I have a pirated version of Windows 7 Ultimate and I recieved a notification to upgrade to Windows 10.
Will it work? What version will it be? How do I reinstall it in the future if I want to?
My specs are: E2160 1.8ghz dual cpu,4gb ddr2 ram, gtx 8600gt gpu
should I just install gentoo instead?
>>51933997
yes
No, your specs are too weak for gentoo. I suggest you go with W10
It will fail mid-installation and revert to your "You may be a victim of software counterfeiting" screen bs

installed pirated win8 on my friends laptop, told him i'd buy one of those $20 keys on ebay for 7 and a legit upgrade
3 days microsoft gave zero fucks, he's on legit windows 10 now, and no one paid for anything.
>>51933991
Try it and if it fails, buy a key off ebay for $15.

Windows 10 memory consumption: 1000MB
Gentoo memory consumption: 50MB
Windows boot time: 5 seconds + 10 seconds after logging in
Gentoo boot time: 2 seconds
Windows optimized for hardware and compiled for cpu: no
Gentoo optimized for hardware and compiled for cpu: yes
Windows installed size: 20GB
Gentoo installed size 3GB
Which performs better? Choose for yourself!

>Gentoo installed size 3GB
bullshit, 200MB
>>51934173
can I play fallout 4 on gentoo?
>>51934241
yes
>>51933991
it will upgrade to windows 10 pro, just don't enter any key when it asks (skip it). it will activate online, at which point microsoft knows your pc is legit and will activate online without any serial in the future even on a clean install. at least this is how it works right now, they could always change it in the future.

The stage3 tarball is already more than 200MB, the package index will make it much larger.
BUT I'm bored and I'll do a clean install now and report back.
>>51934311
you can run linux on windows, and vice-versa, so technically yes...
>>51934334
That's not how running a kernel works
>>51934330
dude, why would anyone do a clean install?
I had though about it many times, but it makes no sense, because fixing the problem is always less work than installing gentoo.
>>51934330
you think the package index takes more than a couple of megs? you think it's 1.8 gigs?
>>51934351
The problem is that my install wasn't clean so I can't measure the storage it'd take up at a clean install.
How would you fix that without doing a clean install?
>>51934375
>you think it's 1.8 gigs?
I meant 2.8, sorry
>>51934375
Yes, I've been amazed by its large size before
>>51934379
do remember to clean the packages and builds after you install it, it's the heaviest part
>>51934415
Yeah, that might've been it.
More to the point I have a new SSD and I'm going to do a clean install anyway.
