Should I just get Windows 10 or is it better to stay on Windows 7 forever?

Tbh. I was really worried about 10. I clean installed and found it to be better than 7. I'm not too worried about "Spyware" since 7 isn't any better in that regard. I am legitimately enjoying 10. Though sticking with 7 might be the preferred for others and that's fine if you're not a gaymer (a bunch windows 10 exclusives soon).

Do you remember back in the day when you would get a virus on your computer that would have a bunch of pop up advertisements on your desktop? Basically, Microsoft went ahead and just integrated that into windows 10. It's in everything. Microsoft Edge. Start Menu, Start Search, Start Page, everywhere.

please take your FUD somewhere else

STALKER Call of Pripyat does not work at all on 10 and BL2 is fucked. Nice gaming OS you've got there..
>>55281587
>7 isn't any better in that regard
False

you can remove all that crap with in 5 minutes.
>>55281525
windows 10 is a great os, its not my daily driver but it lives on my desktop.
hello fellow tech enthusiasts!1
how long usually to take you're handler to pay you're money for advertise?
>>55281611
This post is so late to the party. Ubuntu did it before anyone else.

None.

I tried it. It accepts inputs only for 3-4 seconds then nothing (though the circle on cursor is still moving). Minimise it, maximise it, and again 3-4 seconds of usability then none.
>>55281715
I'm rather curious as to why non-US citizens would give a fuck about it.
>>55281772
Someone at the NSA is jerking off to your pictures, I'm just saying. If you're comfortable with this thought then good for you. I would not.
>>55281772
Because enough "metadata" gets people drone striked.
>>55281525
I'm on windows 10 right now. I can feel my leukocytes dying one by one.
>>55281772
maybe the spying only matters when you live in a country where the currency is not poopies?
>>55281802
>We kill people based on metadata.
These people must be destroyed.
I would rather pay to get a cd copy in a while when all the compatibility issues are sorted, just as I have always done before
>>55282014
I came here to be redpilled on W10 before June 29th hit and your comment is pretty much exactly how I feel. So what reason is there to willingly accept W10 onto my bosom right now? Saving a minute amount of money a year or two into the future is hardly a convincing reason.
>>55281666

where's the /g/uide for this?
>>55282149
Windows 10 LTSB. STill shit but comes with less crap than standard editions.
>>55281587
>since 7 isn't any better in that regard
Telemetry is turned off by default and related updates can be removed. Prove me wrong.
>>55281525
Stay on Windows 7. Better yet, reinstall Windows 7 and 8 and this time do it with selective updating so that you aren't installing the win10shit too.
Windows 10 is complete garbage, you can't turn off all the botnet (which I don't particularly care about) but it always breaks after time using it in one way or another, it's bloated as shit, the WiFi latency I get is always shit on the machines I've tried windows 10 on because of the constant microshill communications it does - that is the only way the botnet shit negatively affects me.
Win7/8 without win10 and telemetry updates is 10x cleaner, runs much better and doesn't break if you aren't stupid. Unless you don't play games, then just get Linux.
>>55281772
What's stops them at US?
>>55281796
>someone is jerking off while seeing my photos
It's free for a reason. They even admit offering it to known pirated unactivated versions. If you can't see why they would do that, go ahead, "up"grade, you deserve to be together
Anyone using Windows 10 IoT Core?
as a daily driver?
>>55282174
you realize that Win 7, OSX and all popular distros are just as much of a botnet right?
this is the era of datamining, you can't escape
>>55282239
>this is the era of datamining, you can't escape
Yes you can
>>55282239
>Win 7 and all popular distros are just as much of a botnet
False
>>55282239
>Win 7
Nope
>>55282239
>Win 7, OSX
no
>all popular distros
yes
>>55282239
Can you read? Selective updating
As a sys admin that's had this main PC on Windows 7 for 2 years, downloading necessary updates.. Never had a virus on it.. Not once have I seen any connections or data being sent between places that shouldn't be
>>55282258
>>55282254
God you are completely fuckin retarded. Kill it before it lays eggs.
>>55282300
You really suck at your job
>>55282014
Are there really a lot of compatibility issues?
I have a bunch of games + over 5 years old semi-obscure hardware-related software etc. running on Win10 rather smoothly. The machine in question is pretty old itself too
>>55282300
Can you even read what you type
The addition of that basic bitch normie phrase at the end just shows how much of a nipple you are. ><reddit><
Anyone running Windows 10 Education? It's supposed to be just Enterprise LTSB right?
>>55281611
>gee, bill, TWO control panels?
Bill Gates isn't even working there anymore.
>>55282568
it's an oldfag meme, the name bill is just a coincidence
>>55281525
Go for Loonix.
I installed win10, everything was fine until the latest update that literally prevents me from setting anything but Explorer or Edge or some shitty $10 pajeet-made browser as my default browser.
>>55281666
how do i debloat windows 10? how do i get my start menu like that?
>>55282673
You can't. Classic shell
>>55282673
>>55282714
You can. Right click all of the panels on the right individually and remove them. Once there's no tiles left, close and open the menu, boom.
>>55282673
Go to https://gentoo.org/downloads/,
then follow one of this guides: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page.
You should also delete your Windows partition. Good luck
For some reason i'm getting a black screen after it gets to 100%. Anyone knows how to fix this?
I actually have a parallels install of 7, 8.1 pro, and 10 set up for the sole use of visual studio. just installed 10, and i'm in the honeymoon period now. how do i make this feel last forever, brehs?
>>55282811
i should note that my windows 7 install takes 20gb, after i debloated it, my 8.1 install takes 14gb, but my windows 10 takes only 11gb. who would have thought?
i'm on an SSD, so i care about space a little
>>55282737
>remove shortcuts from menu
>debloating
Wow
>>55281587
Kill yourself.
>>55283205
Obviously I was answering the second question
Where can I get an Enterprise and/or Education version of Windows 10?
I did all the anti-spy shit on a Pro install, but I'm sure it's all in vein.
>>55281666
>you can remove all that crap with in 5 minutes.
And the next update will just reinstall all of it and you'll have to do it again (along with uninstalling some of your programs and resetting defaults)
should i get win 10 for gaming ?
i was at win 10 few months ago but i went back to 8.1 after it did a forced update
>>55284246
7 or 8 with selective updates.
>>55282673
What do you mean by "bloated" all the pre-installed windows programs are removable with one line in powershell. You can disable Cortina via registry edits.
