Install gentoo

yes. join the revolution

Windows 10. All memes aside, I have no legitimate complaints.

win 7 user here
don't fall for the meme

Yes install Win 10 for Metro fail and no old game support...

win10 is not bad at all

I might try to download it onto a HD just to reserve my copy

But I'm happy with win7

Win 10 it is okay i mean it looks cool and works great on old hardware (i am using it on a 10yo laptop)

Yes, you should install windows 10. it is way better than windows7!

Don't install it because you are too uneducated to understand the simple differences between Windows 7 and Windows 10.

You are what's wrong with the world.

You are SO uneducated.. that you don't understand the difference.

Please go to college or at least research some stuff on YouTube if you are too fucking poor to go to college.

that doesnt help me at all
btw i want to stop playing vidya games

Never will, never gonna. Rather be without internet than switching over to that cancerous shit.

w8 what?
what are old games for example?

Windows 98

once you turn off all that microsoft crap then windows 10 is not bad at all

Windows 8.1

Didn't mind 10, had a couple problems that weren't terrible, but annoying enough to make me downgrade. I stopped using Metro though cause I got used to the start menu again from 10.

No

Still running XP and don't plan on updating it until I actually need.

Honestly the only thing I see wrong with 10 would be the driver and software incompatibilities, but for now ill use 7.

If you're careful, and turn on a third person security suite, you can run xp/7 forever without ever updating, and never need to worry about virus's.

>once you turn off all that microsoft crap then windows 10 is not bad at all
turn off what for ecample?

faster boot
cool start menu
turbo power multitasking
cortana
edge browser
dx12
>just a meme

Enlighten us oh great one

ie

What is "turbo power"? And why would you say 10 has multitasking when 7 doesn't, when they both clearly do?

I have Windows 10
It's not bad but I do advise you to look through the settings after you download it

11

If you ignore all the added shit like cortana/edge browser/whatever other shit, it's literally just win7

>faster boot
Placebo. Win7 boots fast too.
>cool start menu
Subjective
>cortana
Useless meme, constantly spies on you
>edge
Nice b8
>dx12
Soon to be replaced by vulkan

Go look on Microsoft's website. If you PC build date is before 8/13 you are going to have driver issues, and you might possibly brick your box. But, hey it's your choice if you want to let Microsoft push you into it, or on the other hand fall for another pathetic internet meme.

mfw just have it as a separate os, i did that w yellowdog on my server a while back

>placebo
There's nothing "placebo" about benchmarks. I mean, I have no issue with people using 7, 8, or 10, but don't be a fucking idiot.

>vulkan
Has yet to really see any use. There's no reason to act all high-and-mighty when the tech has yet to see widespread use.

cortana is fucking stupid

>It's not bad but I do advise you to look through the settings after you download it
what kind of settings? big brother settings?
what settings are important and do i have irreversible decisions during the install?

do you play modded skyrim?

there's a 8GB (I think? around that number) VRAM+RAM limit on how much memory you can assign to it using enb on win10, up from the base 4GB limit that normally comes with dx9 processes.

On Win7 there is no such limit, you can assign like 20GB or whatever the fuck you like. This may change in the future. I don't know what causes it, whether its driver issue or something with enboost.

FO4 is dx11 so there's no such problem there. Win10 or Win7 won't make difference.

On a side note, how do I avoid installing win10 permanently?

I have 8.1 and I am keeping it. Fuck windows 10.

Settings about privacy settings. You can also disable Cortana if you're not interested in using it.

None of it is irreversible last I checked. They just ask you early on and you can change it in the settings later if you change your mind.

>Placebo. Win7 boots fast too.
No, your statement is a placebo. Win7 has a less efficient boot method, loading things like HAL and USB subsystems as well as hotfix indexing well before presenting you with login / proceeding to desktop.
>Useless meme, constantly spies on you
Windows has been constantly spying on you than XP. Google Alexa spyware. It was built into IE5+6. Get over yourself. Your not special. Microsoft doesn't care about you.
>Soon to be replaced by vulkan
I want DirectX to die more than anyone, but a rebranded OpenGL isn't going to do it today, tomorrow or in 10 years. Sorry.

Its good. Mostly everyone that says its bad hasnt installed it. Just disabke cortana if u want

8.1 user here, i had a bunch of problems with my games on windows 10, so i immediately reverted back to 8.1

...

I'm on vista. Works fine. I'd change it if I knew how to redo the partition on my laptop, but I don't, so I won't. I don't know what I'd change it to because I'd have to research it and there's no reason to do that since IDK how to edit the partition.

Can I install a pirated copy of WIN10 over my existing pirated WIN7 without losing my data?

This is to win10 as win10 is to privacy and security, It is a never ending fight to plug leaks, and when your done, it forces more holes, ... Maybe a huge dildo and your asshole would have been a better analogy really

install as a seperate os. you do it of a usb from bios. it can run along side othe os if you have the right firmware
there are so many fucking things you do not want, privacy gains big bill. p2p updating, 'Recommended' programs, but essentially when you install theirs a big button that says install and a very small line of hyperlink text that says edit settings or some shit.

I'm saying I don't have a problem waiting 15-18 seconds for my PC to boot, and if you used an SSD you wouldn't notice a difference (so I'm told)
I haven't encountered any problems without dx12, and I'm sure a win7 version will be released by someone outside of Microsoft if the demands are high enough. Also I highly doubt vulkan won't replace dx since it's multiplatform and it's already showing similar performance, dx will probably be used only for Windows exclusive games which are hardly worth installing win10. If you want a gaming pc then you shouldn't use it for anything else because of the following:
Windows 10 has a built in keylogger which can be used to get any and all of your passwords used on a device running Windows 10. That's a LOT more spyware than previous versions of windows and I appreciate my privacy too much to let them invade it. And with so much built in monitoring crap there are probably hacker groups trying to find vulnerabilities to steal people's information.

with 10, you can create many desktops and full-screen programs and switch between them with ease by just pressing windows+ctrl and the left and right keys

I have win 10 and it is full of bugs. For example it often gets stuck after booting when you selected the user for like 5-10 mins. And sometimes it also takes forever to shutdown. Also chrome feels way slower now and youtube freezes a lot. I never had that with win 8.1

The multiple desktop environments thing isn't even used that much in Linux, and its been available for forever.

As for fullscreen programs... I'm not sure what you're trying to convey here. Because fullscreen hotkeys have existed for pretty long, as have switching windows.

Sticking to win7 until it's literally unusable. Then probably some linux distro because fuck all the spyware.

/this /thread

What you all win10 cucks are not adressing, besides claiming the i have nothing to hide, is the FORCED UPDATES.

That is scary as fuck.

I tried the upgrade on two of my PC's , rolled them both back because of driver issues. My old lady bought a new laptop for LPN school with win 10, it works flawlessly. I will never upgrade my other PC's , my opinion is if you want win 10, or you want to give it a whirl is buy a new PC, or check it out on some one you know who is running it. From my experience there is alot of built in spyware, and malware, which gives you the option of enabling it or disabling it, if you choose to believe Microsoft will let you do such things considering how unscrupulous they have been pushing their latest greatest winblows on people.

Oh yeah, the forced updates also with no control over updates at all in the home addition, I heard the pro edition gives you control, I have not checked it out though. If you want some one logging very key stroke you make and logging all of your activity online, and don't mind the NSA built in backdoor to monitor you to make sure you are not doing anything they disapprove of, well then by all means go get yourself the latest greatest OS from Microsoft.

I use Ubuntu and OSX. Run that shit in a VM dude. It's NSA spyware.

install gentoo

I'll just leave this here:
youtube.com/watch?v=aBGwisx7y8E

Windows10 is essentially one giant spyware application.
Have a read through here 4sysops.com/archives/windows-10-privacy-all-group-policy-settings/
This is outdated so probably plenty more settings to disable.
Wouldnt be surprised if there are countless others hidden from even being disabled

Windows 10 is pretty dandy. I suggest you do.

Linux debian

I just bought windows 8.1 yesterday. Should I do the free upgrade now? Haven't even properly tried 8.1 yet, would seem like a waste..

>remove Microsoft from Microsoft Windows

>bought w8.1
what a faggot you do not deserve any advise at all

>pro edition gives you control
So now you have to pay extra to get basic functionality?
What's next? Pay by the hour network drivers?

So I had win10 for 1 fucking day and downgraded to win7. I have a 1tb hdd in my pc full with anime, games, music and shit. When I started my pc win10 upgrade already initialized. I thought fuck it nothing could happen, since Windows isn't so retarded. After upgrade I checked the settings, installed some drivers. Started to play league and had 10 more fps on higher settings. I was like "damn win10 seems to be a good OS " . 1 day later I start my pc and wanted to watch an anime which was already on my hdd. "850GB free out of 928 GB " says C:/.
Mistakes were made. Directly started recovery but no chance. Downgraded to win7 and only cried about 2 hours in my bed.

I'd throw it on another drive so that you have to copy. But be sure to back up your current build so that if you don't like it you can go back to Win7 or whatever the fuck you run. I'm just gonna pick up a laptop soon with Win10 so that I can learn it without having to throw it on my main machine.

/thread

First reply, best reply.

Implying that win7 has no spyware

if your going to update, your best bet is to download win10 and put it on a flash drive and install it yourself. that way you can back up anything you want to keep.

when i was forced into installing it, when i came home it had installed itself, i inputted settings and when i shut my pc down it wouldn't boot up, ended up having to download it to a flash drive, reformated my HD and was stuck with win10 every sense, my recovery DVD's i made wouldn't even work, not even with a brand new HD.

also i heard it will put every image it finds into the screensaver, a good way to show off your porn collection

At least it's not spyware disguised as an OS.

if you dont, you'll get this next.

>security updates for win7 till 01/2020
no reason to get win10 beside being a totally cuck

It's all for your safety!

Why have i never recieved any messages urging me to upgrade to windows 10?

It's a windows update, soo, if you have them disabled, or have a firewall blocking update servers, they don't appear.

>using malware
>complaining about malware being bad

Win 10 updates are anoying as fuck.

on the other hand, win 10 is literally perfect for me.

It was definitely a good decision to install a pirated win10 on my laptop.

consider microsofts recent buisness models eg: the xbone needing to be always on and have an internet connection. and arguably their recent affinity for adobe who have implemented a system that also requires constant internet access to work

and then there is the underhanded methods they have used to force people to update which i have no reasonable doubt to think was totally deliberate on their part

i honestly think they intend to force people to update to windows 10 and then setup a monthly license that requires constant internet access or the pc simply wont run

thoughts?

also considering the advances wine has made into cracking .exe to function correctly i think in the next 2 years linux is gonna see huge leaps in usage and support but the thing is almost every program you have to pay a huge premium for has a linux equivalent that is totally free (except vidya which is also seeing large support shifts)

Am I doing this right?

Don't update to that shit.

OP here
next issue...
currently i have win7 Home PREMIUM
after the update i have win10 Home?
how bad is it when you compare those versions?

*no reasonable doubt to not think it was totally deliberate

>edge browser
>using relabeled internet explorer
lost

I heard a lot of reasons not to update to windows 10, but is there anything better at all about it, like any pros? I have a gaming rig running windows 8 by the way, could some user help me out here?

all you fuckers staying with windows 7 or 8, here is where your problems will start:
- support will end in a couple of years making your shit buggy
- new software (like directx) will only be available for win10.. good chance keeping on with new games

though win10 not the best, upgrade now why you can do it for free, don't keep your old system cause your are an autist afraid of changes. In the end you will have to upgrade anyway and then you have to pay

rsn fggts usng ubuntu distrs and have fun, bit not arch - it is losers choice

How about don't get a windows you fucking cuck.

unless you need your pc to join a domain, home will do. the premium part does not exist and is just a win 7 selling name

dx12 and future support
win7 or 8 will die
all my games run on 10 so I don't see why you shouldn't

Do you even know what cortana is? Not sure if bait or just retard

seriously no one has any thoughts on this?

make sure your drivers are compatible, Because its a expensive paperweight with a touchpad that doesn't work

>- support will end in a couple of years making your shit buggy
I'll take my chances until that time comes.
Meanwhile, time to port over to unix.

>upgrade now why you can do it for free
the problem with everything free with the world is, that "free" comes with a price. Nothing good ever comes out of free stuff.

that's what you get for being a furry faggot

good luck gaming on unix

>he problem with everything free with the world is, that "free" comes with a price. Nothing good ever comes out of free stuff.
today it's 0$, soon you'll pay 100+$, your choice mate. don't come crying. Unix is still not for home use unless you go Appletard

Don't believe half the shit here. It's fine.
>FORCED UPDATES.
You can configure updates. They're hidden but still there to keep fucking retards from turning it off.

who pays for shit anymore...

>implying I couldn't just pirate it, like everything else I use
Har Har Har

>Unix is still not for home use
What fucking casual do you take me for

good to know everything at your house is free to take cause "who pays for shit anymore"
