I'm buying a built gaming computer from a local tech shop, and I asked them if they could install me W7 but they tell me they'll just install W10 as those are the only official isos they have laying around nowadays
I already tried W10 in my current PC and ran like shit, but I guess in this one will be better. But I'm a bit afraid of the activation method. The KMSpico found here ( forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/65739-KMSpico-Official-Thread ) will be good enough?
What about the whole stories about telemtry, spying on me and so on. I'm as fucked with W7 as with W10, so I shouldn't care about that or?

whatever english is not my 1st language, I just meant they told me that installing W10 is simpler for them

win10 would definitely be better, both 8 and 7 will become botnet soon anyway, dual boot 10 with linux and use 10 for gayms and linux for everything else

this.

Kinda retarded to do the whole linux/windows thing as it sounds like a bit of a waste of time and uncomfortable, but will think about it
For now when I get the PC I will activate it with that tool, and look around for all the privacy settings and so on,.

Install Windows 7 or 10 by yourown moron. It's your choice which OS will be running on your machine.

There is no difference between the Windows 7 and Windows 10 installer, so what they said is bullshit.

>win10 would definitely be better
True, if you meant the Enterprise LTSB edition of Windows 10.

let's just assume it's going to come with a clean windows 10 trial version installed
can I just boot the PC with an USB drive with the W7 installation, and format the windows 10 space from there and install windows 7 on top of it?
I mean, just let the windows 7 installation deal with windows 10? idk I dont like dealing with hard drives, partitions and stuff, dont wanna break anything

Boot the Windows 7 installation from your USB. From there you delete all the partitions from your HDD. After that, create a new partition and the installer will be creating UEFI/System partitions automatically. Select the partition you will have made and press "Install". It is that simple.

If they install it then it's already gonna be activated. If not then just sue them.
Or do what this nigger said >>51309762
>Install Windows 7 or 10 by yourown moron.
Install 7 or 8 first, activate with KMSpico, then upgrade to 10, and then finally do a clean 10 install. A lot of work, but then you will have a legit 10 activation.
