7 because I don't want to be stuck in the woods with someone elses computer. Also 7 has the good version of paint.

Hm, nobody addressed the fact that Windows 7 is outdated and has known vulnerabilities.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 dunno, if I'd built a shelter, 1 or 2 windows would be enough I think.
What the hell do I need Windows for if I'm stuck in the woods??
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!
This made me chuckle!
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.
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.
Apparently you can, during setup there is a window of 11 milliseconds during which you need to press a combination of 11 keys so you're allowed to create a local account. The procedure only costs 11€ per try too
11 easily. Not everyone hates. It personally I think it's worth it for AutoHDR alone. And the simplified start menu makes a lot of sense once you put the start button back where it goes and block ads in the menu.
Windows, the only OS you must hit the start button in order to halt it
Windows 7 got Solitaire so probably that
Windows 11. Because Windows 7 ate Windows 9.
11, so that when I outrun the bear, it'll be 11 who dies, while 7 is waiting for me at home
You'd be screwed with 11, please connect me to the internet to login to your account. So I'll take 7.
I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with a computer in the woods but I guess Windows 7 if I have to pick between those.
Neither. I go into the woods to unplug.
I go there to get bitten by mosquitos.
I would prefer a REAL girlfriend to a square headed girlfriend. Stuck. In the woods.
Since the woods has not internet, 11. No ads, no tracking. Do need the old context menus and a few things before I head out though.
Grew up on windows 7. It was all I needed and was perfect. I don't need anything else. I didn't even want 10 but 10 is...ok I guess. I def don't want 11 though.
Duh, I'd rather be stuck with Vista.
But since it's not even an option, I would choose Windows 7 by default. Although 8.1 wasn't really THAT bad, I just think it will be treated exactly the same as 7 in terms of software support, similarly to how programs dropped support for Vista at the same time they did for XP.
I am already in the woods on Windows 7
Linux
Win 7, because I can use it as bargain to trade with locals who help me to get out of the forest and back to civilisation. No one would be interested in Win 11 so that choice is obvious.
