>willingly installing windows 10
oh wait
>having your computer automatically install windows 10 without your consent
Past July, it'll automatically remove the money from your credit cards too.
How is this news? They said that upgrades would no longer be free of cost one year from the day of release.

they might just stop calling it 10 and release the stuff they want to get you on as updates

>paying for windows
No regional pricing, no discounts ever, ask for 120 in raw by current rates in any country.
And they wonder why do people pirate windows.
>>54393423
this tbqh
Everyone does regional pricing nowadays
>yfw Microsoft gives an extension to the deadline due to "overwhelming" public demand

You still can't transfer licence if you change CPU. And some people, including me, want access to dx12 and new CPUs.
>>54393519
You can't, or you "can't"?
Because I used to call Microsoft and use automated prompts to transfer my license, as long as I asserted that it was, in fact, the same computer.
>>54393334
Too edgy your scaring the children
>>54393169
"upgrades"
next year ms will pay money to upgrade
or free onedrive/office bs
>>54393169
>From July 30th on I won't have to check each and every Windows-update for traces of Win10-force-upgrade-malware anymore
i want to habeeb
>>54393339
I would pay more if it gave me control and privacy over my OS but instead we got a buggy pieces of shit OS that collects your information and it gives you no control over your os.
idk i will survive
it is too far
>>54393169
I wonder if my 'activated' install that I didn't actually activate is going to unactivate.
No way am I going to buy that shit for a virtual machine.
>>54393681
What kind of control do you want?
Every new build will be only $29 for the people who already upgraded :^)
The updates will install anyway but you will have to buy a new license and activate it after updating
But you will be able to do this automatically, just provide your credit card info :^)
>installed Win10
>everything is half-assed, like a beta
>new builds just break more and more shit

>>54393519
I called microsoft after a cu/mobo/ram upgrade and Rajesh transferred my licence, just like >>54393573 said
>>54393697
>unactivate
>>54393642
But they will still do diagtrack and ceip updates
>>54393862
pretty much my face when posting, I'm not native.
>>54393743
Doesn't matter, whatever it is he doesn't need it.
>got win7 key from dream,spark
>installed on 1 laptop, it worked
>wanted to install it on a desktop
>hurr phone Ms
Their terms say that I can install it on 2 computers. Fucking faggots.
>>54393519
You can transfer the license as long as it's not an OEM-license.
>>54393911
This, you can transfer it freely to new computers at will.
>>54393334
Install Gentoo
>paying $119 to downgrade your os
i what
I don't know which one is worse, updating my windows 7 and get that fucking 3gb installer, or disabling update (which I did for the last 2 years) and keep my system vulnerable and I don't know if them free antivirus would be enough to keep me safe
>>54393837
Exactly this
>>54393743
Not him but for one the option to not have all my interfaces a mix of touchscreen and classic for the most disorienting shit I have ever seen.
>mfw in the future they make windows sub based
>if you don't pay 20 bucks monthly you aren't permitted to install Premium Services like Word or Third Party Premium Software
>mfw it's literally Xbox
>>54393743
No force automatic updates and I expect telemetry not to collect information when I tell it not to.
>>54393334
>he thinks they wont slip it into linux as well
>>54393334
Thats not how open source works
>>54393334
That glorious feeling of using vista, it makes me feel so good and so smug.
>>54393911
Lol, i got the oem licence to save money earlier on, guess that turned around
>>54393573
Which part is the computer? THe case? The south bridge? The lower receiver?

Well you might not think it transfers anon, but my experience says otherwise. Sure it might not auto-activate if I ever clean install again, but fuck it, if that happens and I can't transfer the license I will just install Kubuntu or Ubuntu Gnome or Budgie or some shit and never look back.
Just so you know, though, right in the EULA it says you can transfer your license to new hardware as long as it's only running on one machine.
>>54395495
And so deprecated.
>>54393642
Dream on. The notification will turn into a literal advert, letting you know where you can buy Windows 10.
>>54393169
Awesome! I've been waiting for a better way to support Microsoft, desu. They really have no good reason to offer much support for Win 10 right now, seeing how it's free. But, if you pay for it, they'll be incentivised to offer better updates and more quality of life upgrades.
Good on you, Microsoft. I hope you're always there to look out for us middle-folk who can't be bothered with all the technical stuff!
ms toolkit
otherwise, use a decent operating system
>>54393169
Last non game software I paid for was windows 95. There is no reason to pay for it, unless they sell a version gutted of all the spy ware, which I doubt they will.
>>54393506
>demand
My sides
>pay to use a computer
>pay to type a paper
>pay to make a PowerPoint
I remember when we had to start paying for office, I almost lost my shit right there in my college English
>>54393331
Because people will get pissy over being charged for something that was until then free. Even after they had a whole year to take advantage of the upgrade.
>>54393169
>UPDATING WINDOWS 10

>>54393615
Fuck the children, it scared me.
>>54393169
Cool.
That means M$ will finally stop trying to downgrade my Windows 7 to 10 automatically, right?
>>54395495
holy shit, a warrior has born.
>>54397921
It will just open a new window that minimises everything every 10 minutes to tell you that you're a cunt for not transferring some shekels.
>>54396014
Hardly any different that Win7 at this point.
>>54393269
This, thank god.
