Um yeah, right. Everyone buys a new house and a new car every 4 years. WTF am I reading?

also, I just replaced a 8 year old PC, and the only thing that really needed an upgrade, was the screen (was a laptop), and replacing it would have not been economical. But CPU and memory are perfectly adequate for anything done on a PC today, apart from gayming, really, really complicated CAD and HPC applications.

Windows 7/8 users simply hide these updates. I painstakingly went through the description of every update for both versions and picked out these sneaky mother fuckers. They are all related to Win 10 upgrade and telemetry.

If you already have them installed, simply remove the through control panel. No more upgrade bullshit.

Stop bitching and just uninstall GWX. If you are too stupid to do that then you are clearly in no position to be saying what is best for your computer.

Hey /g/ how about this

To those who are willing and able, but have updated to 10 somehow

Why don't we all group together and install 7 again, try to make the usage numbers big enough

Just call your parents, your friends, your grandma, tell them that Windows 7 is back

Disable the update to 10 so they -have- to do some more tricky bullshit to even get there, raise awareness

Maybe MS will give up at some point

Why not 8.1? Updated drivers and longer support. It is really good now that I have experienced the garbage known as 10.

Windows 7 has horrible font rendering and outdated Intel GPU drivers. Windows 8.1 you can access DX11.2

Well, 8.1 is also acceptable. I'm just not entirely sure about performance, don't have anything concrete on it. Also it was harder to customize, visual styles would require extra software to disable the ribbon UI thing and mactype wouldn't work on things like apps.

First, the license is tied to your motherboard. Unique ID and all that jazz. Second, the license key in 10 is just a placeholder. When you want to transfer 10 to a new pc/switch motherboard you give the key of the previous windows.

its not even fucking trying to update. I've done clean install with win7 disk, and clean reinstall from harddrive factory image that wipes, repartitions, removes files, and re-bloats windows.. still fucking.. nothing.
after about 8 hours it will let me know there is only a few updates which is weapons grade bullshit, I've installed windows enough to know that there are dozens to hundreds of updates.. and then it wont even let me install the 4 updates for another 8 hours.

dont just mirror your drive, copy the whole fucking image.

>why does windows force updates on you?
MS likes money and wants more of it. In the old days this happened by people buying boxed copies of the latest OS (and office, yadda yadda) every few years, or OEMs buying them and then including them with new PCs. Then computers got good enough for everything people wanted to do with them and people stopped being eager to upgrade. Most normies don't need anything more than XP or 7. Office got good enough for most people somewhere around '97.

So people aren't buying the latest stuff. MS wants to stop supporting old stuff as quickly as possibly, because that costs them money instead of bringing in more money. Basically MS needs change and churn to bring in money, and customers have been saying "No thanks, don't need it".

So MS decided to try and square the circle by going rolling-release. They'd give it away for free for a while to get everyone who was willing to jump on board quickly. Now they're pressuring the holdouts. The endgame here is a.) that MS will cut support costs by only having one OS to support, b.) they can monetize it by spying on you and selling the resultant data to third parties, and c.) they can herd everyone into their app store and take a cut of third-party software sales. Possibly, d.) once everyone is on Windows 10 they can start charging a monthly fee for it, like Adobe did with Photoshop.

So we've entered the "you're not the customer, you're the product being sold" phase, is what's going on. It's time to install Gentoo.

Drivers for CNC at work only work on Vista or 7.
It was on 7 and it automatically updated to 10.
Got sent home early that day so they could call in the tech guy to reinstall 7.
This morning it was updated to 10 again, and was sent home.
Tech guy suggested installing Vista because it would never update.
>>
>>54894837
youre whating it?

I dont see why a cnc machine should even be connected to the fucking internet in the first place.
>>
>>54888050
Nobody will defend this.
>>
>>54894949
no, but I will say anyone that doesnt know how to close a program without using the red x probably shouldnt have much control over the os.. so 10 is probably the best choice for them.

While I mostly agree with that, upgrading the operating system will often cause even the dumbest users issues. Something as simple as changing a look of the basic elements in the UI is enough to make them scream that the OS is garbage and stop them from using it in the fear that they'll "break something" or it's "too hard to use". It would likely also cause problems with some software or hardware they use with their computers. Force installing(which what this essentially is for the majority of users) is a retarded trap which is not only going to bother the users of all levels and the relatives of the dumb users who probably have to fix whatever went wrong.
>>
>>54893750
Performance wise I would say it's way better than 7 and an inch better than 10. It's the undisputed champion of boot times for sure.
>>
>>54895016
sounds reasonable.
There are tons of ways to set the network up so that the cnc computer cant access the outside internet.. you should do that, or atleast blacklist all of microsoft from the hosts file.

you're right though, if they really wanted the normies on board with this they would have a UI that effectively never changes, and then nobody would notice the under-the-hood stuff updating.

oh ok, sounds good.
I just backed up my laptops drive before I started my win10 upgrade. I go overboard with this shit.. I copied the inaccurate windows partitioning that rounds everything, aswell as cf disks printoff of the exact sector that each partition starts and ends at. I then made images of each partition excluding windows, because Im not making a 500gb image file.. after the images were made I copied the contents manually just to be sure the files are there and intact.
I dont trust windows 10, and Ill be damned if I let them fuck up my windows 7.
Ive seen what they do..

>and the relatives of the dumb users
I found out the hard way that helping the retards Isn't really appreciated and they are willing to fuck you the second you're done.

on a side note, m$ has turned off the update servers or severly throttled them for windows 7 just to make it miserable for everyone that doesnt want windows 8.3 botnet edition.
>>
>>54895253
what the fuck.. so why dont you tell your boss whats up, and then have your boss get the password?
OR just slave the drive on another computer or from a live cd, and edit the hosts file that way.

Here's the thing, I can tolerate even fucking material design. Windows 10 is just shoddy design.

On Windows 7, I don't want aero, all I have to do is patch some system files and install another theme, which there are thousands. So that's a problem you can fix. On Windows 10? Damn, I wish. Microsoft is actively trying to break that.
>>
>>54895582
Basically two different places for OS settings

I mean how about putting every setting in one place instead of doing this unfinished mess
>>
>>54895650
What's wrong with 2 different places? It gives users choice.
>>
>>54895682
There's no choice if you have to look for one setting at one place and another setting at the other

That's the issue here
