Should I take the plunge?
>>
Yes you can revert back and keep the Win10 key if you wanna upgrade in the future
>>
>>55375883
If you don't before the 29th you will be taking the plunge up your ass.

seriously why would anyone using windows not want to use the newest version? all of them spy on you, all of them. period.

if you really cared about privacy you wouldn't be using any version of windows.

I don't give a fuck about privacy but windows 10 does kinda suck
>>
>>55375986
it's the best windows made to date, just install classic shell and stop being a little faggot.

you get virtual desktops, better window snapping, a notification center, p2p updates, cortana, and best of all it's not running a kernel from 7 fucking years ago..

click the mother fucking update button you god damn sperg.

Thank you, Pajeet. I knew that I could trust you. Could I talk to your boss? You deserve a promotion!

Please no, after updating to Windows 10 my HP laptop became a piece of shit. I have nothing open, and the cpu usage is at 100% due to HP and Windows Update BS, fails to boot sometimes because ntfs sucks, and is overall shit

I just wanted to torrent Louis' videos but I can't when the laptop is at 80c all the time. Just install Linux or Windows 7 or ANYTHING else.

No, just fucking NO. Spyware and telemetry aside, it's an ugly inconsistent mess that looks like literal shit compared to Windows 7 or even 2000. Do yourself a favor, uninstall and hide that nagware Microsoft calls an "update".

Better than windows 7 the only people saying not to upgrade are ludites. My networking professor refuses to upgrade because

except here windows 7 users have a reason not to upgrade
>>
>>55376278
Does it really fucking matter though? So what if Microsoft knows you jack off to gfur? The telemetry is so they can make windows 10 work better by sending bug reports etc. Don't listen to /g/

But you won't let your mailman open up your mail, and then go through your trash to see which mail you keep, and which one you throw out, so they could improve their delivery algorithms.

Why the double standard?

>>55376305
No dumbass there are many reasons windows 8.1 was better performing than windows 7. Windows 10 performance wise makes windows 7 feel like 98. If you refuse to upgrade to 10 because

If you use Windows mail client you are already retarded and deserve to have your shit sifted through.
Op just do it you won't regret it your old ass machine will have some new life breathed into it. Just make sure everything in your system has drivers for Windows 10 before you upgrade.

Not unless you have issues with your current system.

I'm only on it because it fixes the bug with my card that fucks up the refresh rate with multi-monitors in win7. Seriously, can't do anything in it without feeling sick.
>>
>>55375883
Yes, you should install Linux and never look back. Fuck Microsoft. I like gaymes, but I won't sacrifice privacy for it. Run Win 10 on a KVM using a corner of your drive where all the spying can stay contained.
>>
NO NO NO NO NO

It installed itself on my dad's laptop, holy shit it's bad

Wifi loses connection ALL THE TIME, where you can't even use the pc normally.

There are STILL programs/games that don't work on it (Bejeweled 3)

Waking from sleep now takes like 30sec, wtf is that

I admit, it wasn't clean install (AS IT INSTALLED ITSELF ON ITS OWN) and i may be wrong but holy shit it's really a struggle to use it

I won't even comment retarded UI

will that nagware on windows 7 telling me to get 10 stop bothering me at the end of the month?
