>>333798721
I am sick of this argument. Do you ignorant fucks seriously think your shit is not subject to "sharing" just because you are on an older version of windows? It blows my mind that people think that way. ANY executable you download and any service that makes you "agree to service terms" WILL record usage data.

Go to bed grandma.
I thought every other version of windows was supposed to be good. If 7 was good and 8 was bad, why was 10 bad? Because they skipped 9?

Because "monitoring".
Even though it takes maybe 10 minutes to remove all of it.
My main rig runs 10
My school laptop runs 7
My netbook runs 10
My old, near-dead gaming laptop runs 7
Mywife'slaptop runs 8.1
I have an official OEM version of Win7 if I ever feel the need to go backwards from 10.
You're naive if you think that companies like Microsoft, Google, or even the Feds give a shit about your "privacy settings". If they want your information, they'll have it with little to no effort.

Niggers, every single thing you even use can be used to keep tabs on you, even outside in the big world there are cameras everywhere.
Enjoy.
That said, win 10 is garbage. Still might get it just for killer instinct alone on a pure gaming rig so i can all they'll gather is stupid bullshit.
>>333798640
>market flooded with indie/retro bullshit

What fucking games are using 12?
>>333805219
How does one gather data from a source when all communications with that source are blocked?
>>333805219
If it's a third party firewall and the surveillance is not built into the OS proper, it's just preventing processes from connecting to the internet. Also, you have to do all the other things I mentioned or it's worthless, of course.
In any case, stick to commenting on things you can actually understand, like angry birds.
>2016
>still falling for the 'windows 10 is bad hurr durr ' meme
its faster than 8.1, which was already faster than 7. I hope newer games will be solely available for windows 10 so you guys get fucking cancer and stop playing video games overall.

I really got upset writing this post. I doubt trading all of that is worth the DX12 which is probably just an increment in version. Fucking developers won't even use it until end of its lifespan just like DX10 and DX11

Pretty much, yes. But keep using win 10 by all means. It was intended for people like you in the first place.
i "upgraded" to activate my key before the deadline this summer and then went right back to 7. might have to commit to 10 when dude sex comes out in august for dx12 and possibly dishonored 2 (if it even comes out this year)

You can but not on the OS level, you have to do it on the router level. No amount of third party programs or "hacks" will do anything on the OS level since many (if not all) of the telemetry IPs are hard coded into various DLLs.
>>333806957

>>333806879
Are you honestly believing 7 cannot do the same?
Are you so tech illiterate to think a third party program works one way but doesn't the other?
Microsoft has been working with the NSA since the fucking XP, you tinfoil retard
>>333807058
Explain further.
I'm using W7 until my harddrive dies. Only then I'll consider Windows 10 as I assume it's a "slimmer" OS.
Only question I have is if Windows 10 fucks up compatibility with games from XP/Vista/7 era that work on 7/8?

yes. this happens with windows over time. even windows 7 has some issues with old games meant to run on xp. this is what re-purposing your old hardware is for; legacy machines. unless you actually throw away your old hardware, which i hope you don't.
>>333802953
>gaming laptop

>>333807094
There is factual evidence win 10 does it. You can actually go and decrypt the files MS sends and find there are pics of your desktom bundled on them. But there is none that I am aware of files sent if you do what I tell to win 7. You only need to monitor your traffic to see if any info is being set without your permisson.
Yet you go for the 'there is nothing you can do either way, might as well give what they want you deluded fool'. You are fucking pathetic
>>333798721
you do know Microsoft added their spyware in Win7 also?

Does anyone have any sources for the spy shit apparently in windows 10? Or how to minimize it if you do upgrade?
I'm debating on upgrading, but am unsure if it affects me really. I mostly emulate old games or pirate indies before purchasing them, as well as the occasional torrenting of movies. Should I do it?
>>333807236

>>333807701
>news
Yea, like the panama papers or relevant wiki leaks stuff. Even if you can go and actually take a peak if you know where to look, but media outlets wont raise awareness about it.
Why would they? NSA and major players want you to trust MS.
>>333805049
This actually has a whole folder in Windows\System32\GWX. If you can figure out how to give yourself permissions to delete the folder, since even Tadmins normally can't delete it, you're set. You can delete it with no fuckups.
>>333807924
You do know that when you are willing to spend more than 1800$ you actually get a laptop that can run newer games on high to very high settings? It's still stupid to spend so much money, but its not 2012 anymore.
>>333807961
There are some settings you can disable and you can use tools. Also, there is a tool called "Do not spy 10" which works, but it has the open candy software in it.
I'm sort of tempted to upgrade to W10 for Killer Instinct
Send help
>>333798332
> tfw still dual booting XP and Win7
>>333808167
While I enjoy using 10, Killer Instinct is not running properly. Its physics are bound to the fps, which makes the game twice as fast for me.

I would advise against it. Whatever you're running now likely performs better, and that's without factoring in any spyware.
>>333805956
>faster
the only reason i still run windows 7 is because there is literally no reason to upgrade video games wise and its the only thing that maters.
also fuck all this app shit trying to turn pcs into tablets its just annoys me personally.
>>333808141
You just need to kill the process, take ownership of the files, then give yourself admin total control permission and delete the shit out of it.
Guys, here are some commands to disable the win 10 spying.

I tried installing linux to another partition for dual-boot, but it didn't work and I couldn't figure out why.

Windows 8 won't let you. Heck, I had to go through a lot of work to just run tails from a USB stick. And I can't for the life of me get it to boot from DVD. Yet in my win 7 desktop I had not the slightest problem to do so.
>>333814025
I'm not surprised, my old computer let me put linux on it (it was dying and the windows installation kept crashing constantly)
