because my old PC wouldn't run the updated IE...what a vicious circle this has become. So far IE is still working for me.

 

I have hesitated to upgrade to Windows 10. I'm currently on 8.1.

How do you like it?

 

Windows 10 is like something Hitler invented - It makes your life so much better by doing what it thinks you need, it runs programs that are designed for a teenager that you cannot close, it updates and shutdowns whenever it wants to and then there is Edge add Mao to the good things that IE does and you can stare at a blank screen for hours, but other than that it sucks

 

Ok, so how do you really feel about it?

 

Im also still running IE. When importing pics. I use "go advanced", and then the "manage attachments" option. I really dislike having new software (From Microsoft) pushed on us without any instructions on how to use it. We just picked up my wife's tablet from repair, so I spent all night trying to reprogram it just like it was b4 it died. I find it ironic that they spend millions on advertising to get us to buy the products, but cant spend anything on how to operate it when we get it home. Sorry it's fresh and I just had to vent. You may now resume this glorious day.

 

I like it just fine. It runs all my MS Office suite programs and even the old Hoyle solitaire game I had loaded on my old machine. If you are currently on 8.1 then you shouldn't even notice a change to 10...at least that's what I have heard from others. 10 gives you a lot of options for how it runs and what it runs on, I can see how some folks could have issues. My old machine was running MS Vista and I could not update IE to the latest version (and I was getting messages from websites that they could not run on my version of IE) so I was kinda screwed. I bought Windows 7 which came with a free upgrade to 10 so I thought what the hell I'll take the upgrade. So far so good.

 

Win10 is supposed to be the last Windows that Microsoft will issue. The plan is in a year or less they'll begin making it subscription based.
