So I fucking hated Windows 8 and after trying it on a friends computer when it was released. I heard windows 10 is better but it just looks like the same shit.

Is it actually decent now or should I just stick with Windows 7?

Upgrade to windows 10, fiddle around with it, try skinning it to 7 with classic shell. Use built in downgrade option to restore windows 7 exactly the way it was within 30 days. Have permanent, keyless entitlement to Win10 in case you ever need DX12 or something. No more worries about 1 year free upgrade ending. Bam

It's never gonna end anyway.

Sure it is. In just under a month from today, windows 10 will be $119. Mind you plenty of people are happy about this, because microsoft has pledged to make the update notifications finally shut up, but if there's any chance you will want or need 10 in the future, it's worth upgrading for a few minutes now and then reverting back to claim the permaliscense

Hello guys my Name is Mark and I am From Germany.

This morning When I logged into my Windows PC computer I had The Message saying "Your Windows 10 is Free untill 29 July".

I was wondering Would it be Actually worth it To Getting the Windows 10 copy now?

Because I am asking this I am wonder how Much it would cost after this Month of course, Maybe its even worth it getting It Now? Or should I stay With Windows 7 for another Years?

Thank You for your Insight, I havent read this before I asked my Question here: so How exactly Does one do this? Will You Receive A Key somewhere or how do you "claim" your license and how do you Revert it back?

I'm pretty smart With computers but not That Smart so I hope you Guys could help me out

Greetings

FUCK OFF AND DOWNLOAD IT YOU FUCKING TWAT!!!!

wow that is Really rude my friend I am hoping You can be less Confronting next time

You just go ahead with the upgrade that microsoft has been prompting you to do. If that doesn't work for you, you can download the Windows 10 media creation tool-

microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

and use it to download a windows 10 installation disk. The new "digital entitlement" license is made automatically, and if you ever install windows 10 on that computer in the future, microsoft's servers with recognize your PC automatically and activate it for you, no key required.

To double check your win 10 is activated, click Start, select Settings>Update & Security > Activation. Make sure it says “Windows 10 on this device is activated with a digital entitlement"

Then to go back to windows 7 or 8, go to the Recovery tab and click “Get started” button under “Go back to Windows 7” or “Go back to Windows 8.1.”

Hi, shit porn monkey (Scheissaffe?)

Just download 10! Repent for your sins on Pearl Harbor!

>microsoft's servers with recognize your PC automatically and activate it for you, no key required.
how?

I thought we banned these shill threads.

Saged.

The same way they always have, really. When a computer is set up by the manufacturer or you activate a copy of windows you purchased, microsoft records the number of the motherboard and your hardware configuration in their servers, and that becomes part of your license. If you changed out your motherboard that would deactivate windows regardless of whether you had a key, and you'd have to call microsoft and get them to fix it. The actual key is mostly incidental and microsoft has been phasing it out since windows 8, as that whole system is too easy to crack.

>Talk about windows

that sucks since i was planning on upgrading my mobo, CPU and ram in a few months

So you pretty much want to build a new computer inside an old case? Unless you bought a retail version of windows you'd probably be SOL either way

no i got a new case not so long ago but ram mobo and cpu are old so im upgrading those in a few months

its a bit hard to put a new cpu in a 5 year old mobo

install gentoo

it's a brave new world out there, dominated by summer

there isnt more activity in summer you fucking summerfag

Winterfags are cumming

thats racisty

I imaged my drive and installed Windows 10 to test drive it for a week.
Verdict?
Honestly it's not the worst thing in the world but there are just too many annoying little things, probably going back to 7 tomorrow.
For example, in Windows 7 you the into the unified search "uac" and hit enter it brings up the uac settings right there. Windows 10? Nope, fuck you you get an empty screen on our fucking useless settings app. It's been 4 days and I'm sick of fighting my OS, 7 Just fucking works.

Also i should mention, I've had to block like a hundred domains in my local dns cache, this fucking OS will NOT stop sending shit to MS no matter what you do, that shit is not ok with me.
>nb4 just use this faggots app and turn it off hurr
My first solution was not DNS blocking, it was the last. It even sends shit when you open the settings app for fucks sake, this shit is unjustifiable.

Windows 8 is better than 7, it's only hated by people who don't like change. Windows 10 is the worst Windows version ever.

7, 8 and 10 are all the same shit though.

Except they're not, you fucking moron.

Works on my machine.

...

Well then never mind, I'll just keep it and deal with the burden. As long as it works on your machine I can sleep at night.

NOT REALLY fuck you it's crap.

Also, why the he'll do you have that pic?
If all things why

suck less at computers

so you've never played Doom?

how are you alive?

I don't save random screenshots of the uac logo

Also, i'm the best at computers out of all people I know and i fell for the cs meme. If it's annoying for me it's a lost cause.

No improvement at all over 7.

Worse GUI in almost all aspects.

It serves no purpose honestly, beyond the DX12 meme which'll never really happen.

Oh hi Mark! :^)

So I dislike windows 10 as much as anyone but I kindof feel like as my machine is primarily for gaming, that having to update to it is inevitable.

Should I just bite the bullet and switch over? I know it's fully of spying bullshit but what isn't these days?

>So I dislike windows 10
>Should I switch over
pajeet

No
