Windows 10 has caused me nothing but fucking problems since I was literally forced to download it. I went AFK for about 20 minutes doing work stuff and when I come back it's updating my operating system to Windows 10 as if the gods had taken a big turd on my mouse and made it click to install it. I let it install and didn't revert as I had heard it wasn't that bad, this was last week. I haven't been able to get on to any of my steam games since I installed it, I've tried troubleshooting, I've checked all my network stuff, I've even fucked around with the firewall, and no changes whatsoever. I would normally say that it's down to steam or something I had done but this has happened since the day I got Windows 10. I'm getting error after error after error which didn't happen at all before. Fucking rediculous, I want my windows 7 back you extortionate bastards. I'm this close to reeing down your customer support line.

This is your fault for not disabling win10 updates
>>54546275
You should be able to roll back to Windows 7 with in 30 days. But sometimes the rollback fucks up too, so backup your stuff and be prepared to do a clean install.

>>54560605
win 10 is fantastic,just turn off few spy things in control panel or install UWT4 that will do it for you+more
ppl who claim older os is better are trolls or superheroes scared of change.
>>54560635
win10 updates can't be disabled
>Tfw genuinely dont know if I should go back to 7 or just move to 10
I'd have to yank out my SSD and hook it up to my old PC to get the drivers over because I get no USB support on this MoBo if I try to use Win7. Is 10 really that intrusive, I can't seem to even find an up-to-date bat file, everything is like a year old near enough.
>>54560957
No do not believe win10 is bad meme
It comes from trolls that still use winXP
>>54560605
did a clean install of Windows 10 and haven't had any problems at all.
it just werks for me.
>>54560605
your config on 7 was clearly fucked up anon
nothing but praise for win10 on my side
call me pajeet, but it really is the best OS from MS so far (and possibly goat)
also do this if you cant fix your own shit
>>54560933
>what is gwx control panel?
If you dont mind do a fresh install of 10 after backing your things up see if this fixes things i had all kinds of issues with 10 tilll i made a completely fresh install
>>54560967
>>54561004
so besides turning off their relevant privacy settings (I really couldnt give a shit about cortana and would only upgrade to have the performance boosts people are supposedly going to be having) what else do I need to do?
If I move to 10 it's with the intention to have it ''as 7-like'' as possible if that makes sense
>win10 just werks
kek
>>54561043
Then why not just stick with 7?
Hell or 8.1 since it's pretty much just 7 with a new theme.
>>54561016
thanks for reminding that flat design looks like shit
>>54561066
Well that's why I'm torn, I'd have to fiddle around with my new build and hook the ssd up to another pc with a sata usb cable to put the drivers I otherwise can't get onto it for win7 to then be usable. With 10 I get no such problem, but the constant whining over it and forced updates do leave me on the fence.
>>54561043
just download UWT4 and check everything = win7 and better
I personally would turn of just spy things [u can turn them of in install itself but if u skiped custom install u have to do it after]
>>54561089
What weird shitty mobo do you have that it has easily downloadable Win 10 drivers but not 7?
I am thinking about buying an ultrabook, the Asus ZenBook UX305 to be precise. It comes pre-installed with Windows 10, I believe it was originally shipped with Windows 8 when it was first released. I have Windows 7 on my laptop atm, and I dont really want to have Windows 10 as it seems shit and intrusive. If I buy the Asus with Windows 10 pre-installed, would I be able to do a clean install of Windows 7 on it? Or would there be driver issues? Also would it run like shit cause it has been designed for Windows 10?
I have searched for the answer to this on google and the links in the sticky but all the results seem to be for people who upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and then want to go back.
>>54561070
yeah i was never happy with microsoft doing it, it's like they went back to the super early days of flat design and disregarded everything everyone learnt in the process.
should have payed attention to google and their excellent material design
>>54561092
To be fair, you can "turn them off". But not turn then off.
>>54560605
>I was literally forced to download it
>>54561111
Yeah it's the root of my problems, real fucking stupid.
GIGABYTE GA-Z170XP-SLI
They even released a tool to add the USB drivers to bootable win7 USB sticks, but that didn't work for me and kept failing. So I used /cmd to manually update the .boot and .install wim to be able to actually use my mouse/kb on the win7 install set-up screens.
Once I got to the desktop, I have no mouse wheel functionality and the USB ports do not work for anything but the mouse/kb, adding to that the lack of a CD drive and no network drivers = Forced to use a sataUSB cable to move them on there.
>>54561118
I hear you. I think Numix Frost Light is as close to perfection as you can get to a OS theme, so I like flat stuff, but Windows flat just looks shit.

As I said. You can "turn them off". But not turn them off.
>>54561125
anything that is not on screenshot spy on you in any windows,just use some vpn
I've noticed alot more problems when updating directly from 7 and not going the 7 -> 8 -> 8.1 route. But I guess that's what happens when you push a whole new OS as an update.
>>54561210
>have to pay monthly to just be able to use your OS
This wouldn't happen if you just used Gentoo like everyone else.
>>54561195
if you really care you can block them with software solution,but seriously why do you care that much
if you are terrorist or something just buy iphone lel
>>54561231
But i cant play doom on gentoo :<
>>54561223
>It is free and also It is not needed,you can do what program does manually
>>54561231
I had to install Funtoo after Gentoo made me install Gentoo 10
I was never forced to upgrade to Windows 10.... I don't understand all these "I went and came back, suddenly omg Windows 10" stories... are you guys retarded or am I missing something that Microsoft added to Windows 7 after I already decided to upgrade?
>>54561255
But you can.
>>54561276
THATS NOT THE LATEST GAME YOU NERD
>>54561276
I meant doom 2016
>>54561294
Oh. You can play Doom 2 as well if you want.
>>54561299
Oh silly anon. That's not Doom.
>>54561321
But it is doom it is every bit as doom as 1 and 2 and way WAY more doom than doom 3
>>54561255
Simple Google search got me this https://m.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/48kmfh/report_doom_2016_on_wine/

>playing doom with wine performance loss
>>54562067
Wine actually doesn't remove that much performance, and I was just posting that to show it's possible.
>>54562067
>Running Windows with the self-respect and privacy loss
>>54561115
pls respond
>>54562067
I just did some research and since doom is an opengl game there's basically 0 performance loss.
>>54562288
>implying open gl can look that nice
>>54562368
>Being this brainwashed by Microsoft
I genuinely quite enjoyed Windows 10 at first but sadly it managed to break Podfarm UX2 and Cubase Elements 7 which I use for creating music
I had to downgrade which was a pain in the arse itself (took ages with a few hiccups, now programs are loading a lot slower than usual)
I will go back to Windows 10 eventually, but I think that will be after I've upgraded my drivers and audio interfaces/software
But looks like I'm going to have to sort out a backup solution just in case because I'm not sure how long my computer is going to last after all this fucking around.
>>54560605
This is the major culprit in Windows 10 where games and applications become blocked and throw errors. Happened with battle.net as well.
You need to enable sideload apps to make things run properly.

>>54562368
If Doom 2016 is OpenGL how come there's no Doom for Mac & Linux?

I represent Microsoft...Fuck You.
>>54563302
Because carmack is anti-linux.
OP here; issues seem to be fixed but it took a couple of days to notice the actual painful issues with the OS, fresh install brings hope
>>54561265
You're one of the lucky ones, just wait
