Stopped updating Windows 7 on my home network when Microsoft threatened to upgrade me to Windows 10. Never had any incident since, all physical an virtual machines run smoothly.

I would like them both gone from my machine, but apparently I'll have to bite the bullet and go Linux for that to happen.

I have the new edge installed and it's very similar to Chrome (obviously). I even managed to drag a tab from Chrome to Edge.

But to answer your question, no I don't use it.
