Windows 10 isnt really that bad if you able to remove those spy bloatwares.
In fact its better than Windows 7
how do I do that?

>AIDS isn't really that bad if you reduce the symptoms
>>332927642
I've experienced significantly more glitches from 10 than I have 7, mostly stemming from the taskbar.
I'm good. It won't stop spying on you, even after you think you've removed them.
My video card crapped out on me, so now I'm just going to find a decent, linux compatible card, delete windows, and never play video games again. New games are fucking garbage anyway.

>>332928231
I don't live in North Korea, and I live in a country which guarantees some measure of privacy. Therefore, Microshaft should not be spying on it's customers from my country.
The argument that you're using an operating system which spies on you, and you know it does, is invalid. Especially due to the market share of software Windows has. Microsoft has a responsibility, as the provider of the default operating system of the planet, to provide the best possible operating system, without violating human rights.
Someone please fucking help me my sister installed windows 10 on my 03's laptop and now is slower than ever, I don't have my windows 7 installatipn disc anymore and I dont know what the fuck do I do now to make it slow-fast again, not slow-shit

>>332928639
Microsoft isn't collecting only diagnostic data, you twit.
I don't care how good it is.
I don't care what you can and cannot turn off or diable.
I don't care how much better or worse people can spy on me with it.
I simply do not trust a free OS upgrade from a company that basically runs the entire modern world. It's as simple as that.
I'm not naive enough to think Microsoft isn't doing something shady somewhere, somehow, at some point in time with Windows 10 that they wouldn't fully disclose.
It being a free upgrade is a red flag. Everything else issues wise is irrelevant to me.
Will see in the next few years what happens, but it's not mandatory so I'm not doing it.
Enjoy your much better operating system that does absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever and is perfect in every way and also better than any previous installment apparently.
>>332928537
Download windows 7 from pirate bay. Download dot Net for activator. Put it all on flash stick. Reboot computer and install windows 7.
I've gone back to windows 8.1 with StartIsBack.
It's as fast as Windows 10 but without all the bloat.
>>332928639
Yeah but collecting data on websites visited, programs used, and keystrokes typed, all tied to your identity, for the purpose of advertisements and whatever else they feel like using it for (selling to the NSA) IS spying.
>>332928537
Google digital river w7 iso and compare the md5 hash with the ones on the /g/ wiki before and after you download it.
Well im using win 10 & i pirate every Games,Movies,Music,Porn i want and im still not getting arrested anon.
And i dont even use vpn
>>332928496
you're probably a shitter who only plays epic cs and mobas so of course you wouldn't know about it
Used to be on Win 10 for awhile. It was alright, but the spying part bothered me. Put Windows 7 back on and removed the telemetry updates, and put W10 on a separate drive with next to nothing installed solely for W10 games.
Honestly, with the way Windows is going I am seriously considering making my gaming PC solely for games alone and getting a separate PC and going Linux as my main driver. Too much bullshit.
>>332928537
How long ago was it? You're able to roll back the upgrade within the first 2 weeks.
>There are actual people who complain about botnets on a website that requires you to fill out a google captcha to post anything
>>332928729
It's the best introduction to linux, and it doesn't have botnet. Ubuntu simply checks for updates.

>>332928639

just ignore those paranoid anons. you can disable or force unistall those bloatwares anyway.
>>332928168
Shit 3d Zelda that forever ruined a marvelous franchise that should have stayed 2d...
FUCK OFF Microshills
Everyone knows the surveilance features can't be disabled, the OS prevents you from installing anything it doesn't want you to install and re-enables stuff like automatic updates on it's own.
You'll have no privacy, no consumer rights and no control over your own computer the moment that piece of shit is on it.
>>332927642
Windows has always been entirely bloatware
Has anyone upgraded to Win10 from a pirated Win 7?
>>332927642
You can't completely remove the botnet, Windows 10 is build upon it. You can, however, drastically reduce the amount of data collection on you by installing "Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSB" (Long-Term Serrvice Branch) edition.
It's pretty much stripped of 90% of the telemetry and it will not install updates, you'll be notified about updates available but won't force anything on you.
So install Win10 E N LTSB edition then follow the pastebin here to pretty much get the 'least' amount of data collection on you.

>>332929190
hi Microsoft,
I want in on shilling bucks, how's the pay?

I heard W10 takes extra precautions against pirating, how does that work?

You can turn off automatic updates in win 10 anon.

Shalom, JIDF.
>>332929502
Isnt that only on PRO or Enterprise?
>>332929432
There's actually a global coordination between video game publishers to combat piracy. They are all intentionally making their games uninteresting and shit so less people pirate their games.
>>332929274
won't Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSB forcefully install updates when they are like 8 months old?
So has anyone else had problems with really low fps after a few minutes of gaming on windows 10?
Tried fresh install of drivers, and nothing is overheating.
post the webms, you know which ones
>>332929356

You can type "windows 10 spying" into Google and recieve about ten trillion articles and tech websites confirming Winkike 10 being scummy as fuck.
It's insane how 4chan's mods let these obvious shills keep posting instead of fucking banning them.
Every day you can see threads about this shit and people going YES NOTHING WRONG WITH W10 NO SPYWARE UPDATE PLS IT'S FREE GUYS
>>332927642
I haven't upgraded on my main computer from Windows 7 because I want to make sure I have enough time to re-install everything properly. I like the "just reformatted fresh install feel" but then hate when I realize how hard somethings are to install again, obscure cracking for like the Adobe CS5 suite
>>332929546
You know, that doesnt even seem that weird anymore
>>332929479
I have uninstalled, Onedrive, Xbox, WinStore, Windows Defender, & Cortana in my windows 10.
Feels good man.
>>332929502
you can't you fucking retard
>>332929432
It doesn't exactly, rather, games and apps sold on the Windows 10 store are all sandboxed so the user can't modify them.
This also breaks overlays and post-effect injectors since they don't have an executable to hook into.
>>332927642
in fact, it's not.

Windows Defender is preventing to play pirated games in windows 10.
all you only do is uninstall windows defender

I mean i'm using a PC
Not a fucking tablet or phone
>>332929759
Yeah, and then you get an unavoidable automatic update that reinstalls it and patches out any workarounds.
Windows 10 literally bypasses your hosts-file to send your personal data home. It's hardcoded to be a worse security risk than viruses. It should tell you more than enough what kind of shit you're getting into when Microshill is sneaking in the spyware features into 7 and 8 updates without telling to anyone when it looks like people aren't "upgrading".
I have 2 pc's
1 old with 7 i use for practically everything but games
1 with 10 i use only and only for Steam

>>332930449
Nope. its already one year already & my automatic updates still only notify to download only ( once again, i can turn off the auto updates completely )
>>332930361
And they'll just turn it back on later without asking your permission. You can't disable or pick your updates on W10, Microsoft will just shove their aids-ridden malware cock down your throat whenever they feel like it.
>>332927642
Rajid please
>>332929274
Thanks for the advice already downloaded it on my seedbox. However I'm still waiting for the Xbone arcarde sticks to be supported on win10 before I get rid of win7. If I install this version of Win10 now will I be able to get the xbone controller driver update as soon as its deployed?
>>332927642
Its been shown even after removing the spyware and the shit that monitors you, It still fucking monitors you somehow.
Fuck no. Sticking with 7
>>332928521
They really don't. MS is a buissnes, and they should be allowed to collect any information information related to their products as they want. We should vote with out wallets, not with legislations.
Now what they shouldn't be able to do is give any of their information to the goverment, that is bullshit since a goverment shouldn't be too dependent on commercial ventures to function.
And I'm saying this as someone who hates Windows and their total disregard for privacy and their customers, and is posting this from Linux.
Windows 10 collecting data on you is not a big deal, unlessyou have something to hide, anon :^)
Any legit activator out there for the Enterprise LTSB edition without a shitton of malware?

Not him, but anon, what other fucking OS is out there that can play games and doesn't spy on you is out there so we can pay with our wallets?
That's right, fucking none. I want to play games, Im forced to have my shit become public, even if I don't have anything illegal or embarrassing, its still a violation of my fucking basic and universal rights because of making more money, nevermind the impact of the fucking action, its the mentality from which it was devised that matters.
Businesses abide by the fucking basic rights of humans, why the fuck doesn't Microsoft when it comes to fucking privacy.

Wallets are not a good way to vote, given the current situation. That's like voting for socialized health care by getting everyone to shoot themselves in the foot.
Windows has most of the software available on it. This is especially true in games, where MS has been the dominant platform for more than twenty years. We should be able to use legislation to control what Microsoft can and cannot do.
I totally agree that they should not be giving up any information to the government.
I'm posting from my windows boot right now, but I've got a dual boot with Ubuntu and I use that on my work days. It runs quicker and I've got a good desktop information overlay with it.

Digital River's dead, bro
Spying completely aside because I know Windows 8 is spying on me anyway (and 7 for that matter), 10 is just garbage. I use it at work and 8 looks and functions better. They really fucked up bad splitting out settings for things half in the Settings app and half in the Control Panel. The whole thing is just a big clusterfuck. I also prefer to forget I'm using a piece of shit Windows operating system at times, so having Cortana right there in the task bar is the opposite of what I want.
>>332931068
>MS is a buissnes, and they should be allowed to collect any information information related to their products as they want.
Do you tell gas stations where you're driving after you fill up your car? Do you tell grocery stores exactly what you'll be doing with all the stuff you buy from them?
Why on earth would you ever be okay with Microsoft looking at your keystrokes and browsing history, without even asking your permission first?
>>332932742
>without even asking your permission first?
But they do ask permission. But I guess if you opt out they do it anyway so... eh.
>>332929560
>won't Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSB forcefully install updates when they are like 8 months old?
It will, but within the pastebin i provided you have a method of disabling that. Which will only allow for manual installations. Or at least theoretically.
Can I pirate windows 10 pro and still use the windows store? I want to play Quantum Break.
https://youtu.be/RL6h5_miB_M
>>332933035
I may be blind but I can't find an actual source to download Win 10 LTSB in your pastebin. Do I just search general torrent sites or what would you recommend?
>>332931762
Again. We should vote with out wallets. Don't want games on a shitty system? Don't buy them, and make sure they know why you don't buy them.
Helping collecting data does help a businesses decide how to better their products, even if it's often being used for nefarious purposes, what I would push for is them not having a chance to spread that data outside their company rather than outright banning it.
Just because us few doesn't like where the current market trend is or is heading doesn't mean we should legislate it.
>>332932027
That's because people have already voted, and they voted in favor of their information for the product.
We should try to inform people, show them that they shouldn't stand for this. Not pass a low for every little thing we don't like.
>>332932742
I don't, and if they did I wouldn't shop there. Simple as that, we don't need a law to tell them to not do it. All we need is a law that stops them from divulging any of that information to other parties, namely the government.
>Why on earth would you ever be okay with Microsoft looking at your keystrokes and browsing history, without even asking your permission first?
I'm not, which is why I'm using Linux most of the time.
And they did ask permission.
>>332927642
Sorry but no.

Nigger, its data collecting. Its a inherent breaking of one of the most basic human rights, and they break it for cash. Be it for advertisement or just selling it to governments/shady as fuck companies, its still fucking wrong by default. Why do you defend a company compromised of adult individuals anon. They know what they are doing, and they have though about it, planned it, and executed it. There is no good side to this, or are you the kind of person who bitched when basic customer rights forced valve to do refunds.
There is no voting with our wallets in this current age you stubborn dolt. Anyone that has though about it for a whjile and has seen how shit is managed knows this, if shit doesn't sell, they will just make it worse and worse untill it sells or makes money, one way or the other.
