[SFDXA] Need Win 7 program for FMC

[Keith Garner]

I don't understand the Windows 10 fear. It's faster and an improvement over 7.

Actually Windows 10 is more robust, secure and feature rich than Windows 7.

But you need a better computer and a legitimate OS. You don't want to spend your time looking at registration notices for a pirated operating system.

For example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Z200-WorkStation-Desktop-i5-650-3-20GHz-8GB-RAM-1TB-HDD-Windows-10-Pro-/202071548768?hash=item2f0c672360:g:CpEAAOSwAc1ZrGjL

Or something new:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856102183&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Barebone+Systems+-+Mini+%2F+Booksize-_-N82E16856102183&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsNfOBRCWARIsAGITapbvxs6B4aVUPNQ5MmR2X0XIGOmeg5-n7DlBvks8WYXMJjktohWMNvMaAk5fEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

You're not going to be happy running Win 7 Pro on that configuration.
