What are legacy machines? The term has evolved over the years. Some consider "legacy" machines to be computers that are 5 (or more) years old. Some would put the cut-off at ten years. It's been my experience with Windows 10, that any machine that was born with Windows 7 (or earlier version), is a legacy machine............ I also consider Windows 8 and 8.1 to be legacy machines (primarily because I HATE 8 and 8.1) because computers born with those operating systems are starting to show signs of not being supported by their manufacturers. So yeah, the term is ambiguous. I got a new laptop yesterday. Finally had enough of my other three being basically unreliable in their own ways. It's officially the most expensive laptop I've ever owned.
