>Windows 10 will now install on your PC whether you want it or not
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/microsoft-criticised-over-deceitful-windows-10-upgrade-a7047466.html
Microsoft is going all out. They need you to buy.. sorry, be their product.
Why are you trying to resist, /v/? Just get with the times already!
You don't really care about all those old games that'll no longer work anyway, right? And surely you want to buy the new Forza and Quantum Break from the Windows 10 store?
>And surely you want to buy the new Forza and Quantum Break from the Windows 10 store?
Yes

I've seen this same thread like a year ago
google aegis voat, dummy
>>338930940
I find that hard to believe considering they literally just pushed this new update that makes you still install it even when clicking it away with the X days ago
Even dumb plebs don't want to upgrade to Win10
What's your excuse?
>>338930968
Again literally the same shit that I have heard before.
>>338931035
How have you heard about it before considering it hasn't existed until a few days ago?

windows 10 isn't even bad, faggots that don't like change just want to bitch about something
>>338931025
it's better than 8, but not better than 7and it was the easiest version of the 3 to pirate
>>338931304
What's good about it?
>>338931065
I'm saying it existed before a few days ago.
Admittedly that X thing is new to me. Or at least I have seen yesterday.
>>338931319
>and it was the easiest version of the 3 to pirate
How so? All you have to do to pirate Win7 is just grab the clean ISO and the Loader and you're done.
>>338930830
I upgraded to 10 on release, havent had a compatibility issue with my graphics drivers or games since.
only reason not to is if you're afraid of data miners, but if you think they aren't already doing that on 7...
>that guy who thinks using the privacy options in the control panel of W10 actually stops it from spying on you and uploading all your data
W10 is so infested with spyware and has these functions so deep in it, you can never remove it all in any way.
>>338931304
'isn't even bad" is not a very good reason to upgrade
There's literally no reason for anyone to upgrade.You'd have to offer people something for them to even bother to consider it let alone to go through it.
>Windows 10 automatically schedules a upgrade
>Click here to change the schedule or cancel it entirely
>Press X instead which doesn't cancel it at all
Are PC gamers so dumb that they can't fucking read a confirmation box?
>>338931319
no its better than 7 too
>>338931330
>>338931469
enjoy not playing exclusives :)
this happened to me. went out for the whole day came back and it was already windows 10. was pissed as fuck. not sure why they think its a good idea to just fuck up peoples settings and make them reconfigure their entire shit when its not even a huge upgrade. matter of fact, i started encountering some annoying bugs that ive never had in 8.1 like some of my apps hanging and shit. just thinking about this shit pisses me off
>>338931304
this in no way justifies microsoft forcing people to use a product they don't want.
>>338931439
I take it you only play new games.
As for "only reason not to upgrade", can you give me a reason to upgrade?
What do I gain by upgrading? Nothing I play uses dx12 and I don't need Cortana to help me organize my schedule.
>leaving auto-updates on
Heh
>>338931496
>exclusives
Shit.
Even Halo 2 had more merit. Fucking Halo. 2. To PC gamers that series is a fucking joke.
>>338931535
No one is forcing you to use their OS you dumb normie
Delete their KB updates or actually cancel the update instead of hitting X on the window.
>>338931496
I'm all ears. If you can tell me of even one W10 exclusive game that I want to play, that'd be swell.
I have windows 10 on my laptop, and it doesn't seem to bad. Does anyone have experience with it? Has it actually stopped anyone from pirating?
Also if I get the education version from my college, does that give me the "pro" features that allow you to turn off stuff?
Oh! /v/ says windows 10 is evil, i shouldn't install it then, after all /v/ still has the smartest and most intelligent users on the internet and they really know their stuff!
Thanks /v/.
>>338931330
Not him but the UI is much sleeker than their past work. That being said I can't comment on compatibility since I hardly play vidya anymore.
I sometimes consider switching to Gentoo since all I'd want access to is a doom port.
>>338931654
You don't notice the worst parts of W10. They run in the background.
Anyway
>laptop
so, what actually happens when august hits and its not free anymore?
they cant bloody well force it on you then
does win7 just stop working or what?
>>338931479
>Changes the function of 'X' so it does the opposite of what everyone expects it to do
>But it's the people who are dumb.
Yeah, literally everyone who didn't read another annoying pop up, or was away from their machine for a couple of minutes MUST be stupid.
>>338931654
I run pirated photoshop just fine. Can't speak for games.
>pirated win 7 yet it's still fine to update
fuck off, i'm keeping win 7
>>338930830
Some have said that when they turn on their computers they already have windows 10 out of nowhere
>>338931674
Who the fuck cares about aesthetics? I prioritize function over aesthetics, so I have no reason to go to Windows 10. I'm fine with Win7.
>>338931736
W7 is supported until 2020. After that it just won't get security updates, bug fixes etc. anymore.
Until I see a damn good reason to switch to Windows 10, especially now with Vulkan taking over and fighting DX12, I don't think there's any point in moving away from my w7 ultimate
tfw I don't want Windows 10 but I do want DX12
>>338931479
Most PC gamers these days are former dumb consolefags, no surprise.
>>338931657
It's not about if you should install it or not, it's about Microsoft basically trying to sneak it onto your shit whether you want it or not.
>>338931654
i've had it since it was released.
quite honestly, it's the same shit, there's nothing better or worse about it compated to 7.
unless you like to try new stuff or plan on playing any DX12 games there's no reason for an upgrade.
i only did it to see what it was like and quite honestly i haven't installed 7 again because it's not worth the effort, it's all the same shit, different name.
pirated games work exactly the same, and the spying shit is the same as it was on W7, now it's just more obvious and in your face, but you can literally remove any ads from the start menu with a right click. and just use it for shortcuts instead.
>>338931657
I trust /v/ over anyone really at this point.
>>338931727
I have a laptop and a Desktop,
I was talking about upgrading my desktop or not. Sorry about the confusion.

"No one is forcing you to use their OS you dumb normie
Just write an heuristic anti-virus like application that is able to detect when the update use polymorphism to hide itself again but be sure to kill the rootkit installed on the bios and MBR first to be able to even see the files"
>>338931852
You can't blame people for this.
Hitting the red X is such a classic, tried and true concept of any Windows OS in history. Why wouldn't people expect hitting it closes this?
You know who makes the X actually start the install process or something else? Malware devs do that.
>>338931896
Why aren't you playing Overwatch the GOTY right now
>>338931540
>What do I gain by upgrading?
It has better RAM optimisation than W8 on my laptop. Thats about it. I can now watch youtube videos at 1080p 60fps, and twitch only crashes about half the time it used to.
The interface is much more annoying and invasive, loud pop ups everywhere and they're trying their hardest to hide the control panel. Not really worth the upgrade at all, not that I wanted it in the first place.
>remove the notorious updates last year
>disable windows update
>no problems since
m$ can suck my cock
>>338931396
i'm dumb as bricks so i got the "unverified" thing on win7, then my friend comes over, spergs over the watermark in the corner and bricks my PC.
He then stays the night and spends the evening and morning fixing it, we eventually resort to just grabbing win10 and it was by far the easiest
(can't say I ever tried to pirate win8 though)
>>338931861
>trying to sneak
everyone should have the same OS, standard software is a good thing, everyone having different versions of the same OS just means software developers have to deal with all kinds of stupid shit "B-BUT MUH DIRECTX 12 GAME DOESNT WORK IN WINDOWS 98!!!"
idiots
>>338930830
>Why are you trying to resist
I'm not, I simply choose to play on my PS4 instead now. If devs want to make games W10 exclusive then they won't be getting my money.
>all that dystopian literature came true
>we now live in an era where corporations aggressively push their product on you and you must buy it
For anyone worried by the way, use https://www.grc.com/never10.htm
Literally a one click solution. And if you ever change your mind, one more click enables anything W10 upgrade related again.
I started blocking every non-mandatory upgrade ages ago, and never had this problem.
>>338931896
good goy
>>338931952
If you actually fucking read the window, it says that the update is already scheduled and ready to deploy unless you click specifically here to cancel it.

lol my mum rang me up yesterday and was freaking out over her laptop suddenly installing Win10, when she was SURE she clicked away the prompt thing and didn't click install.
Thanks for making mum think she's getting brain problems, Microsoft!
>>338931952
Havent ever seen that from people who make malware. Most the time they play you into pressing that install button by using psychological attacks.
>>338931852
Does clicking [here] actually allow you to cancel it, or is Microsoft just tricking you with the second option too?
Meh windows 10 isn't bad but i have noticed my PC isn't as snappy as it was before but maybe thats all the porn i watch.
>>338932043
Sure, that's basically what consoles are all about. They are easy to develop for because the devs know everyone out there has the exact same specs (well, I guess the PS4.5 will end that).
I'd be okay with Windows 10 if it wasn't filled to the brim with spyware, making me the product. You can't even turn it off. If you think the privacy options actually stop all the shit from running you're very naive.
>>338932043
Yeah and everyone should use same CMS to make websites.
One mistake to control them all.
>>338932219
It allows you to cancel the update or reschedule it
But of course dumb normies skip over all the text and just click for the giant red X button expecting it to take care of it for them
>>338932130
still pop-up tier fuckery man. some people literally dont use their computers every day and dont have time to think of this bullshit. then they turn on their shit and its all fucked? "oh look we're helping :^)" you cant justify this shit its horrible
>>338932051
>making games DX12 only on a free OS is evil
>making games for a new console that actually costs money is not

Which of the buttons in your picture says "No thanks, I don't want Windows 10"?
>>338932043
>everyone should have the same OS
Even if true I don't see how that's a good point in favor of Microsoft being the curator of that OS given their unethical behavior and the abusive ways in which they treat their customers.

>>338932138

so microsoft forces windows 10 on linux as well?
>>338932130
Most people don't bother, it's like those term of use things, you get so used to them you don't even try to read them anymorebecause they aren't legally binding anyways
>>338932354
You realize why W10 is free, right?
It's because W10 isn't what they are selling. You are.
>have bought windows

Shut up, Robert Kongman.
>>338932342
These people have also been getting a pop up WIndow that looks basically the same for about a year and have just been X'ing out of it. Hitting the Red X and having it do anything besides close the Window you are looking at is shady, especially for the company who invented it.
>>338932363

No one gives a shit. If people want to use 7/8 instead of 10 they should be able too, criminal or not.

windows 10 is slow and full of spyware. I'm sticking with 7
Reminder that when you installed Windows, you read and accepted their software license terms which allow them to do this. Just sayin'.
>>338932380

that's plenty of time.
I personally have updates turned off and my system is fine. Don't even have an antivirus.

It's natural selection. If you are too stupid to read you should not be allowed on a computer that isn't fully updated.
It's like those retards who never update their Flash player and then complain when they have malware on their system. At some point Adobe just made Flash updates automatic for this very reason.
>>338932587

>>338931603
>normie
nigga, plz.
the salient issue is that if microsoft COULD force you to use win 10, they'd do it in a heartbeat. they can't legally do it, so they change the universal "x to cancel" to "x to hide this window" for this one instance.
like if your silly ass was playing normieball and kicked the ball into the goal thinking you'd score a point and the referee says "no, the rules are that if you kick the ball into the goal, you instantly lose. we just recently changed the rules. sorry you didn't get the memo."

It's fine if you like it eating your machine's resources and also having ads shoved down your throat by putting them in the start menu or bing search replacing the standard search.
Also the wonderful UI with covering 2 shades of white.
It's not about the pirating you retard.
>>338932706
it's just shill speak
>>338932107
You should just turn off windows update, anon. They'll make it mandatory, if they haven't already done so.
>>338932308
>I read all the text in a Window that's been popping up every other day for over a year, especially at Work.
I'm sure you also read all the legal notices in their entirety before clicking 'I AGREE'.
>pirate windows 7
>updates off
>never had Win10 attempt its bullshit
>>338932553
I tried to make the damn thing go away by using a really fucking complicated guide some time ago. It took two hours and didn't even fucking work in the end because I probably missed one of the KBs or something in the register, and the damn thing rebuilt itself.
Bless aegis voat. That thing also still takes like half an hour to root it out, because it's so deeply ingrained in the system.
>>338932354
>"Free" OS
>free
Except for the part where it's not actually free unless you're in China and you get an obnoxious watermark for having a copy that isn't genuine until you buy it.
DX12 is literally the only reason to even look at Windows 10 and I've yet to hear of a game using it that
>I can play right now
>I actually want to play
>>338931896

>>338932723

Here I hope Vulkan take off so DX12 become limited to microsoft studio shit only
It doesn't even want to install on my mom's laptop, it keeps failing with an APPLY_IMAGE error or something when it gets to the main installation screen with the circle that fills up.
Nobody expects the Windows Installation!
Fuck Win10 for last fuck there is to give.
It will eat your RAM and CPU power for no fucking reason.
And the only fix there is to it is 1) update drivers 2) remove malware 3) disable runtime broker.
Oh but that doesn't fix it. I've done it all and still see that shit sometimes eat up to 8gb RAM.
8GB RAM eaten into NOTHING!
FUCK Win10. Don't get it. Worst shit.Right now it's eating 3.4-4% of my 3.6ghz cpu and 400mb
>>338932680
>universal "x to cancel" to "x to hide this window"
Are you dumb? The window says specifically that the update is already scheduled and will continue if you close the window unless you specifically click "here" to cancel.
Pressing X never automatically cancels anything. If I press X on steam or Gog Galaxy while it downloads something, it's going to continue downloading in the background. Only way to cancel it is if you specifically tell it to stop downloading. But for some reason dumbasses can't read clearly stated English text.
just keep your computer off until July 30th and you're good
>>338932959
Vulkan is better than DX12 anyway, so it's really just better all around. Read many good news concerning it lately so I'm optimistic that Vulkan has a good chance.
>That feel when Windows 10 will probably cause you to lose your job
>I might even be sued and/or face legal consequences and even prison time because of it
Fucking Microsoft sure like making my life hard.
>>338932984
this thread makes me understand that most of windows 10 hate is based on internet fads.
windows 7 and 10 are the same when it comes to spyware, even websites are full of spyware, google does it on your phones, so does apple.
but windows 10 is the new cool thing to hate because of spyware.
discussing technology in /v/ is like reading youtube comments.

But that's wrong. W7 is not "the same" as W10 when it comes to spyware.
Just stop, Bill.
>>338932834
>i don't know how to pirate windows
all your opinions are now irrelevant because you're obviously a fucking moron.
>>338933041
A lot of hate comes from the fact that people don't like being forced to change something they (potentially) paid for.
I'm happy with windows 7, I have it set to my exact specifications and everything is to my liking. What I don't want is MS trying to force something else on me that I don't want.
>>338933024
Uh huh, and Windows 10 literally killed my baby.
You luddites are hilarious, when they release the next OS we're going to have the exact same shit. "Don't upgrade to Windows Dozen! Stick with 10!"

what? you never used DX10? We know
>>338933019
just disconnect from internet.
I don't get what's so bad about Windows 10. Everything just works like Windows 7 and it even uses less memory and boots up faster.
>>338933041
Except that is not true and there is quantifiable evidence of Windows 10 being far more loose in terms of security, telemetry and datamining. If you think the backdoors microsoft left in 7 were bad, you know fucking nothing about 10. And no, just because 7 had and has those holes doesn't magically make what 10 is doing okay. And with logic like that might as well not live, you're gonna die anyway, amrite?
>>338933151
If I was a moron I'd have Windows 10 installed. Enjoy your bloatware OS.

Read the post below you. It's bloated with spyware you can't do anything about.
>>338933258
b-b-b-b-b-but spyware!
>>338933175
That depends on what they are doing with it. If it is more like Windows 7 (UI), doesn't spy on me and make me a product, hog resources than I would gladly upgrade.
>>338933041
Again, it's not about the software itself, it's about Microsoft basically trying to trick you into upgrading to it whether you want to or not.
HURR DURR DIDN'T YOU READ MY EARLIER POST IT WAS RIGHT THERE GOD YOU MUST BE STUPID

Yep. Totally makes me trust them not to kill my baby.
Here, have a laugh. Remember to point at shills and laugh at them whenever you spot them.
>>338933275
You can easily disable the telemetry and "spyware" in Windows 10 through the registry which takes less than 3 minutes.
>>338933310

Fun fact: if you feel forced to install windows 10 you're a fucking idiot, because when windows 10 is installing there's the "terms and conditions" check
and you fucking idiots just accept it.
seriously, you fuckheads hate the OS, you say that microsoft is pushing it down your throat, and when you are given the option to agree with what microsoft is doing, right there you all just go ahead and press "i agree" and resume the installation.
did you fucking IDIOTS know, that if you don't agree with something, you might actually select the option NOT TO AGREE WITH IT and it goes back to windows 7???
>B-BUT MICROSOFT IS EVUL!!
>IT IS FORCING MY MOUSE POINTER INTO THE "I AGREE" CHECK BOX!!!
>OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE POINTER IS MOVING!!
>WINDOWS 10 IS TAKING OVER MY BRAINS!!!
fucking
idiots

>"free"
>tries to get people to update to it constantly, even automatically
Talk about being naive.
If a guy knocked on your door and told you he was from Microsoft and offered free shots you would gladly let him stick a needle in your arm, right?
I should have saved the thing from /g/ where a guy monitored just how much data W10 was sending to MS while he was doing stuff even _after_ disabling everything he could in the settings and registry.
It was crazy.
Are Windows 7 people who refuse to upgrade the new old people who still cling onto Windows XP?
This is not videogames, fuck off.
Microsoft is like the beta animal in the animal kingdom that has to jack off on a sleeping female at night in hopes of getting her pregnant.

> If I press X on steam or Gog Galaxy while it downloads something, it's going to continue downloading in the background.
that is browser-specific. windows generated messages have been x to cancel for longer than most of /v/ has been alive.
I'm still using Windows 7. I have 8.1 on my laptop and it's worse, Why should I even consider upgrading to 10?
>>338933645
But Windows 8 was miserable shit and everyone stuck with Windows 7. It's the entire reason Windows 10 was conceived to begin with, to give the superficial appearance of 7 but retain all the bloatware and spyware from 8.
is turning off windows updates really all it takes to stop it?
thats pretty fucking hilarious that they would do something so fucked up but not even bother to actually make it hard to avoid
just shooting themselves in the foot
>>338933864
How can it send data if the telemetry registry is deleted?
This is some paranoia shit that makes no sense other than to scare people who don't know shit about computers.
>>338933761
Fucking 4chan is blocking the link for the page explaining what it does
>>338933872
No, Windows 7 is actually good and certainly worth upgrading to from XP.
Windows 10 is not good, it offers no benefits over W7 and is riddled with so much privacy-intruding programs and shit running in the background that it would be illegal in most countries.
>>338933825
calm down pajeet
>>338933872
YOU KEKS SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT WIN 8.1 AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well, good luck because I don't have windows update active anymore

Oh boy, I sure do love neo /v/.

You upgraded to Windows 7 for DX11, you're going to upgrade to Windows 10 for DX12 eventually.
>b-but its not """'""""bad""""""""
Let's assume for a second there's actually nothing wrong with W10. Why would I want to upgrade in the first place?
I have an SSD, it already boots in 5 seconds, so the one single positive I've heard about W10 is irrelevant to me.

Maybe, in some years. Depends on what happens to Vulkan.
>>338931439
Doesnt it disable literally any potential on screen display, so you cant even troubleshoot performance issues or optimize the graphics?
>>338934157
LOL
I upgraded to 7 because they didnt have drivers for my hardware
>>338933864
Wouldn't Windows 10 cap your upload? I mean some people have capped internet access. Wouldn't they get sued for unauthorized use of the users internet access?
>>338934176
I am using start10. Is that a botnet too?
just leave your windows 7 unactivated until microsoft is done with their bullshit
>>338934286
Don't reply to dumb ass bait
>>338933872
No, W7 people who refuse to upgrade are like people who refused to upgrade from XP to Vista.
>>338934342

>>338931025
I'm not a dumb pleb.
But I'm already on 10, anon. If you're so paranoid then install Linux and be done with it already.

Vista had driver problems which were shit
Windows 10 doesn't unless you use Nvidia like a dumbass jit

I ahve hundreds of pirated software, including big expensive ones likely to be disabled like Photoshop, Premiere, 3DS Max, etc.
They all work fine.

Vista only became good after the first service packs and way too deep in win7 lifetime.

for fucks sake, our countries nuclear arsenal uses massive floppy discs, and its just fine like that
>>338934429
Games? Where are they.
Does anyone actually think Microsoft won't keep W10 for free for everyone as desperate as they're being to get people to install it?
They're clearly just selling your info, so they would want as many people on it as possible.
>>338934463

/v/ nowadays seems to be comprised half of actual /v/ (people who have inflammatory but genuine opinions and post them) and people who pretend to be a retarded normalfag, or contrarian, for fun.
I really wish that second group would go away.
>>338934429
its not paranoia
i like playing old games
i like being able to use an on screen display to see if both my cards are running, and measure exactly what graphics options give me what performance, to get the best of both with my setup
>>338934598
I'd let them sell my info if I got a cut.

when microsoft decides to go full kike and turn windows 10 into an essential security update, i'll probably be heading back to XP.
>>338934693
I flip-flop between two groups depending on my day.
>>338934636
>click """"""HERE"""""""" to specifically cancel the upgrade
BETTER CLICK X INSTEAD
>>338934705
Oh and doesnt windows 10 force you to install updates whenever the fuck it feels like and fuck you if you dont want to?
Yeah... nah, fuck that
>>338934693
but you're part of the second group, just because you believe you're part of the first group it doesn't mean you actually are.
like those kids who just turned 18 and start complaining about kids these days.
>>338933645
>>I-IT BOOTS FASTER!
Considering only Windows 10 supports UEFI Ultra-Fast boot, it's an objective fact it boots faster, about 4-5 seconds power to desktop on my SSD.
8.1 only does UEFI Fast, 7 doesn't do UEFI boots at all.
>>338930830
Windows 10 may be a shitshow, but I upgraded when it came out.
After being stuck with 8.1, 10 is a godsend.
>>338934706
you did get a cut
its called windows 10
but they'l keep getting more and more from you until you stop using it
>>338934706
You're getting a shiny new OS for free, what more could you want? :^)
>>338934816
the next big update this summer will remove that and make it like it was on old windows where you choose to tell you about it but only downloads when you want it to.
>>338934796
Yeah nothing illegal here goy it's all by the book
>>338934864
I boot up in like 6 seconds on my w7
How much faster does it need to be?
I have windows 7 and I think I got asked if I wanted to "upgrade" to windows 10 once. I clicked no and it never came up again.
I have updates disabled and probably haven't updated in over a year, is that why? If I update am I fucked?
>>338934796
>Clicking the X is how it worked every day for 5 months
>Better read the pop up every single fucking day to make sure basic Windows functionality since 3.1 hasn't been changed
>>338934936
I don't believe you
>>338934864
speaking of UEFI boots, that shit is making me go crazy, my graphics card supports UEFI but it only works the first time after i enable it, if i restart or do anything else after that, it just crashes.
>>338934754
>windows XP gets a new update all of the sudden
>upgrade to Win10
>>338934463
At this point it's not a conspiracy, it's clear as day. Windows 10 is used to spy on people without their consent. Windows 10 updates from earlier OS without the users consent. Windows 10 will transform into subscription model later. The users won't own their operating system, they will just rent it from Microsoft.
And even after all this, most of the customers will just passively take it up the ass.

>>338935054
ah, so basically it what has always happened but now that you don't pay for it, it is wrong.
roger that.
I've had Windows 10 for about half an hour on my computer. After having to navigate through three different settings panel to turn off all 'features' that would spy on me, and finding out that yet another list of such settings would be hidden in some sub-menu of the start menu I ended up uninstalling this piece of shit.
I don't want an OS that spies on me. I just want it to run software.
>>338935086
Lolwut? I got Win10 ain't nothing like that happening.
>>338935139
Yeah, I sure do.
>>338935136
>Nonsense, i find it easier to run old games on Win10 than 8

Turning off those easily accessible settings wasn't gonna stop the spying anyway. Think of it like an iceberg.
The visible part of that spying iceberg is what you see in the settings. You can remove a bit more through fiddling with the registry. But you can't get to bottom 50%
