Back when I used Windows 7 I felt like I was using my own computer (which it is indeed). Now that I am working on this goddamned garbage called '''''''''''''''''''Windows 10'''''''''''''''''' I feel like I am using a fucking public computer that has been worn out more than a 70 year old Russian prostitute.
Tell me, Sup Forums fags, should just go back to windows 7 or wait for the next major W10 update?

You need blackbird either way now.

I use 7 just fine on my desktop, two laptops, and my new XPS15. No reason to use the shitfest that is winblows 10 or 8.
Gavin Diaz
The problem in your computer's OS is not 7 nor 10, but windows

Depends on your hardware. I tried installing Windows 7 on a new laptop I got and it ran like shit and couldn't identify my SSD. Creator's Update looks bretty good desu, hopefully Microsoft finds their mind again and lightens up on the constant fucking ads and prompts.
Or just move over to Fedora.

ok gramps, you might as well go back to Windows ME while you're at it.

Carter King
You could run a whole OS and that CPU and RAM usage.
Zachary Wilson
Kill yourself, retard.
Jason Stewart
It depends on your hardware. Windows 7 is still perfectly functional otherwise, and it still gets security updates. The only thing you might be missing out on would be the latest DirectX. From what I can tell, Windows 10 isn't going to exit beta status nor end spying and forcing settings on the user anywhere in the foreseeable future.
Ryder Fisher
I don't see why you would use windows anymore. At lest for me, everything I used to do in windows works fine in Linux.
Sup Forums windows fanboys are severely autistic IMHO

I don't know where you get these pictures but they must be from the old test builds because no one has it now.

140mb just for the file manager, anti malware and some weird indexing program. That's still a whole OS worth of memory abused by bloatware.
Anthony Kelly
I've never personally seen that telemetry process and I'm seriously starting to think that might be a Windows Insider only thing. Putting a screenshot like that without context is pretty stupid IMO.
>Godot Y-you too...
>muh ram Stop using toasters. 200mbs of RAM usage is nothing with modern hardware. I bet you use some meme distro with i3.
Luke Cruz
Speaking of windows 7, is there any way to get it without buying a CD and key code?
Hunter Lewis
original iso + ms toolkit
Isaiah Cooper
I use xubuntu, uses barely 200mb, so I can use my RAM for stuff I actually need. The whole thing needs barely a few GB of space on the disk. Which also means more space on my SSD. Keep throwing more hardware at your bloatware, pretty sad you can't do more than that.

Owen Campbell
thanks user. I just realized a majority of my families laptops run windows 7 and i have a chord that can connect to harddrives to copy ISOs. But not sure how to get a laptop hard drive out or if it will fit. Is there any way I can somehow get their isos from their laptops?
protip: use a USB 2 drive on a USB 2 port; Win7 needs separate USB 3 drivers installed, so a USB 3 port is often a source of FAIL
find a copy of DAZ loader 2.2.2 -> activate

Is Blackbird legit? It promises to protect me from the botnet but how do I know it's not botnet itself?
Liam Harris
I use Windows 10 on my laptops and Win7 on my PC, and just forget it dude.
They both have their ups and downs, Windows 7 is all-around better, but Windows 10 has better features (VPN, ISO mount, etc) and some really shitty ones (force updates). You get used to it eventually.
Joseph Davis
>so I can use my RAM for stuff I actually need Like what? I'm not throwing hardware at my "bloatware", my laptop just came with 8GBs of RAM and I have no reason to hoard it. I don't want a subpar, shitty experience because of "efficiency"
Keep in mind that I'm using vanilla Fedora. GNOME is fantastic.

Landon Miller
I tried windows 7 but for some reason it felt worse, less stable, it took too long to load anything (browser, file explorer, etc) than in Windows 10
This is with an i5, 16GB of RAM, GTX 970 guess i'm going to get cucked by the Windows 10 botnet forever.

i'm gaymer with a shit proc so dx12 is a must have for me the performance boost isn't negligible
Ok, what games are you currently playing where it matters? Or are you just trying to future proof?
Jack Reed
Well, when I tried to boot it from a CD (since the flash driver rufus wasn't working). I'd get to the booting phase where it would ask me to select a language and ect. However, my keyboard nor did my mouse work at all. I wasn't able to select anything. Not sure what the deal is with that. Perhaps my computer is too new for windows 7? I got around last april or may and it came with windows 10. I am able to go into secure boot and allow other OS to boot which is how I got linux on one of my hard drives but windows 7 is giving me a real hard time. I chose windows professional 64 Anyone have any idea or suggestions?
Joseph Rogers
I just saw your comment about the USB drive. Would that possible be whats causing me to have issues with booting windows 7? My computer has 2 USB 2 ports and 4 USB 3 ports
Adrian Powell
WES7 best Windows 7 And it does not have telemetry updates (but does have Quality Rollups)

Heres the message i just got.. I guess my system won't allow for a windows 7 on my pc?
Kayden Lewis
7 just works and will till they stop supporting it. After that 8 or 10 for now 7 for life.
Brayden Lee
>blackbird
whats that? google doesnt bring up anything relevant

>Is it too late to go back to pic related? If your computer originally came with 7 or 8.1, go for it.
Turn on legacy USB support in BIOS or anything related to USBs in BIOS. I wouldn't know where to look because I'm not using your mobo. Mobo should also come with a driver CD, you might want to dig that out or go to mobo site page and download drivers. And the fuck is that Windows to go shit? Did you download the iso off corenoc or did you torrent it?
Brayden Cook
I have every intention of going back to win7/linux dual boot in the very near future.
Fuck this spyware bullshit.
Christian Cooper
Windows 7 has a far superior task manager. The one in 10 is bloated. If you think the one in 10 shows more information you're retarded.
William Sullivan
>next major W10 update? Isn't that basically another Anniversary-style update in March? Yeah, no, go back to 7 before that shitfest happens again.
Parker Gutierrez
No. I use it for gayms because I can't get the GPU passthrough to work. It's 100% usable.
Juan Hernandez
I use both 7 and 10. The only advantage 10 has is better/native compatibility with some new hardware. If you don't need that there's no reason to use it.
Cameron Phillips
This + don't use Windows Update at all, just turn it off permanently as soon as W7 is installed. Use Simplix update pack to get all the security patches without the back-ported botnet.
Luke Evans
do you have an motherboard/laptop that uses bios instead of uefi?
if it uses good ol' bios, then i would stay on win7, otherwise i'd stay with win 10 + classic shell
