Because windows 10 is shit.
/thread

Can you give me even one reason why?

Personally, my problems with win 10 were:

Auto updating at any time, regardless if you were working on something or the system was idle.

Forcing Microsoft device drivers over drivers from any other brand you had installed with every update.

Network file sharing issues with systems that did not had win 10.

Now most of these issues have a workaround, but they were a real bother at the start.

windows 10 has some real browser integration problems.

It's not.

Simply put? Windows 10 is absolute garbage.

Fuck, any version of windows is better than 10.

LTS versions only available for large customers. Everyone else gets ass-fucked twice a year by getting a new OS installed, fucking up things that were working in the past without any chance to go back.

Only way out is to install Win10 in an isolated VM, blocking the connection to the update servers.

...

Yeah. Especially ME. That was the best version ever.

This is neckbeard bullshit.

Scriptfags want you on anything but 10 because there are 206 septillion exploits that they have some fag app they downloaded from a Warez site that they think will hack it.

They're wrong, of course, but they think that shit.

Windows 10 supports all the new drivers you need for your 1080, so just get it and stfu.

>new OS installed twice a year

This couldn't be farther from the truth.

0/10

>LTS versions only available for large customers

who the fuck pays for windows nowadays? cracking has never been easier

legal buisnesses get occasionally checked if they use legal software or not.

>who the fuck pays for Windows nowadays

Adults. Adults do you fucking child.

Win 10 spies on you. That simple.

Why? Windows 10 was a free upgrade its first year of existence.

No I understand that, but I assume we're all talking about personal use here. He just said "is only available to large customers" which couldn't be further from the truth. I'm on LTSB and couldn't be happier with just getting security updates. I never have random reboots and feature updates that cause my system to wait on "Getting windows ready" for like 30 minutes like everyone else.

Except I am an adult and this is my personal system, what reason is there to pay for this? What do I benefit from? Businesses are forced to pay for it for legal reasons, I get that, but what does that do for me? A status symbol? I don't get it.

This is true. On LTSB botnet is minimized but I still try to do all I can at least, whether it's working or not.

1/10 bait. Made me post pic.

I wouldn't have a problem with the updates if it didn't reset fucking settings all the time or at least gave you a check list before updating.

Other than that its really no better than 7

oh no they see my porn too now ahhhhh

>what does it do for me
>status symbol
>I don't get it

Manchild detected. Have mommy make you tendies.

At least you admit you have no argument.

My computer refuses to operate for more than 6 minutes when installing Windows 10. I was almost unable to roll back my operating system because it would constantly crash from using too much memory.Tried everything and couldn't fix it, but my computer simply wouldn't run long enough to even attempt most of the methods suggested lol. Been using windows 8 on my machine for 2 years and don't plan to update any time soon.

Windows 10 isn't designed to be run on a fucking toaster oven poorfag.

If you ever feel the want to try it again, I'd suggest just clean installing and see what it does. A lot of people had tons of issues from the upgrade method just because of how messy a process it is.

I don't need an argument bro, you're just wrong. If you can't see why, that's your problem.

>Personally, my problems with win 10 were:

It schedules the updates for later in my experience
>Forcing Microsoft device drivers over drivers from any other brand you had installed with every update.
Never had this happen once
>Network file sharing issues with systems that did not had win 10.
This is a problem with any new vs. old version. I have a separate server for this kind of thing.
>Now most of these issues have a workaround, but they were a real bother at the start.
There are way more issues with the bloat, advertising, wifi sharing, and telemetry, IMO.

True. They fucked me on being able to access a couple DoD websites.

Not him, but to formulate the sentiment:
I pay for music I already listen to for free online. I can easily download it if I wanted to (I dont' because why bother when its online?). But why pay for it? Because the creators did good work that deserves financial support.

You sheer inability to conceive that you should pay for something you don't have to does suggest not just a lack of integrity but a lack of any concept thereof- a quality of adolescence, we generously assume, as the alternative is sociopathy.

Technically the upgrade procedure moves the old installation into a backup, writes a new OS from an image and then tries to copy as much of the settings from the previous one in the new one. And in the past this procedure has not proven to be reliable.

mostly the reasons listed above and the layout is confusing and stupid as fuck in the littlest ways. Like not being able to tell if something is an image or video file until you open it, how you can't directly go to my documents, that bitch cortana the list goes on. I think it uses too many resources too and slows your pc down compared to win7.

>>Forcing Microsoft device drivers over drivers from any other brand you had installed with every update.
>Never had this happen once

I believe it's mainly just graphics drivers, I can't stay on my current nvidia driver version without blacklisting updates for it via group policy, upon rebooting I noticed a failed update for NVIDIA Display Driver (which means the blacklist worked) and then another a month later. I've never had the problem with stuff like audio drivers.

>But why pay for it? Because the creators did good work that deserves financial support.

So do Linux devs, and yet they don't charge me anything. I would happily donate to them. I personally just don't want to pay, if I could use literally anything else I would, but unfortunately the software monopoly is on Windows so I can't realistically use Linux for my daily driver.

If Linux got popular enough they'd start charging too, don't you understand the basics of the society you live in ? You said you're an adult .

To add, Android, Mac OS, BSD, all of those are free to use (minus some licensing fees in some cases), so why is Windows the only one?

Who would start charging? Redhat, the most popular business-oriented OS charges for support if you want it, but the OS is free. Microsoft doesn't give me any kind of support. The Linux kernel runs on millions of devices on the planet, and yet they still don't charge for their work.

Very poor argument.

Mac OS isn't free. And windows costs money because it's in a state where it can charge money, because it's a must for some people . It's how companies work , Microsoft has leverage and they will use it to their advantage. It just makes sense for Linux to be free and go the donation route because that makes them more money than if they sold it . Not as many would have gotten into Linux is it had a price barrier.

>Mac OS isn't free

It is though. You just legally are not supposed to use it on non-Apple hardware.

>And windows costs money because it's in a state where it can charge money

And so is Redhat, yet they only charge for *optional* support. I understand Microsoft CAN charge money if they want to, but the whole argument you are saying is that I'm a child because I choose to opt out of paying for their product because I don't gain anything by paying. So what else?

The difference is Microsoft has a strangle hold with its windows software . It's clear to see that they dominate in the public department . And as a business they can take it as an advantage . Being a smart consumer and avoiding Microsoft and finding ways to not pay for their software has nothing to do with the reason they charge. The question of "why do they charge " is a very naive one . They charge because they are at a point in business where they know they can .

I admit I asked why do they charge. And I agree, they have the ability to because monopoly. So we are on the same page there.

But for the shitposters saying anybody who doesn't pay is a nigger, I'm sorry I don't gain anything by paying. No support besides posting on the Microsoft forums and having a pajeet copypaste a scripted step-by-step list that has nothing to do with my problem, and no free upgrades in the past (now changed slightly with Windows 7/8 to Windows 10 free offer). If I was a business paying for a commercial volume-based OS license I would get support, but as a personal user paying for their product I get jack shit. So there is no logical reason for me to pay besides muh morals argument.

That's true . I concede in that point .

It's obviously in the pricing you fucking retard.

>whiteknighting for another man
Daddy wasn't around to tell you that's gay, eh?

get Windows 7 with SP1 (pre-cracked or acivated off torrent site)

disable updates

never complain again

:)

why disable update?

>Whiteknighting
>For a man
Pick one you dumb fucking retard.
Clearly your daddy wasn't around to fucking smack you hard enough the vaccines popped out and you lost your autism.

Because Microsoft could detect that you are running a cracked license and effectively brick your OS.

8 was the best. Only dumbasses that couldnt get past the start screen think otherwise.

10 is worse in every way except for undocked store apps that no one uses.

>Pick one
Why? I don't think you understand what the word means.
>dumb fucking retard
Redundant.
>smack you hard enough the vaccines popped out
That's not how vaccines work, little kid.

>reaction images after 2010
How new of you.

>getting this triggered someone can tell you were raised by a single mother

doesn't brick it, it just nags you about it and makes your desktop wallpaper go away and replaces it with black and a message

also you can disable that by running a tool that deletes all instances of WGA from your registry. you can do it manually

it stands for Windows Genuine Advantage

which is such a non-advantage

so if you avoid that update you will never have any problems, but I hate fucking updates because they waste so much time and hard drive space with little or no reward

to the people that say updates keep your computer more secure - BULLSHIT

I never have problems and all I run is lousy free antivirus

Clearly you have no clue what whiteknighting is or where the term came from.
>Redundant
It's not redundant actually. You think yourself a high functioning autist because you can finally wipe your own ass after 35 years of brain development and are now proud of that fact but since you never got through highschool you're dumb. And other retards are actually doing something with their lives that's more productive. Like stocking shelves.
>That's not how vaccines works, little kid.
That's why you don't know that enough violence can remove autism.
>Stop doing things on image boards I don't approve off.
Try again faggot.

This has never happened. The only thing that ever happened was when they released that KB9701033 that phoned home to microsoft and deleted any activation crack solutions like Dazloader, and then they quickly got a shitload of flak for it because spying and disabled the update for anybody who didn't have it yet.

Disabling updates just leaves yourself open to Wannacrypt and any further shitstorms. The only reason I could see to disable them is because telemetry being backported, but nothing else.

>replying again because you can't stand you got told
Watch: You'll do it again. It's your toddler-like ego which is causing it.

it's not windows 10 is their best version

or you could just install KMSpico and not have to do any of that bullshit.

>KMSpico

thanks for the tip

>What is a self-fulfilling prophecy
No I'm just doing it to fuck with this thread. Great laughs and easy (You)s

Thanks faggot.

Forget these try-hard shills. They don't fit in because they're not from here.

That's why I was saying earlier in the thread that cracking has never ever been this easy since windows activation was introduced, micro-KMS services are the easiest and simplest shit ever made to activate Windows. They don't modify anything bootloader related like Daz, and work on any version of Windows that is able to be KMS activated.

Most of microsofts sales have always been to businesses. Unless you build your computer, it's coming with windows preinstalled. The manufacturer pays for that license and it is subsidized when you buy the computer.

>shills
Oh look, another reaction image posting newfag who doesn't understand the words he's using.

I understand that, I was mainly replying to the statement that LTS is only available to large customers, which isn't true. It only is if you are adamant about using a legit Windows license.

Nigger. Literally google what Whiteknighting is.

AND GET A VIRUS (they are all virused). KYS

It isn't. Any competent person within IT knows windows 10 is by far the best working windows OS so far and will stay so for the forseeable future, gtfo basement dwelling neckbeards

windows 10 is weird and shit
but whatever

constant crashing when searching on the web that didn't happen with win 7

what if there are no microshaft drivers for something? I run a small recoridng studio and obviously use drivers supplied with outboard gear. Will they get replaced every update? because that's a fucking ballache.

If you had three days more experience socializing then you'd understand that I was asking you if you could explain what whiteknighting is. But I guess I overestimated you.

>on nearly every production web server on entire planet
your a idiot

>This is how you summer.
You would know, tourist.

Basically they force merged the "recommended updates" section with regular windows update that used to be separated, so any driver that has an update on Windows update is at risk of that driver being replaced any time a new update is found. I'm not sure if it specifically uses Micropenis drivers or it pulls a manufacturer driver from their repos. Never really looked, but nevertheless I blacklisted any drivers I wanted to keep at a specific version

>Explaining something you clearly don't understand because you're too scared to be wrong

Your face is pic related.

Microsoft is too busy busting a nut over their touch screen Dells. Windows 10 broke away the navigation sequencing, that made Bill Gates rich. He's a genius that left his company for dead.
