That's right ladies and Sup Forumsents! It's the Windows Update Thread! Here to answer all your windows transition questions so the rest of Sup Forums doesn't have to!
Windows 10 free “upgrades” are not getting extended. Once again, you DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP 10 on your computer to keep the LICENSE. If you upgrade once the license never expires. If you are not sure if you want to upgrade, then get the damn license and go back to windows 7 or 8. You people post every 2 days asking if you should switch and this is your fucking answer.

>Do you like windows 10?
No. Fuck the store. Fuck the layout. Fuck the botnet. Also fuck micrsoft for shoving it down our throats all year like they believe only cortana's shiny blue ass could save our souls from eternal torment in the fiery pits of hell.
>So why would I ever want it?
As the last separate version of windows, more and more programs will begin to require it or its (goddamn) app store, including games that require DX12 and the Xbone crossovers. Infection rates tend to be a lot lower in newer OSes, and that’s even before Windows 7 stops receiving security updates in 2020 (like that shit that went down with XP a while back), so you might want to keep your options open.
