Why is windows so god damned insistent on upgrading to Windows 10?
Because it's the newest and best version of Windows.

>it's free for a limited time
Biggest lie ever told.
>>54761316
They want data. Data is the most valuable thing in the next century and they want to establish an universal botnet.
I think Microsoft will make windows and office completely free. They'll just make money selling data to ad farms and security agencies.
So that they can collect ad data and ad money, and hopefully force people to use windows store apps

>best version of Windows.
For the NSA.
>>54761378
it's already free, i installed 7 with no key and upgraded to 10 by just pressing next over all the warnings
now it's activated. science.
>>54761405
And for me too.
>>54761316
Because it has ads and enhanced tracking that let Microsoft harvest more money from your computer use, and takes away certain user controls that prevent Microsoft from having total control of your PC.
Cuck.

>Why is windows so god damned insistent on upgrading to Windows 10?
It's not Windows, it's Microsoft. They are actually two completely different things.
>stupid fucking people will be the death of us all
Who knows, but getting that damned popup, it scheduling an upgrade from clicking the x, then it popping up again within a half hour is just fucking unacceptable, what the hell are they thinking?
>>54761316
Save your self.

Because they don't want to spend time and money supporting all the laggards using deprecated OSs. It's easier for them and us and everyone if all users are updated.

How is it better for anyone that MS is forced to spread out their resources instead of focusing on one thing that everyone uses?
>upgrade now
>upgrade tonight
>>54764324
If you close it it updates now.
>always threaten to install Linux
>I'm g-gonna do it
>I do it
>It works more smooth than windows and has unlimited customization options
Lol so is the Linux is hard and complicated and barely works thing a meme or what?
>>54764367
absolutely. Everyone with half a brain can use Linux just as easily as they can use Windows.
>>54764053
They have one job: Support their customers.
And they don't want to do it.
And their customers are still defending them.
Literally retard.

Let us know when you leave your moms basement and enter the real world and understand how it works.
>>54764367
tl;dr It's not hard at all.
It was so easy on the laptop that I was baffled by it. Sure, it was a *buntu, but it opened up the world to me. The desktop side however, was just awful for some reason. Ubuntu's most recent release at the time, 15.*, was using the Debian stretch installer and it refused to install correctly. I eventually ditched everything and moved onto Debian stable where things got a little more complicated, but it wasn't anything that I could look up and fix myself. Now running Debian testing with no reason to go back, all I'm missing is a KVM so Windows can live on the corner of my storage whenever I feel to gayme things outside Linux.
>>54764328
Isn't that malware? I mean Microsoft is using tactics that usually "bad programs" use. How is this shit allowed?
>>54764437
Didn't even read your post because I already know you are mentally deficient and your opinion doesn't matter, go play some video games.
>>54764258
>>54764053
>How is it better for anyone that MS is forced to spread out their resources
So instead they force unwanted software onto people's computers?
>instead of focusing on one thing that everyone uses?
But not everyone wants it, nice try shill. And nice business model. The customers need to adapt to the companies wants, not the other way around? There you have it, ladies and gentleman, we've reached the pinnacle of consumerism.
>Because they don't want to spend time and money supporting
>MS is forced to spread out their resources
Bawww, poor Microsoft. ;__; They weren't too concerned with that decades ago when they were too busy pumping their software into every device on the shelf shy of Macs. So, legacy support shouldn't be a thing because microshill decided everyone should use touchscreen? top kek

No problem , its on me.
Am I the only one who hasnt had any of these prompts to upgrade? Is this just a meme?
>>54764464
That's why there's a tl;dr. Thanks for the (You) I guess.
>>54764457
It's not like anyone important enough has been affected and the ones that do can't really do anything about except complain. At best MS _might_ get fined few years from now but so what?
>>54764367
Yes, and it is perpetuated by shills and people that hate free software. I was baffled the first time as well. Especially because it was harder to install windows 7.
>>54764367
Even I can use Linux, and I am 12.
>>54764487
>>54764531
And all that came out of it were few laughs, really. Nothing's changed.
>>54764484
Pls respond.
This "windows 10 prompts/forces upgrades" is honestly a /g/ meme right? Ive never been prompted once, im using windows 7.
Or is it a Windows 8 thing?
>>54763238
Holy shit is this the tech equivalent of #NeverTrump? Sad!
>>54764539
NOt a meme, happened on my win 7 machine too before I blocked all updates. Windows even downloaded 6gb of installation material for the upgrade without asking me. Was in a hidden folder which I deleted afterwards.
>>54764590
You guys must have poorly optimized settings or something.
I have updates on and am fully updated, still Windows 7.
>>54764649
Dunno, I allowed windows to install all updates before that shit hit the fan. When it reached my computer I looked up what to do to avoid that stuff.
>>54764649
>fully updated, still Windows 7.
That's a contradiction
>>54764661
Its not even an option in my Updates. Ive never had one pop-up or even a mention of it and I use my pc at least 10 hours a day for the past 4 years or so.
I feel like I'm getting meme'd on.
I hope some bad organisation finds and uses Win10 backdoors for their own use and then threatens Microsoft to "destroy" all PCs running W10.
Or even funnier: they use W10 backdoors to installiert gentoo on all Windows 10 machines
>>54764457
> poo CEO
That's why
>>54761316
What happens when you click "Choose time"?
>>54761378
Basically this. Maybe one day they'll be a direct competitor to jewgle.
>>54764539
None of my proper Win7 machines have ever received the prompt, but when I installed a Win7 virtual machine it got the logo in the notifications almost immediately (and refuses to upgrade because the graphics adapter isn't supported)
>>54761378
also ms wants to have numbers to show for dx12
>>54765270
Because Microsoft wants to give your mother cancer, gonorrhea, alzheimer, HIV and syphilis
