Microsoft Rewards

If using the beta or the other versions of Edge am I still getting Microsoft rewards for using it?

    QueenNini Hi, yes.

    I've been using the new Edge for months and I'm an addict on Microsoft Rewards.

    You get your points using Chromium Edge.

Fair enough.  The idea can apply to both 7 & 8, but, as I said, it, most certainly, applies to 7; not (nearly) as critical or imperative with 8.  But, people running 7 should not procrastinate longer about moving to Windows 10.

Cheers,
Drew

True, the deadline is coming

Starting this week, Microsoft will start notifying users of non-domain-joined Windows 7 Pro devices about the looming end-of-support date for the operating system.

 

Spoiler
On January 14, 2020 -- Microsoft's support for Windows 7 will cease. That means no more updates or fixes, including security fixes after that date, which is the first Patch Tuesday of 2020, unless a customer pays. Microsoft officials have announced two ways that Windows 7 users can continue to get security updates beyond the January 14, 2020 date. But both of these ways -- purchasing paid Extended Support Updates and buying Windows Virtual Desktop (which includes Extended Support Updates for no additional fee) are designed for business customers, not consumers.

    I'm glad I rolled back to 8. I keep reading of bad 10 rollouts. Saw one even a day or two ago.  Those would be killing my business right now.  Long live windows 8, best since stone age. HotCakeX

      Hey, using 8.1 is cool.  As for some of what one can read... sometimes one should read less.  10 is fantastic!

      Cheers,

        So you think those articles that talk bad about Win10 are false?

      8 and not 8.1?
      Well that's a first xD cause all I heard is that 8 and 8.1 have bad UI and 10 is better.
      but I can say Windows 10 latest version 1903 is pretty solid OS
