I'm waiting for a very system-specific bug to be fixed, and for my Auzentech sound card to get a proper driver.

Basically what I'm saying is that I'll never upgrade.

So it's not really free at all.
>>
>>51940189
Nope. All you need for a legit Windows 10 license is for your 7/8/8.1 install to think it's genuine.

lol no
This whole "Windows 10 is free" meme is retarded.
It's free >>>TO UPGRADE<<< to Windows 10 if you have a "legit" copy of Windows 7, 8, or 8.1. Windows 10 is "free" because Microsoft allows you to upgrade from a cracked version of 7/8/8.1 as long as your previous install is "genuine".

None of this makes Windows 10 free, and calling it free is wrong. If you want a license for a new system, the price is roughly the same as previous Windows versions. And no, just because you can pirate it doesn't make it fucking free.

>>51940338
But I activated my 8.1 with kms, signed up for developer preview, got windows 10 beta and when it came public, I got a free legit upgrade aswell. Ain't mad

Yeah, I got it with my college. Dreamspark provides quite many Microsoft programs for free.

I honestly don't mind automatic updates, just stop removing shit and not telling me what you removed.

I'm missing a few icons on my desktop and I can't remember what they were...
>>
>>51939332
>Why haven't you upgraded to Windows 10 yet /g/?
Because MS making a Chinese government-endorsed version of Windows 10 is all but confirmation it spies on you for your own.


I refuse.

as a person who had their surface pro 4 auto ship with win 10 here's a list of things i dont like:

>datamining, complete with inbuilt keylogging
>forced updates
>shitty updates that cause things to get deleted/crash
>bloatware
>indexing service eating up a shitload of ram, processing power and battery
>one-drive preinstalled and always active
> windows store apps that come autoloaded with ads
>customized ads per person
>cortana taking up system resources
>asking you to use your 'windows live account" for everything useful
>3 sec delay after entering pin before actual login process begins (something to do with a service needing to be activated first, ironically meant to speed up startup, but delaying it instead)
so much shit in the system its unbelievable.

i actually went back and asked if they had any surface pro 3's with windows 8.1 still installed so i could downgrade.

turns out microsoft recalled most of them to push out windows 10
>>
>>51942782
So was Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP and everything else that you can pirate.
>>
>>51944223
also, i have a hp probook laptop running win 7.

tried to upgrade to 10. broke most of the onboard drivers, even looked at updating them, but hp only had drivers for 8.1, and many were still incompatible.

shit system with next to zero backwards compatibility.

dont upgrade.

as for the surface pro 4, after i spent 10 hours deleting bloatware and making shit useable, the once advertised battery life of 8-9 hours. which with the bloatware running was reduced to ~6 hours, was now up to over 10 hours.

so much bs.

>sell you bettter system with more energy efficient CPU
>install bloatware to use up more cpu
>battery life remains the same
>your system is "faster now"
>>
>>51944230
No you idiot, because those versions were still cracked versions.
>>
>>51942782
What the fuck does "free" mean to you dipshit?
"Free beer"?
What about freedom of speech?
You have no idea about "free".
>>
honestly. i have no idea why anybody would want to upgrade to this piece of shit.

7 is still king.
