If you are happy with Windows 7, there is no reason to upgrade at this point in time.

Howdy, Just a little background: I performed a fresh install of Windows 10 last weekend and the response times of all my charts doubled or tripped. Sierra Chart also consumed about 10% more processor to run the same chartbook that I use every day, on this same machine. Since the hardware remained the same, and only the OS changed, obviously the slowdown is due to Windows 10 (I wasn't even running virus protection or anything). Luckily I installed Win10 on a separate drive, so I was able to plug-in my old drive -- and now I'm back to rocking Windows 7 again. My tentative plan is to stick with Windows 7 until the bitter end -- it just works and it's way faster. May I ask: What is Sierra Chart's loose plans in regards to Windows 7 support? If you took a wild guess of when you might end Windows 7 support, when do you think that may be? Much appreciated!! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-04-29 04:57:58

Sierra Chart will not end support for Windows 7. Only Microsoft would do that. Another possibility is to use Microsoft's server operating systems like Windows server 2012. This may give you a longer end-of-life date from Microsoft as compared to Windows 7. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
