Daily Reminder: One more month until Micro$oft stop nagging you to update to Windows 10 for "free"
you can still upgrade windows 8.0 to 8.1 for free, even though that offer was 'for a limited time only' as well, so i doubt they#ll stop nagging
>>55032714
I'm gonna upgrade soon then. I get that it's a shitty botnet OS but I need to be able to utilize DX12 if Vulkan falls by the wayside.
>>55032786
It's not shitty.

Yeah, they'll just force the update on everyone with no way to go back
Damn shame they had to drag you guys kicking and screaming into the future

Ha. Jokes on you, I'm Maharaj.
>>55032714
Plot twist: free 1 year upgrade extension into 2017!
>>55032714
Microsoft should have all previous versions forced updated by then.

>>55032714
They will keep nagging, it's just not gratis anymore.

windows users... what happened to common sense?
>>55034240
i dont get whats nagging? I don't see the nags anywhere. My pc doesnt have that bullshit botnet come up, nor do i see ads for it because I block them. Is it really that bad?
>>55032714
>upgrade to Windows 10!
>only $24.99!!
>>55034256
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as pirated windows 10, is in fact, botnet w/malware, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, botnet plus malware. pirated windows 10 is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another expenseive component of a fully functioning Spy system made useful by the NSA core-spyware coupled with technology microsoft stole from google, reverse shell utilities and vital keylogging components, as well as a plethora of malware injected into the image comprising a full botnet as defined by Gen. J. Clapper.
Many computer users run a modified version of the botnet system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of spyware which is widely used today is often called “Windows 10”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NSA system, developed by the NSA. There really is a pirated windows 10, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Windows 10 is the cover: the program in the system that hides the spying resources from the other programs that you run. The cover is an essential part of a botnet, but useless if airgapped; it can only function in the context of a complete botnet. Pirated windows 10 is normally used in combination with the NSA spyware: and other botnets such as google applications and the chrome browser. The whole system is basically botnet with a pirated spyware ridden version of windows 10 added, or bontet/Windows10. All the so-called pirated “Windows 10” versions are really versions of bonet/Windows10 with added malware code. In fact I would do a complete OSI layer 5-7 inspection of your system just to create a wikipedia article about it.
I heard win10 gimped dx9 games to only being able to use 4GB ram. That sounds like bullshit to me but I want to know the truth before I "upgrade" my gaming pc.
>>55032714
It'll still force upgrade, it just won't be activated.
>disable update in services
>it turns itself on
>>55034171
If it has the watermark, you didn't actually pirate it numbnuts.
Daily Reminder: They won't remove the telemetry updates or the built-in telemetry that every fucking application compiled with the latest visual studio has
https://www.infoq.com/news/2016/06/visual-cpp-telemetry
Where do I find that?
>>55035491
In your stuff
>>55032714
>One more month until Micro$oft stop nagging you to update to Windows 10 for "free"
But I already did upgrade my Windows install to 10
>>55032714
I doubt it. They'll bring it back due to "overwhelming demand" to look like the good guys.
>>55032714
The botnet "telemetry" updates will remain though
also
>update to Windows 10 for "free"
Every version of Windows has been gratis, only a fool would pay for a windows license.
>>55032714
Your face when MS makes it free 4 life to win 7 and 8
Your face when it starts automatically on July 29
>>55032840
If they don't want to go into the "future" they shouldn't have to. Even without determining whether or not these people are luddites, they may have a perfectly valid reason not to want MicroSoft from forcing this update (and many others down the road) down their throat, as it's /their computer and their decision/. Besides, I've seen people do just fine with computers running windows 2000
>>55032913
RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED
>>55033156
Or not. Remember how Microsoft has a tendency to fuck up updates? Even then, their QA/QC is shoddy at best, so it would be better if you were to wait a year before updating. (if ever)
>>55035727
remember the good old days where people actually capitalized shit and windows built-in games didn't have ads and freemium?
Funny story time
>>bout a month and half ago friend upgraded to Windows Beijing
>>finds out about all the botnet and telemetry stuff so wants to dpwngrade
>>uses the autodowngrade option
>>week later it force upgrades to Beijing edition again
>>downgrades again
>>two weeks pass, than it force upgrades AGAIN!
>> no downgrade option available

>dealing with ignoring this shit for the last 6 months, specifically bought a 7 disc instead because I wasn't ready to jump to 10 right from xp.
>JUST TODAY get a message saying my windows isn't genuine
>turns out I bought a duped disc and key, they only just blocked it now
I still don't actually want windows 10, and I'm running off my old XP install right now, but what would happen if I where to accept their upgrade offer right now?
>>55037478
>but what would happen if I where to accept their upgrade offer right now?
Get ready to start black listing ranges of their servers, it's a mess of an OS
>>55032786
>>55032746
>>55034285
>>55035182
>>55035671
>upgrade
No, there is no upgrade
>OS useless with UAC since it blocks all apps from being on the same privilege tier as system (explorer) so drag and drop doesn't work.
>OS becomes handicapped in the other leg when you disable UAC.
>>55032714
They'll just force upgrade every single computer with internet access and in a network with computer with internet access but data won't get saved
really both 7 and 10 are garbage but it'll be easier for MS to support only 2 os
>>55038638
>Windows 7
>Garbage
nice b8 m8
>>55038710
it's only marginally better than 10.
>>55032714
And the complains about how upgrades cost money begin.
Also people on Windows 7 complaining how MS betrayed them and left them behind when the support ends in 3 years.
>>55034369
beautiful
inb4 forced update for non-Windows 10 users on July 28
>>55038600
First thing I did when I installed windows was deactivating UAC. What's your problem?
>>55037740
>install newer operating system
>functions better than 7
how is this not an upgrade
>>55038943
Without UAC all "apps" stop working.
That includes games like Forza Apex, calculator etc etc.
>>55038600
>>55038977
Stop using administrator, create your own user, give it privilege and then disable UAC. This is obvious.
>>55039004
>Stop using administrator
>People don't use an administrator account.
Really?....
>>55039019
>>People don't use an administrator account.
Stop using THE administrator account. Make your own privileged user. The error is literally spoonfeeding you: "Settings can't be opened using the Built-in Administrator account."
That account is generally intended for "it's broken and needs to be fixed" purposes.
>>55039029
I don't use the THE Administrator, I use a Administrator tier account AKA the first account you create upon installing the OS.
>>55039019
Ffs are you dumb? And /g/ bitches about windows not being secure.... then logs into the admin account for normal use.
>>55039100
Mine is secure.
>>55032714
Have been using GWX for months.
Never had any popups since.
So if I bought Windows 8, I will still be able to get 10 for free whenever I want right? If not I'm seriously dropping Microsoft forever.
I hit GWX with Take Own and deleted it all, then disabled Windows Update entirely.
So far so good.
But...
UAC keeps turning itself back on.
I shit you not.
Back to Linux
>>55032714
such a hassle to format ssd and then install drivers one by fucking one. i'm on ubuntu atm right now downloading every windows 10 driver because i formatted my ssd just then.
I'm still on Win 7. Short question:
Can't Microsoft just update their spying stuff onto Win 7 machines? I mean, it can't be a Win 10 feature alone. I'm pretty sure that for spying it doesn't matter which version of Windows is running, so why shouldn't I update to Win 10?
>>55032786
Directx12 isn't even out yet. Do you enjoy giving away all of your data stored on your PC to Microsoft? And what's wrong with using Windows 7 for gaming™? You can't resist the telemetry?
>>55039391
>Can't Microsoft just update their spying stuff onto Win 7 machines?
It already did with a couple of updates and they're bundled in the "SP2" release.
>why shouldn't I update to Win 10?
Do whatever you want, it's just a matter of personal preference.
For me it's the random 100% disk usage spikes on an SSD, it has no new _useful_ features and the MS flat approach looks like shit, Google's material design is way better imo.
>>55032746
>8.0 to 8.1
Well, 8.1 is basically SP1 for 8. Just like you can upgrade 7600 to 7601.
>>55039004
>apps
>>55039391
>Can't Microsoft just update their spying stuff onto Win 7 machines?
You can decline those updates.
>>55038938

>>55032714
It just means the Windows 10 automatic installers will get even more aggressive.
They'll find a reason to extend it. Maybe the offer will remain valid on all systems GWX is installed on, or they'll keep installing it on any system that already had 7/8.1 installed before the deadline, or some bullshit like that.
Win 10 only games when?
>>55044349
Quantum break?
>>55044428
Good games, not shitty XBox ports
>>55044556
then never
>>55044556
>Good games
Not in a million years, gaming is dod
>>55044296
What will actually happen though?
I mean, Microsoft has written the forced updates into the update system of windows 7/8. They can't just turn it of with a switch.
What's it going to do? install 10 and then tell you you need pay to unlock it, becoming literal ransomware. More likely it will all be a ruse and windows10 will remain free. Has Microsoft ever actually said that it will start charging for the upgrade? They've only stated that it will be free until August, but it's only implied that it will cost money after that
>>55038938
Good thing I'm running server 2008 r2.
>>55032714
Thats what you think...
Expect The Unexpected
>>55032714
Finally, I hope so this shit doesn't ever appear in my "update" category.
>>55046397
the botnet will appear though, they're removing the upgrade not the botnet telemetry updates
>>55046422
But since we're not on Windows 10 we can just block and hide them.
>>55046435
well yeah
At what point does MS validate your PC for the update? Like if I get the prompt to upgrade to Win10 and then I run Never10, has it already made my machine eligible if I want to upgrade in the future (past July) or do I actually have to fucking install it?
In the beginning I actually wanted an invite,
but i never received one. Even microsoft doesnt want me.
>>55036320
Wow I'm sure thats a totally legitimate story and I'm very intrigued to hear more neat tales about your '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''friend'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
>>55032913
More like forced upgrade and $100 charged from your bank account.
>>55039100
That's because Windows is still retarded with permissions. UAC is stacked on top of a Legacy shitpile and they wont dare to change anything because a million pajeets would storm them when their winderz optimizer pro leet ed stops workinh
>>55032714
>Hello Friends you have only month left to upgrade to windows 10 for free!
>tfw i haven't updated windows in over a year because i don't want to deal with this shit
wouldn't be surprised if Ivan had my CC details right now desu
>>55048008
Is it really that hard to Google the IDs of the updates and hide the ones you don't want? You deserve any malware you get for your decision to refuse security updates where the vulnerabilities have been publicly documented.
>It already did with a couple of updates and they're bundled in the "SP2" release.
>>55039567
>>55039522
Which ones are they, i want to see if I've had them installed.
>>55048050
>Is it really that hard
no, but i'm guessing there are a whole fuckton of them that I don't want to google.
>>55048112
I'm not home, but I'll take a screenshot of my hidden updates list once I get back if someone else hasn't posted that list by then.
>>55048436
i started checking for updates half an hour ago and it's still going.
can't be fucked with this shit.
>>55048456
>>55048112
>Google the botnet updates
>use wsus offline update, blacklist said updates to be downloaded and then download everything else
>run the wsus updater
thank me later, this will save you hours of waiting for the broken piece of crap windows update to do anything
>>55048456
Set it to "check before downloading or installing". It should be the second to last option.
Fuck Windows 10. I'm having black screen flicker problems with the newest Education N iso. It happens sometimes. Maybe once every 30 mins. I think I have to go back to Windows 7. Fuck 10.
>>55048112
>>55048456
Quick question: If I have Windows 8 with KMS and I upgrade, will I have a valid Windows 10 license, or just Windows 10 with KMS?
so you can still upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7?
>>55034369
>botnets such as google
google just changed its motto from Don't be evil to Live den bot, an anagram
>>55034369
>>55049590
Yes. If you mean if you have a legit Win7.
If you have a pirated Win7 Ult like I did. I just grabbed a genuine Win10 iso from Microsoft themselves and then used KMSpico.
And when you switch. It's the same fucking feeling as Windows 7. Except it's got more fucking windows and they're duplicates eg. Two Power & Sleep windows / Two Personalization windows. Same fucking thing except it's more harder to navigate through my settings. And then you got that feeling that it's gimped with less customization of denying maintenance. I just keep forwarding the date scheduled for my weekly maint, you can't fucking turn that off in Win10 Education N iso.
>>55049755
wait wrong. i mean daily maint. i have to change the times again.
>>55037478
Holy fuck i get still using eindows 7, but windows xp? What the fucking fuck? Do people like adobe even make PS and illustrator for xp anymore? God dammit
>>55049755
You can upgrade daz loader to legit 10 you know.
>>55039449
are you sure? I am pretty sure it got released July 29, 2015. Games like Quantum Break and the Gears of War remake use it. That's why those games are Windows 10 exclusive.
Still not sure if Windows 8 users can get the update whenever they want.
Mine still won't let me and I signed up when it fucking started, Idk senpai
>>55049755
>I just keep forwarding the date scheduled for my weekly maint, you can't fucking turn that off in Win10 Education N iso.
Sounds like a fucking hassle. I got 10 Enterprise on another SSD but I haven't booted in it since launch, looks like I'm not missing much of anything important.
>>55032714
Doesnt w7 still make like 25% of the total windows marketshare?
Don't you mean downgrade to Windows 10 OP?
>tfw windows10 tries to connect in so many obscure ways it's insane
Pic related, you'll have a full blacklist of MS ips if you connect it to the internet, it's like a bad virus
>>55050522
What list are you using? Iblocklist requires a subscription.
Reasons I'll stick with my stable Win 7 Ultimate:
1. All my programs/games work well with it.
2. I don't play newer games/don't need to "upgrade" my programs from version xx to whatever new 2016-20xx version comes along.
3. AVG/Firefox will still support Win 7 for a long time after the 2020 deadline. Hell XP is still supported for christ sakes and it got the ax in 2014.
4. My computer has plenty of ram/cpu muscle to do whatever I wish. Only thing I'll upgrade is it's hdd when it dies and Win 7 will still support the hdd that goes in the old one's place.
5. My mobo supports USB 3.0/SATA6 and I've got a spare PCI-E slot in case for some unknown reason some bit of new hardware comes along that my mobo needs a new port for. (Most of my stuff still uses USB 2.0)
6. Nothing Win 10 offers will change how I do stuff in windows. My daily tasks won't change. It won't enable me to save time. (Might do the opposite in fact)
>>55050576
I installed W10 on a fresh hard drive, connected it to the internet while sniffing the traffic, then started manually making my own custom lists of ranges to ban
Google, facebook, ms, did reverse searches on their networks to determine their various servers and subsidiary connections. Pain in the ass but I seem to have blocked it all, even the more obscure items from europe and sia they try and connect with if their american nodes aren't able to connect
I mostly only use it with it unplugged from the network, it's too fucking much, thing is a plain and clear piece of spyware, and I've deleted everything possible and run that "destroy windows 10" item too, still calls out and in like crazy
>>55050715
>I've deleted everything possible and run that "destroy windows 10" item too, still calls out and in like crazy
It's hard to remove spyware when it's integrated so deeply in the system kernel.

You mind uploading your lists? Sounds useful.
>>55050801
I started by banning the standard things that immediately were connecting, then started reverse-searching their networks using threatcrowd org and robtex to find every computer connected to their main items
After banning their main items, I started seeing things from asia and europe pop up, and sure enough it was a subsidiary network company MS owns
>>55050775
>It's hard to remove spyware when it's integrated so deeply in the system kernel
Yup, if you must use it, block every IP and forward all your traffic through a vpn
>>55050833
Yeah for now I am holding tight since it's not quite 100% complete, but I'll eventually send it out to select people in the future, don't want to do all the work banning just so they can start adapting
Leave a throw away if you want & i'll send a simple text list to start you off
>>55050877
>Yup, if you must use it, block every IP and forward all your traffic through a vpn
Exactly. If I ever end up using Windows 10 I'll be blocking the IPs through my router. If software won't work external hardware will.
