My dear friends, I am here to remind you that the beloved free Windows 10 upgrade offer will in less than TWO months be free no more. You should all be realistic here and just get the upgrade over with before you end up having to pay for Windows 10 upgrade in the future. The Clock is ticking every day, summer will be over before you know it. Windows 10 has improved a lot since the beta, do not listen to all the people hating it. I know I'll be called out as a shill by the usual paranoid idiots, but seriously, nobody should let this bullshit misinformation and paranoia keep them from getting a free upgrade to Microsoft's best work yet.

Let's be realistic here: Microsoft is basically giving you a chance to increase the value of your rapidly depreciating computers for free, as well as to prolong their life for many more years, all for free. You visit /g/ - technology board, yet you're ok with being left behind in a luddite fashion while the rest of the modern computing world advances? What are you going to do, keep using 7 or 8 in 2020 when no programs or drivers support it? Let's not even mention how insecure those operating systems are. The fact of the matter is older versions of Windows are no longer going to be supported by Microsoft soon. Already there are less and less drivers and games that don't work on any operating systems less than 10. Just get it over with guys. You don't even have to use Windows 10 after you upgrade. If you really seemingly hate it so much, as soon as you upgrade to 10 you can go back to what you were using before and still keep the free Windows 10 license key in case you want to sell your computer or something.
>>
>>54852987
Spot on, op. People should just get it over with. Windows 10 is basically just a more modernized version of Windows 7 with some very slight annoyances that can easily be removed in less than 2-3 minutes.
>>
>>54852987
Thank you Pajeet, I'll upgrade immediately.
>>
lol I can't believe there's still people who don't want to upgrade from being misled. Windows 10 is a lot better than older versions of Windows and the so-called spyware stuff is way overblown. I've been using Windows 10 since the beta and it works like a charm and always has.
>>
>>54853026
I've never had any real problems with 10 either, I don't understand where all the backlash is coming from. Once you set it up to your liking and use classic shell it's basically a more modern, better looking, and optimized Windows 7.
>>
well, i would gladly update pajeet but you didnt pajeeted enough work and my perfectly fine working office 2007 would not work on win 10 so i am not going to update windows just to buy new office
>>
>>54853019
>>54853094
I'm gonna be laughing at all the butthurt when you racist fools have to waste $150 to upgrade your computers in a couple months. In 2017 and beyond nobody is going to slightly care to support your windows 7 installs. You can just upgrade and immediately downgrade and you still get to keep your Windows 10 license as a backup. It's a no-brainer at this point, but don't please take my word for it, it'll be fun to watch you make 10 threads complaining about how x game or driver doesn't work.
>>
>>54853151
>In 2017 and beyond
Not quite, windows 7 sp1 eol is January 14, 2020

Not upgrading until they fix their shit.

My demands are:
- all telemetry removed completely with no option to enable it
- no forced updates

I'll stay on 7 until then. And don't feed me your FUD - it will be supported by future hardware.
As for security considerations, as long as you don't use glitchy Microsoft programs (like IE) and sit behind NAT, you're protected pretty much as well as with 10 with all updates.
>>
>>54853179
support for 7 ended in early 2015. It's basically on life-support at this point for certain businesses whose outdated software requires them to use it. Most newer hardware doesn't even support Windows 7.
>>
I'd rather ditch Windows entirely.
Have fun with your swiss cheese OS.
>>
>>54853185
Telemetry literally takes 4 clicks to disable. And you can still install updates offline individually. You shouldn't fall for all the misinformation people like to parrot.
>>
>>54853230
I do not believe you when you say that telemetry can be disabled.
More, I don't want to use a product by company that put this telemetry there in the first place.
I do not want to install their updates at all - offline or online.

>You shouldn't fall for all the misinformation people like to parrot.
Thanks. I'm not falling for OP's or your bullshit.

>You can just upgrade and immediately downgrade and you still get to keep your Windows 10 license as a backup.

My friend, you are the only one who is falling for the bullshit. Most people who post about Windows know very little about what they are talking about. I manage a company with over 500 workstations and Windows 10 has been very good to us. You can be deluded and use your unpatched os, but don't be surprised when you get infected by a cryptolocker or some banking trojan.

No reason to upgrade, op. I'm happy with my windows 7 pc.

It's easy.

But when you say that doing this actually disables all telemetry, I do not believe you.

Again, I am not falling for your bullshit.

And it does not matter to me how high up corporate ladder you claim to be

And it does not matter to me whether you actually believe the bullshit you're writing or just pretending.

Microsoft saves your hardware config so if you ever install 10 on the same computer it's activated already.

Windows 10 is so fucking shitty that people won't even install it for free, and Microsoft has to trick and force them into doing so at the risk of getting hit by a class action lawsuit. It has to be the worst OS Microsoft has ever conceived.

Serious question, which do you guys think is more likely?
1. Windows backtracks on its statement that 10 will no longer be available for free and keeps trying to push it.
2. Windows continues to try to push it and charge $150 to your credit card when it automatically updates without your consent.

Pajeet is right everyone. There is literally no reason to not upgrade, especially that it's free. Compatibility with older programs is perfect, performance is great, native support for many things that Windows 7 doesn't have and other new things. Also, related to privacy, you can disable every personal information you don't want to send to Microsoft, like your location, what you have in your PC, what are you looking on the internet and so on.

I worked in a factory that used windows xp until the day it ended its life support (like 2 years ago or something). Thats because they didn't use office or other shit, they simply had some special program running on it that controlled the machines.
Most factories or similar businesses like that don't give a fuck about updating just for the sake of updating, because it means paying extra money on new hardware, new OS licenses, new software (because the old one probably won't work), etc.
They actually upgraded to Windows 7 for some reason, which makes sense in the way that Windows 7 is a great OS, but now they'll have the same problem again in 2020 when the support for that stops.
I think they should just upgrade to an enterprise version of Linux and it's going to make life much easier for them. We constantly had problems with those windows computers anyway.

If windows 10 is so much better than Windows 7, then explain why I can't see the recycle bin on the desktop folder while viewing desktop through a window?

Using Shell:desktop isn't a solution, nor is Options->View->Navigation pane (should be panel, but Pajeet can't type it seems)

The Windows 10 EULA is actually super-clear about this. It says that upgrades to Retail copies ("stand-alone software") of Windows remain transferable; upgrades to OEM copies of Windows ("software preinstalled on a device") remain non-transferable. In fact, nothing changes there: if you had an OEM copy, you were always locked to your motherboard since Windows XP.

However, digital entitlements are in practice locked to your motherboard. If you've changed your motherboard, but you upgraded from a retail copy of Windows 7/8/8.1 to Windows 10 during the qualifying period, you may need to ring support (a free number) and talk to Pajeet to get an activation code, which will give your new motherboard a digital entitlement as well.

Or, if you're doing it during the qualifying period (i.e. for the next couple of months, if MS don't extend the offer - due to the lower uptake than hoped, they might) just install with your Windows 7/8.1/etc key on the 1511 build, and it will get a digital entitlement itself.

Source: the Windows 10 EULA, section 4(a) and 4(b). I already actually tried this.

I am telling you that it is better for you to just upgrade now. Do not believe anything said about Windows 10 spying on you. I have had no problems with Windows 10. But soon Windows 7 and 8 will not be supported and your PC will catch on fire.

Does ANYONE feel bad pirating Windows or using unlicenced versions?

I have W10 on my laptop and tablet. I'm selling my laptop and putting Win7 on for the buyer (at their request), and I'm putting Win7 on my new laptop. I've tried 7, 8, 8.1 and 10, and 7 is still my favourite.

I genuinely don't mind Windows 7. I'm not a hardcore power user and it doesn't exactly what I need it to do, without doing TOO much shonky shit behind the scenes.

I know some purists will be like YOUR COMPUTER SHOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING WITHOUT YOUR INSTRUCTION, and I see their point, but I dunno. To me Windows 7 was the last actually good version of Windows. 8.1 with ClassicShell or Start8 was ALRIGHT, but eh, to each their own.

My dear friends, I am here to remind you that the beloved free loo upgrade offer will in less than TWO months be free no more. You should all be realistic here and just get the upgrade over with before you end up having to pay for a loo upgrade in the future. The clock is ticking every day, summer will be over before you know it. Indoor plumbing has improved a lot since the beta, do not listen to all the people hating it. I know I'll be called out as a shill by the usual paranoid idiots, but seriously, nobody should let this bullshit misinformation and paranoia keep them from getting a free upgrade to India's best work yet.

Let's be realistic here: India is basically giving you a chance to increase the value of your rapidly depreciating shitting systems for free, as well as to prolong your life for many more years, all for free. You visit /g/ - technology board, yet you're ok with being left behind in a luddite fashion while the rest of the modern shitting world advances? What are you going to do, keep using designated shitting streets in 2020 when no governments or people support them? Let's not even mention how insecure those shitting systems are. The fact of the matter is older methods of defecation are no longer going to be supported by India soon. Already there are fewer and fewer streets where you can shit. Just get it over with guys. You don't even have to use the loo after you upgrade. If you really seemingly hate it so much, as soon as you upgrade to indoor plumbing you can go back to what you were using before and still keep the free loo in case you want to sell your anus or something.

I guess so. I've messed around with Linux Mint several times, but I've never dropped Windows completely and dived in, forcing myself to fully learn how Linux works.

Might do it in the future, but not now. The fact that more and more games are being made to be Linux-compatible helps, though.

>>54865466
learning linux isnt really about learning linux its about learning what your computer is actually doing each time you issue an instruction. its so enjoyable
>>
>>54865488
desu the main reason I dropped Mint most recently is because, for some fucking reason, Steam Chat doesn't show up on the taskbar - so you can open it, but if you minimise it, you can't reopen it without opening your friends list and manually re-opening the chat. Couldn't find a quick fix for it either.

It's a small, stupid thing, but eh.

Nope, I'm pirated but I've thrown out 1000's of valid retail and OEM licenses from old decommissioned equipment. And then 1000's more OEM licenses from new PC's that are pre-installed and just get wiped with a SOE Image/Volume License.

Think it all balances out either way.
