Why aren't you using Windows 7,,, are you gay or something?

why aren't you using Windows 7,,, are you gay or something?

8.1 with classic stert works just fine for me and i dont feel like hunting down drivers to install 7 on this shit laptop that came with 8.1

I do mocap with the kinects for xbox one. kinect drives only work for 8 and up

>Not running Vista
>Falling for the Big Bang Theory tier LUL VISTA IZ BAD meme

8.1 is sleeker.
I actually like the fullscreen start, the classic one is too small to effortlessly navigate and the "frequently used" is too small to be useful.

i am... it's just that windows 10 blue screens on my board getting to installation

Honestly i never use the start menu besides hitting the windows key and typing sni to launch the snipping tool. The search function in 8.1 is complete shit for launching apps.

>using classical theme
Pleb.

Doesn't it work the same as in 7?

The win+f one? nope, It just searches your files.

No, press win and start typing. The search bar will automatically appear.

It works, but it seems a bit laggy, especially when heading back to desktop.

>using the classic theme
>eschewing hardware acceleration

Windows 10 performs better

i turned down the free upgrade because there is nothing wrong with 7. i don't have any performance issues, everything is snappy and clean as fuck

Ryzen.
And no I won't do that broken hackey thingy to run w7, it's just not worth it.

>Ryzen.
This.

10 really is shit, though. It seems like a daily struggle with this shit resetting my app associations.

what theme is that

This thing only needed if you want auto updates. Completely artificial restrictions.

Why don't you put the recycle bin in start menu

You only need a workaround to get updates, and all the updates add is botnet.

I thought there was keyboard and mouses issue no?

Please don't meme on me, I'm considering wiping 10 at this point if I can

You don't need to.

For a braindead easy install, use a PS/2 keyboard and a dvd or bluray drive to install from. That shit is pretty cheap online.

Something

>You only need a workaround
already too much, there is no benefit to it.

This should be a good enough reason to not waste your time for muh botnet.
I don't have a ps2 port and I don't use cd/dvd anymore.

>only games and emulators visible on desktop and in start menu

then you should be on a linux distro on Ryzen
inb4 b-b-but muh games

>reddit
Stay there

>already too much
Yeah, because doing something once is way worse than constantly enduring a new, and shittier, OS right?

>6.76/8 GB ram used by 2 chrome tabs and task manager
KYS

thanks user, I might give it a go tommorow

> I am 12 years old and everything thing is GAY XD

>enduring
I have no problems with windows 10, everything has always worked for me, I'm using it since beta.
Updates are a non-problem for me as I have the fiber and actually set my shit up to not auto reboot and to not even asking me to.
I value performance more than anything else for this computer.
I also use linux and bsd for various things and at work (sysadmin).
As long as you understand the different trade-off, you should use whatever you want, I chose to give up some privacy on this computer, that doesn't make me less intelligent than the average hobbyist pushing his values down my throat.

>I value performance more than anything else

quote the whole sentence next time.
>I value performance more than anything else
>for this computer.
This windows machine is under a different sub net and won't be discovered nor it can discover shit on my network.
I only play games and mess with different games network engines especially for load balancing or advanced vulkan shit.
While you rice your hackey WM to make it somehow useable, I learn new things, to each its own I guess...

>I don't have a ps2 port

The Crosshair VI is the only board I can think of without a PS/2 port, and that has USB 2.0 ports which serve the same purpose just as well. Don't install Windows 7 if you don't want to, but don't make excuses that you can't, bitch nigga.

From first hand experience Vista is bad. Once I upgraded to 7 I never looked back or forward. 7 is the pinnacle of windows at the moment. 8/8.1 are trash, and 10 is just cancer.

It took 1 hour and a half to finish. Thanks windows for their contribution to company productivity. Why do they do this? are they retarded?

i hope this is bait

>are you gay or something?
exactly the type of immaturity you would expect from a botnet member

Why wouldn't you use Windows 10?

because Windows 7 is better than Windows 10

No, it's not.

2 dumb 2 install my dood

wrong, it's technically worse

I want to work so mint is it.

>it's a winshit user thinks he's not part of the botnet because he's using 7 episode
You do know that every NT OS since NT 4.0 has included multiple backdoors and other malware, right? The only way to use Winshit and not be a part of the botnet is to use 9x. If you have to be a Winshit user you should at least be using 8.1 instead of this outdated piece of shit. Windows 7 users are becoming the new XP users, forever being a pain in the ass for developers because they refuse to let go of their ancient OS. Enjoy your unpatched security exploits and no programs running on your piece of shit OS in the near future.

That comment was a bit rude in attitude, you're not encouraging us to switch.

>People say Linux looks bad
>Have this as their Desktop

It didn't work with my R5 1600 or mobo

>why aren't you using Windows 7
because i'm using windows 2000

Well done.

nigger has League of Losers installed. We don't fucking want him either.

Path.
In desktop i can see if is empty or full.
My 16gb kit is coming.
It's simple and comfy. No regrets

>using comfy to arbitrarily describe something as good

Ok then. But even in start menu the recycle bin can indicate if it's empty or full.

i have been trying to install windows xp and keep getting BSOD'd oh well. it was a xp pro with a unlimited use product key.

This. DWM aside, 8.1 with Classic Shell it's literally a Windows 7 reskin and jumping to 7 on a laptop means having to go through drivers hell which is a no-no.

Pitiful

That's not a way to determine sexuality

Mother of god

Anyone here running windows 10
enterprise ltsb? I was thinking of trying it out

dog shit

It's slightly less botnet than Pro, but it's not a magical fix to escape the botnet altogether. It depends how much information you're willing to give to MS, the telemetry in enterprise is very limited but could still contain things like application names and so on in the case of crash reports.

>mfw my T430 has windows xp drivers
Feels pretty good my man

>he worries about ram usage
Wew look at this poor fag

For installation use a ps/2 keyboard/mouse. After I installed all of the drivers from my motherboard CD I haven't had any trouble using my USB mouse.

Remember me? So...

I'm using windows 10 because I don't wannacry

Vista with SP2 is the patrician choice

It corrected most of the issues of the first versions and works flawlessly, with a far more consistent GUI.

I stopped using it because I got a GTX 1050 and it has no drivers sadly.

Unused RAM is wasted RAM.

But I am

Are you running a VM in the background or something? I barely push 4GB unless I'm running VMware, even on Windows 10.

4gb in Ramdisk.

>Windows

Yes. What of it?

Because:
>Windows 10 is literal trash (not to mention a spyware)
>Windows 8.1 sucks plain balls
>My copy of Windows 7 is pirated (lolpoorfagxd)
>Free security updates

Plus, my desktop looks 1000x better than my Windows 7 desktop (which is only used for gaming and shieet)

this looks very 2009

>discord botnet

>complains about windows for being spyware

>plays ASSFAGGOTS
>calling anyone else gay
Oh right, Sup Forums has a thing for b8ing.

I like this way. Without frills, square.

>Aku orders Pizza

Don't you have screen tearing issues on video playback with the classic theme? I'd love to use it instead of Aero but that's the one thing stopping me
