Everyone in this thread is missing that this is just a copy of the OS. OP said nothing about having a computer, or internet, or electricity.
I’ll take Windows 7 because it was still issued on DVD which would be useful as a signal mirror for getting rescued.
Errrmmm. So is 11. I have tons. Never take them out if the packaging but I still has them.
Oh, really? I thought they were distributing on USB drives these days. Are they OEM copies?
They may be OEM. I don’t really recall. I just buy the cheapest Pros from my local computer shop.
I believe you can DvD, USB, or none. But don’t quote me on that.
What the hell do I need Windows for if I’m stuck in the woods??
I don’t know about you, but my Outlook on survival while being an Explorer would definitely rise. I’d say I would Excell at the task at hand if I’d be pushed to the Edge like that, mark my Word!
This made me chuckle!
Def 7, it was the first OS used at work that turned invisible… It didn’t need constant defragging, optimizing or registry hacks like 98, 2000 or XP used to. It was a workhorse.
That said, I haven’t used 11 yet. My company just announced that this year all PCs will stay on 10 for the foreseeable future.

Can I fashion a simple linux distro from various sticks and pebbles I find on the forest floor?
You can, you’ll just have to come pile it up
The syntax is 
Oops, my large hands posting on my phone are to blame for the error.
golf clap
Well, according to Dr. Stone, you probably can
Roll a D20 for me please.

You start assembling an assortment of sticks, leaves and a hollow bird bone, patching holes with moss that has already started to turn slightly yellow which you picked from the side of a tree. Somehow, your thoughts veer off and you begin to wonder if you could find a larger bone to turn into a flute.
When you look down again at your creation, you start to curse under your breath - you got distracted and manufactured a copy of Windows ME.
Seems about right, yeah
Windows 11. Because Windows 7 ate Windows 9.
Depends, assuming a fresh install, can you even create account on win11 without internet access? Last i checked, it wont let you start with local account and requires MS account.
Apparently you can, during setup there is a window of 11 milliseconds during which you need to press a combination of 11 keys so you’re allowed to create a local account. The procedure only costs 11€ per try too
Yes, Windows 11 N or using a Rufus modified version.
Mine doesn’t have a Microsoft account.
11, so that when I outrun the bear, it’ll be 11 who dies, while 7 is waiting for me at home
Neither. I go into the woods to unplug.
I go there to get bitten by mosquitos.
Mom: We have mosquitoes at home.
Can I choose the bear?
I choose the bear too
I’m sorry everyone… but I’ll choose Windows 11… I just can’t leave without an AI assistant in my computer. I mean, yeah, I can always just open ChatGPT on a browser… but that just… isn’t the same. Also that Recall thing is great, I love these automatic screenshots that are totally not sent to Microsoft. This thing is extremely convenient, because pressing the Print Screen key is too hard for me. Lastly, I paid for the whole computer, I want my OS to use all the resources it can. Fuck you, Linux and Windows 7 evangelists! Your OS is clearly not superior.
(guess i made it clear that i haven’t used windows in a while lol)
7 because I don’t want to be stuck in the woods with someone elses computer. Also 7 has the good version of paint.
Win 7, because I can use it as bargain to trade with locals who help me to get out of the forest and back to civilisation. No one would be interested in Win 11 so that choice is obvious.
I dunno, if I’d built a shelter, 1 or 2 windows would be enough I think.
Hm, nobody addressed the fact that Windows 7 is outdated and has known vulnerabilities. The idea of this question was to see whether people would rather be spied on by Microsoft or by unknown strangers.
Spied on in the woods without an internet connection?
I pressed X to doubt so hard that my phone screen cracked.
You’d be screwed with 11, please connect me to the internet to login to your account. So I’ll take 7.
