I dare you find a more cuck-tier OS than Windows 10.
I was hypef>>52386588
I was hyped for free stuff. Stayed because it booted up faster. It's like win7 but uglier.
>>52386588
beause my school dosnt let me use linux and forced me to upgrade because windows 8 is a "security risk" on my laptop
>>52386849
your school is retarded
>>52386588
It's faster, both to boot and in general operation
It's more secure, you don't even need to run an antivirus these days on 64 bit Win10
It has great online features such as OneDrive integration baked in
Best of all, it's free!
What's not to like?
Because botnet
Sage
I didn't do it yet, I probably will a month or so before the free upgrade ends.

spotted the prajeet
Anyone else think it's ugly as shit? I don't like 8 as well but I think 8.1 was OK
Because my computer told me to, Anon.
Microsoft saw back with windows 2000 that people clicked the annoying popups that said "click me" when they quickly popped up all over the screen.
Back then it was considered malware and was used to bait people into installing more malware.
It is funny that they decided to use the same strategy to trick people into installing windows 10.
>>52386849
bullshit
no public enterprise has moved to win10 and they certainly haven't deprecated win8 or win 7 for that matter
>>52386957

>>52386588
It's faster. Was free. Not autistic enough to get upset about standard industry practices.
I have Windows 10 on a second hard drive which I use to only play ONE game which had an update that broke Wine back in April. The game has a Linux version but I use FreeBSD and refuse to switch to Linux unless Poettering gets the fuck out of Linux

Dear Shill you should:

Should I reinstall windows 7 or install windows 8.1? It's that time again to reinstall and I could as well upgrade. WIndows 10 is a nope with all the NSA Inside (TM)
>>52389887
Pick whichever one is more comfortable to use, if you liked 8.1 then use 8.1, sticking with windows 7 SP1 here because I actually liked Vista, and this is Vista SP4.

I can't believe this fucking shit I'm seeing right now. Stellar reviews all over the place for something that is LITERALLY, and by that I mean LITERALLY, LITERALLY the same shit as 8.1 except with a shitty meme start menu, different but still shitty phone tier unusable meme apps, and shitty meme assistant Cortana that mines your useless normie data. Oh, and a fucking ripoff of Expose from 5 year's ago Mac OS but with worse animations.
That wouldn't be all that bad but it is missing many features from Windows 8, most important one being COLORFUL TITLE BARS. Now everything is so white it will burn your retinas off, this is fucking ridiculous, you could always change that color in Vista, 7 and 8 but now you can't anymore because fuck you. You can't even change icon spacing for the desktop or pin shit to the left side of the start menu, if you disable recent apps it just shows empty space... WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED THAT WHEN YOU CAN PIN TILES TO THE RIGHT HOLY SHIT EVERYONE IS GOING TO PIN HIS FAVOURITE APPS THERE GOD FUCKING DAMN IT I'M SO FUCKING TRIGGERED RIGHT NOW. And finally it's still full of fucking duplicated apps/programs like the new shitty settings, inconsistent icons, rough animations, shit's that early as fuck (Edge, are you kidding me with this shit? Literally IE but slightly faster in some shill benchmark and MS Paint built in because that's what everyone wants right? Being able to scribble shit on web pages, what's the fucking point?).
TL;DR I am surrounded by shills how do I stop this?
By the way I'm seriously considering switching to Linux or Mac, this shit is the last straw I'm so fucking done with this shit tier pleb os.
>>52389864
Dear freetard you should:
A. Personally audit NSA/SELinux, and point out where it doesn't transmit your every keystroke to the NSA.
You can't.
B. Provide proof that you read through the source of every program you download from the repo and personally compile to ensure there are no hidden keyloggers and botnets.
Again, you can't as Linux is literally an NSA/meme more than an OS.

why do you think they allowed end user involvement and input during development so long before the official release?
windows 10 is a stepping stone to bigger and better things from Microsoft.
it's similar to win8, sure, but once they amass enough useful data and get creative, Microsoft will be able to produce a really swell OS.
Windows still enjoys the lion's share of market for business and personal computing and they're taking full advantage of that so that they can perfect their art.
/g/ simply sees their work thu the glasses of conspiracy theory that this business strategy is conveniently part of an elaborate social engineering conspiracy by government to consolidate control thru mass surveillance.

>>52391600
W10 is that last version, they;re going with a rolling release like some linux distros do now, and the last major release didn't carry over settings for some people. Didn't affect me so didn't look into it more than that. Don't think it was related to this specific feature though.

Does Microsoft offer an upgrade to Windows 10? You'd have to have something installed that's worse than Windows 10 in order to upgrade and I don't think they have any products that fit the criteria.

They aren't, bug.n is godawful to try and use

This is a VS called "AMAYC"
It's the same as Win7/8.1 except it's newer and might do a particular task better in the future, like DX12.
That's about it.
why do i need official support to use an os
I'm still using Windows 7. I absolutely HATED Vista, and I liked XP. I bought my wife a laptop with Windows 8.1 on it, and we both hate it. I'm not upgrading it to Windows 10 because of the surveillance aspect.

It is no surprise that Microsoft is giving it away for free. Between the constant forced updates in the middle of your work, ads in the start menu, and general sluggish OS, they are also selling your personal information and spying on you. Just read the license agreement.
Decided to fall for the free "upgrade" to Windows 10. Worst mistake of my life. It keeps restarting to install updates constantly and I ran into an outrageous amount driver of errors. Went back to Windows 7 and everything is running good again.
>>52386588
I would never upgrade to windows 10. It is the biggest pile of poo to come out of Microsoft's designated shitting developers. Shit shit shit, bugs bugs bugs, spyware, spyware, spyware. It's so horrible that it makes versions like Windows Me look good.

I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 - the worst decision of my life ever. Windows 10 is shit garbage. My computer was constantly running at 100% cpu usage and even basic tasks like launching chrome were chafing slow. It may look shiny at first, but it's just like putting lipstick on a pig. If you're a tech illiterate cuck who wants 100% cpu utilization, for god knows what purpose, slow times to open stuff, privacy and file association settings that keep resetting on their own, and a unfriendly start menu full of "suggesstions" for spammy stuff, then Windows 10 is perfect for you!
>>52388265
Like what kind of stuff?
Cheese pizza?
windows 10 is free and great. If you disagree ,you're probably some paranoid linux shill.

>>52386588
I'm thinking about it. And only for the reason that my windows 7 'isn't genuine'.
I've used up all my SLMGR -REARMs and idk how to fix it.
Getting a working operating system for free seems like a good solution tho...
i even paid for it

Liberating people from Democrazy
I upgraded because I had heard about better performance over 7. For the first time in my life I was not disappointed. I gained 10 FPS on my 970 setup in most games. I instantly modded out the start menu, disabled telemetry, and disable one drive. If other things bother me as time goes on I will disable them to. I have actually had a great experience with 10, more so than 7 or XP even.
>>52388468
What are you, a fanboy or an employee at Microsoft's marketing department?
But I didn't, I only use Windows 7 and 8.1 on my PCs.

Thanks /g/!
>>52397647
Also I fucking miss the LnF of Vista and 7. ;_;
because the nag screen started the installation when i clicked "No thanks" and continued it even though i clicmed "cancel".
gonna reinstall win7 later. only reason i dont use linux is because games/dj software isnt on linux and probably never will be.
semi-related, facebook blocked my account today because i refuse to give them my full name :^)
>>52397756
>facebook blocked my account today because i refuse to give them my full name :^)
We have several accounts in my family, everyone uses a fake name. Why didn't you just use a normal name like Chad Smith ?
>>52386588
Because muh games and annoying pop up prompts. One the plus side it got rid of all the bloatware I was too lazy to get rid of.
>>52397780
i had it set to "Shane", so no last name. shane is my real name so its not even like im lying. they want me to display my full name so "friends and family can find me easier" even though if i want someone on my page i can give them the link myself.
remember when we were all told how dangerous it is to give sensitive information like that out online? its funny how thats just forgotten when it doesnt suit the needs of a greedy datamining faggot
>>52397808
1) Sign up with Shane Terrry. Or whatever, just look up most popular family names.
2) Add random people it suggest, BUT you don't know. Indians, eastern people, they will add you back immediately. US people will ask "do I know you?", tell them "just signed up and Facebook said I might know you", there he/she added you.
60 minutes and you have 30 friends.
3) Profit, you have an anonymous profile that will not get deleted, and you have valid friends. You can add their friends.
4) You became something. The non existing person is something that 'exists'. You gave life to it.

Well, if you use the LTSB version, I can say that's a valid thing. But Enterprise is just as shit as Pro. It still receives all the cancer updates in days, fucking up one software at a time.
>>52397913
I haven't had any of my software fucked yet? What do you refer to particularly? Which updates are 'all the cancer'?
I have Enterprise N LTSB on my poor laptop and normal Enterprise in my desktop.

>>52397936
The "cumulative updates", is the one I meant.
And Threshold 2 as well.
We use a wide variety of softwares, they are written in all kind of languages. (it's for product selection).
After installing Win10 when it came out, everything worked. Few weeks on, we lost one of our programs, nothing significant.
Then 1-2 months in, we were already missing 3, they would not work.
We started to virtualize.
After TH2 came out, only a few of them worked.
It's just one thing.
We also experienced BSODs, random slow downs.
> inb4 you are just talking shit
If you check the forums, the Win10 plebbit, you will find out that many people have issues.
Microsoft promised us "stable updates" with all the rings and shit. What happened? They slap together some half baked update, and boom, it's in your face within days. Good job, good fucking job there, Microsoft.
Now I am looking for ways to buy LTSB licenses for my company.
>>52386588
just bought a new laptop and had choice between windows 10 entreprise, 8.1 and 7.
I made a debian partition, I have to install vga passthrough after add my new 8gb ram
>>52397979
passthrough is far from native, let alone the CPU performance that suffers a lot.
yes, even with a modern i7, you get subpar performance when you virtualize.
(synthetic benchmarks show near similar results, but if you check the videos on Youtube when people test passthrough, they lose ~40-65% performance)
