Vulnerabilities in Windows 7 turned out to be fewer than those found in Windows 10 in 2016

Windows 10 is the present and above all the future of Microsoft Those from Redmond have bet everything on one color and this means leaving aside from the previous versions of Windows either logically due to the passing of the years and due to the loss of support or sliding some information with which to convince us to make the leap to the most recent version.

We already saw how a few days ago the American company strove to try to convince us to make the leap and move to Windows 10This version, they assured, is much more secure than others, in the case of Windows 7, and therefore it is advisable to start thinking about migrating to the most current one.

The intention was clear and the arguments could seem convincing. But there are always dissonant voices and in this sense we have come across a report from the company Risk Based Security that, seeking to find possible security gaps, have come to the conclusion that Windows 7 turned out to be more secure than Windows 10 throughout 2016. Or at least, not offer as many vulnerabilities.

To do so, they have prepared a graph and a table in which they state that Windows 7 vulnerabilities reached a total of 647 while that in Windows 10 the number grew to 705 Both even above the 620 vulnerabilities found in Windows Vista.

Does this mean that Windows 10 is not secure?

Not much less. On the one hand it is normal that we find more vulnerabilities since it is a young system, in constant development that lacks many aspects to be polished and therefore It contains gaps that must be covered with the constant revisions to which it is subjected.

In front of it, Windows 7, for many one of the best versions of the operating system, It is an already stable and established system. Polished in many of its failures and with a market share that will inevitably have to decline.

In this way we face a developing system with new effects, many of which are notified through previous Builds before they are exploited and released in general versions, compared to a mature system that is slower when it comes to getting infected with bugs, but also when it comes to correcting them.

In your case and if you have used both systems and leaving aside impressions about functionality or aesthetics… _Which has given you the impression of being more secure?_
