What have you done to install windows 10 and get rid of the botnet bullshit.
>>52049470
install gentoo instead
>>52049470
I got rid of Windows 10.
>>52049492
I like gentoo, but I use windows for gaming.
>>52049470
anti-beacon
>>52049470
I ran this
https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking/releases/
>>52049653
Looks like fools gold. Isn't tracking so integrated into Windows 10 it's impossible to disable?
>>52049470
Never installed it to begin with. Telemetry is baked in. You can not disable it fully. Only a person with no self respect would allow a corporation openly spy on them like that.
>>52049669
If you have a version with group policy you should have complete control over it
>le /g/ botnet meme
>>52049676
So what are you using then? Windows 8 is almost as bad
>>52049704
Some settings in GP simply don't work, even if you can change them (like disabling telemetry in Pro).
>>52049764
There is no forced telemetry or forced updates in 8 or 7.
>>52049470
you can't
I don't use Windows 10. But the last thing you need to worry about is privacy. That's been lost since the nineties
>>52049470
I didn't click "EXPRESS SETTINGS" and unticked every single "send shit to us so we can suck your dick better, senpai" tab.
Also, downloaded it illegally.
>>52051032
>I didn't click "EXPRESS SETTINGS" and unticked every single "send shit to us so we can suck your dick better, senpai" tab.
That still leaves a bunch of botnet and bloat, family.
Seriously, just don't use 10, there's no point anyway.
>>52051125
I, being a normie and not using this PC for world dominance, just like the look and feel of Win10. Got 7 on my laptop and I'm not installing it there.
Seriously, it looks hella nice and it makes me feel all fuzzy inside. And the only other install DVD in my house is a Win8Pro. Fuck that. I'll try the new stuff, runs smoothly so far.
>>52051125
>botnet and bloat
We got it, anon, you've familiarized yourself with the /g/ memes.
>>52051242
He right though, about the botnet part at least. Bloat is subjective on a non-oem windows install, but some would call it that.
Is there a single reason to install Windows 10 yet?
>>52051270
what kind of a botnet does Win10 have?
As long as the NSA doesn't come knocking on my door, I don't care about my data
>seriously, all my data already belongs to google and windows
>show me one person who from day 1 has deleted their digital footprint
Also, I'm not a kind of person that wouldn't have online info somewhere. Because I work in a field that has the information written down publicly. In books.
>>52051270
Well it's not a literal botnet either, so he's not right at all.
>>52051308
Windows 10 is nothing but goodness. It's superior to both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. No software is perfect, as the old adage goes. But Windows 10 gets pretty damned close.
>>52049897
Yeah except the windows 10 constantly
Use this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/windows-10-lite/files/
Put it into your iso image or usb and reinstall windows 10. There should be instructions on the bottom of the page in the link provided.
>>52049470
You can't. You can try, but you cant. Something will always skip through the cracks. If you are serious I'd get a non-host based firewall and monitor and configure it weekly.
>>52051378
>sourceforge
Isn't it the malware central?
Windows 10 can't even play a DVD natively.
>>52051032
I remember being 12.
>>52051394
slip*
Installed it on a laptop, switched said laptop to Linux Mint about three weeks later. 10 sucks.
>>52051412
>heh, he's not installing Gentoo, that means he's 12!
Yeah, no.
>>52051451
And what do you game on?
Stupid question probably, but wouldn't it be save and easy to remove any wlan stuff, get a Linux machine with two ethernet ports, only give win10 access to network through said machine and monitor/block shit.
>>52051412
>>52051308
It looks really nice.
>>52051350
Did he mean the part that "Windows will spread updates from user to user"?
If that's the case and you're not retarded, you can air-gap your system. I did that partially, I had to install anything by physically taking it on a flash drive from my laptop to the PC and installing it. I have a USB antenna now, but it can still be air-gapped by just unplugging it.
>>52051490
Said nothing of the like senpai.
Basically
>he thinks ticking a few boxes stops the botnet built into the kernel
>he thinks downloading an "illegal" copy is more botnet free
Even if it were, he doesn't have the time or skills needed to scour the installation for the included malicious code that comes with all cracked software.
>>52051735
I don't have the time or skills to search anything in any software. That's why I give so few fucks.
>>52049708

You can monitor and block all you want, but telemetry is masquerading as legit connections. You won't know which one is legit, and which one is wearing a mask.
>>52051347
>what kind of a botnet does Win10 have?
Telemetry which cannot be turned off.
>As long as the NSA doesn't come knocking on my door, I don't care about my data

>>52049512
If you use windows for gaming, then just accept the botnet and use it for gaming. use Linux for everything else. Or else you will have to work for hours every update removing every piece of the botnet that is put back again after every update. And it is included. Or risk turning your computer to a criminal botnet by running scripts from the internet every update. It is impossible to completely remove it even if you remove most of it. It is a sisyphean effort, pulling a rock to the top of a mountain, and then it rolls down again before you push it up again for eternity.
Just use Linux as your daily OS. and just let the botnet do it's work. It will look into your files of course, but Microsoft can not read Linux file systems like ext4 so everything on your linux partition is safe.
>>52051995
>Whitelist need stuff
Telemetry isn't listed as "telemetry". It's listed as legit stuff needed for OS to work. You will be doing a lot of probing and guessing with your whitelist.
>>52052545
Arent you afraid someone will hack into your computer and update it for you? It is easy to do, the security problems are open on the internet. Any script kid can do it, don't need a CS degree or any real skills. Which is why the security updates exists.
>>52052685
>NSA can not read Linux file systems
Sure buddy.
>>52052714
Windows can't because they don't bother implementing it in their OS. You can not use a Windows OS to check a linux file system. And in any case you can encrypt the home folder on a linux system easily by just checking of a checkbox during install.
>>52052738
You will be protected from MS, not NSA
Not like it matters, if you wanted true privacy you would have to stop using an internet connection
>>52052712
Clean install of windows, check what is connecting, block all. Install programs, analyze only new connections
is there a way to upgrade from home to pro without buying or pirating?
>>52055541
some guy on leddit sells legit licenses for like $30. Also gnu/loonix.
>>52055750

already use them, but I need windows once in a while
thanks anyway
I will never touch this OS again unless I have to. There are ways to get around using that I've found.
Figured I'd ask in this thread. Does the upgrade ask a product key or anything? My installed copy of 7 is oem and I don't want an oem version anymore if I upgrade. Would I have to do a clean install (after upgrade) to put in a key for a non oem version?

Win7 already downloading, I'd rather fuck around with Rainmeter before touching this steaming pile of shit again. Anyone have any idea on how to make Win7 as pretty as Win10? I gotta say, the system looks nice. But it's broken.
>>52053531
How do you block windows telemetry? I heard it can work on a pretty low level and even third party software firewalls get bypassed? Only solution is hardware firewall I personally never used one and I feel hardware firewall is somewhat more difficult to configure correctly so that only traffic that you want is allowed out
>>52056434
Do the upgrade through windows, it will authenticate your motherboard for windows 10. Then burn the upgrade iso and do the clean install, it should auto activate.
>>52056434
Seriously, don't, bruv. I know you want to. I know it may sound like a good idea. But mark my words. I did a clean install of it. I tried my best. I put it into a clean new all-parts-bought-then-built system. You don't want this.
>>52056478 is me.

>>52056536
>>>/v/
and stay there
>>52056502
You can't... People following the firewall 24/7 are deluding themselves, there are connections to microsoft all the time looking for updates and that sort of thing. Even if you spend 24 hours per day looking through and analyzing every package sent something might still slip past. And you need to do EVERYTHING again after the next update and repeat after the next update and after that. And they probably know what people are doing and you have like 100 engineers trying to sneak telemetry all over so you need to do research after every update. It is very time consuming, difficult and you won't have time to do anything else if you want to really make sure. You could run some script of the internet, but criminals have made lots of these script and you are likely just installing THEIR botnet and keylogger and soon your credit card is drawn.
Just accept the botnet. Use windows for gaming and linux for everything else.

>>52056640
Well windows updates/services is a non issue, all microsoft related stuff can be safely blocked. But can hardware firewall differenciate between different programs connecting to the internet like firefox and some windows service and block ms shit but allow firefox?
>>52056827
>all microsoft related stuff can be safely blocked
did you even read that post
>>52056881
Yeah, its true, I have seen offline machines running for years without any updates ever installed. There is literally no reason to update a stable version.
>tfw eventually you will need to use Windows 10 to play the latest VR waifu cyberpunk simulator
Eh.... Guess I can just pay the $2 for 80's movies instead of pirating. Hope they don't give a shit about anime though. Not prepared to spend $200 to have blue ray discs shipped over.

Updates on Windows 10 are forced unless you have the Enterprise version. If you have Home, then even the restarts are forced. Restarts and updates are forced by default no matter what version you have. This is not a option for most people on Windows 10.
You would need to keep it offline all the time.

>>52057247
You can not choose not to update on windows 10 if you are online.
>>52057603
Just turn the service off you daft cunts.
>>52057626
that is only possible in the enterprise version. If you have home or pro it is not possible to turn it off. it will download and install automatically no matter what you do. if you have pro then at leasy you can decide to not restart straight away.
>>52057603

Any decent firewall will show and/or notify you when an exe or msservice is trying connect to internet, you can allow/deny request.
>>52049470

You need to do several which also does other stuff. Try to do it, you will gimp your computer and won't be able to use the internet properly.

Daily reminder that ALL versions of windows 10 have telemetry that absolutely can't be disabled, even ENTERPRISE LTSB.
All the retards and shills with their 1337 debloat antispying scripts and software firewalls are just deluding themselves.
If you use windows 10, you will be spied on without your consent, end of story.

At least W10 can be prevented from turning iff my software. But honestly they fucked up this whole new OS release by doing it this way. It would be as close to Microsoft and Sony doing what they had planned initially for the Xbone and PS4 back when they got tons of flack.

It's possible to turn off Windows Updates via services.msc. You do not need to have Enterprise in order to access Windows Services you know.
>>52059378
We're talking about windows 10 not 7.
Also turning off windows updates is stupid considering you wont be getting any security updates either.
>>52059493
It works for Windows 10 of any version as well.

>>52049470
I installed Windows 10 and it lasted 3 days on my machine.
After endless driver problems that would just constantly cause my connection to drop, to spending 6 hours debotnetting and debloating shit, and then culminating in Windows 10 getting stuck at boot randomly forcing me to physically restart the pc, I just had enough of it. Not worth the hassle at all.
>>52058473
Have you seen a telemetry cap? Not likely, largely because there's a non-public tool required to decrypt the tool.
I've seen the telemetry pulls. I used to have to analyze them as part of my job. There is zero personally identifiable data transmitted.
You don't have to like Windows, and there are reasons to use something else instead of 7/8x/10, but this is simple FUD...
