Install GNU/Linux

>DX 12
aka nothing

Use Ancile to get rid of the botnet "features" in win7

You got 3 years until Uncle Pajeet pulls the plug, senpai.

Vulcan is the future, nobody gives a flying shit about DX12 and for good reason.

I will use Win7 until it is so outdated it becomes totally useless for my needs. Maybe then I will force myself to be happy with Linux.

Because fuck Windows 10 and fuck Microsoft.

>tell me how should I use my own PC

Yeah, there's like 20 games using it and it gives fuck all more performance. Really a shame that W7 doesn't support it.

What happens then, no updates? I disabled them as soon as I installed SP1.

I was literally about to make a thread asking if I should downgrade to 7.

How do you skip the botnet updates, but get the security ones?

Do you not even read the first five posts of this thread?

>How do you skip the botnet updates, but get the security ones?

i think should be a good enough guide. i'm probably gonna use it once i downgrade to windows 7 myself here in a few days

install gentoo

the future is dx11 and vulkan

why?

install w10 again

I used Ancile script as the wiki said. Should that be enough?

Run Blackbird too

Enable Assistive Technologies to receive a free upgrade to Windows 10.

Install Windows 7 SP1 then install the following:

Don't post that, it's wrong. First, you won't be able to install Internet Explorer 11 without a lot of prerequisites:
support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2847882/prerequisite-updates-for-internet-explorer-11
I know, I tried installing IE11 on a fresh 7SP1 recently to do some tests, it's not as easy as running the installer.

Second, you don't ned to use 3rd party crap like that "Ancile Script" when 7 provides a GUI for everything.

Bullshit
I've installed ie11 on a fresh win7 many times a day

Glad I never bothered updating in the first place, hopefully more companies follow Star Citizen's lead and drop DX12 to not exclude everyone who's not on Windows 10.

Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate?

Ultimate if you want certain features that are locked in Pro.

install windows 10 again

turn off windows update

guys how can i activate win7 in uefi mode?
dayz don't work

You gotta enable standard bios in your motherboard before install windows to use daz loader. Also don't use win update. instead grab the convenience 2013 rollup plus latest security rollup (april). Also get IE 11, it adds a platform update in addition to browser. Install SP1 first before any other updates

Install ltsb instead.

microsoft toolkit?

>tripfag
into the filter you go

WindSLIC

some motherboards don't have this feature

>uefi isn't needed anyway unless your wanting a boot drive that's over 2TB. that's really the only selling point of uefi. now far as data drive reg or uefi it don't mater, both will work for large drives. you could get a 10tb single data drive and your reg bios will still work. (obviously you'd need to format it GPT style in disk management to use all 10tb as single volume)

Windows 7 activation with daz prefers MBR
there's a UEFI method but that requires fucking around with the shit that's available as options in daz

>being this new

why would anyone want Internet Explorer 11? Internet Explorer is dead. If you're that much of a sucker to use Window's bundled web browser, Edge is 100 times better.

I plan to stick with win 7. it just werks man.

Pretty much this desu senpai

This. The updates are as bad as getting win 10 at this point. Fuck uncle prajeet, he don't know shit about my needs or wants
