KEKKED AGAIN, WINCUCCKS
>>54590797
They are trying to kill off all the older versions, They have no plans on supporting those older version for the promised timeframe, They may patch p1 bugs but nothing else will be fixed.
>>54590797
What would this shit even do on my 10 year old Dell notebook?
>>54590797
Just happened to my laptop while I was fapping. I never really pay attention to the updates on that thing because I exclusively use it for fapping.
I am fucking pissed. Not even about the Windows 10 upgrade because I barely use my laptop, I'm just pissed that They did it while I was fapping.
That said, I'm keeping a closer eye on my Desktop updates from now on.
>go on road trip for two weeks
>desktop with windows 7 left unattended at home
>left it unplugged to save electricity
>mfw it'll be safe from auto updates
>>54590797
Did you even read the article or are you seeing headlines and shilling them immediately?
Nothing has changed. Nothing.
>>54590797
Is this shit legal? That's basically free data money for Microsoft now that telemetry is always on. What if I don't want to give money to Microsoft?
This is only a problem if you're a fucking idiot and didn't use Win 10 update removers/hiders
NO SYMPATHY
>>54591240
>M$ shills trace your IP and go to your house and update your computer after this post
Windows 10 is superior to 7, and there's not many good reasons to be running an 8 year old operating system.
>>54591288
Granted, but a lot of casual users have no idea about that sort of thing, or that this is even happening.
This is incredibly shitty, even by Microsoft standards.
>>54591283
Don't use their fucking OS?
>>54591319
Fuck you the next OS's are the exact same shit.
>>54590797
Its almost like Microsoft has ordered a Final Solution on Windows 7. Luckily there will be some Japanese People somewhere who sticked on with Windows 7.
Or better yet people who just installed Linux or Gentoo.

>>54591355
Can you explain why it's better to run Win7, outside of a software compatibility issue?
Are your privacy concerns based on flawed reporting?
That's not there aren't very legitimate criticisms that could be made by privacy advocates, but you can disable the microsoft reporting without third-party software, despite what is widely claimed.
Will this really end July 29?
>>54591503
no they will just change it from free to 119 dollars
>>54591497
>Windows 10 is good upgrade today (unsubstantiated claim)
>Care to explain why Windows 10 is bad? There's no reason to not upgrade.
>>54591522
I honestly doubt it they'll charge for it. This "One year" deadline is just enough to get a bunch of people to jump in at the last minute, at which point they'll announce that due to unexpected demand, they're extending the free offer for another 9 months or some shit.
They WANT you to jump on 10. Why would they set up a pay wall to do it? The money they get for consumer builds of Windows is chump change compared to what they can do with ads and the app store.
Had to disable the recommended updates on my grandmother's computer so it doesn't automatically upgrade her to Windows 10 without any sort of consent.
If it starts installing it will ask you to acept the EULA. If you reject the EULA it wont install and will revert to your old system.
>>54591529
I'll take that as a no.
There is a registry key you can set that will prevent it from upgrading to win10 ever.

>>54591553
they'll push everyone onto it that they can and then, once Vista, 7, and 8 are dead, start charging a monthly fee for it, like Adobe did with Photoshop.
Proprietary software, not even once
>>54591597
The thing is that's faulty reasoning. Why should I upgrade when my 7 year OS works just fine? As if age makes a difference in the final product, Microsoft in 2016 offers nothing better to a 2009 OS unless you would like to tell us why.
If you're supposed to be a marketeer you're not very good at it.
>>54591621
maybe by then google will save us?
>>54591678
not that guy but soon not later i0 mean soon as in the next few months a majority of the games that happen will not work AT ALL on 7 and there are rumors the GTX 10x0 series will not release drivers for 7 or 8 so upgrade now or get left behind

Please don't scare me into upgrading. I have had enough with this marketer meme. Instead tell me why Windows 10 is a viable upgrade. Do some marketing. Sell it to me.

i am NOT a marketeer i am someone sick and fucking tired of paranoid RETARDS holding us back and making my fucking job a massive pain in the dick cause they want to use ancient shit because "oh my god microsoft will know what porn i view and what games i play" all the fuckking while carrying around a device with 2 cameras at least 2 microphones and a GPS unit that alsoo cannot be powered down without removing its power source
but ya keep worrying about windows 10 and the telemetry boogieman you massive retard
>>54591760
The original claim was
>Windows 10 is superior to 7
Not the other way around.
>>54591760
I don't get how you extrapolated that from his statement. All he did was point out your logic.
>>54591768
Pajeet, you're rooting for the wrong side! We can't give you Rupees if you do that hahaha.
Please change your strategy.

>>54590797
just fucking upgrade and install anti-spybot you autistic fucking nerds
ive been running pirated windows 10 since last october
get win 7 and set it to no updates, play games from there
get virtualbox and install a a linux distro and browse from there
end of all problems
>>54591818
Holding us back is a good thing if we're going in the wrong direction. Which we are. Microsoft has no reason to know what porn I watch or what games I play. I don't think they should know anything that I do with my computer at all unless I choose to tell them. Because it's not their computer, it's my computer. If they'd made all their telemetry and botnettery opt-in, big deal. But they collect information on you and don't let you say no. That's the problem.
I also flashed a custom no-Gapps ROM on my phone and don't carry it with me unless I'm sure I'll need it, for precisely that reason.
>>54591818
So no source then? You still haven't told me why I should upgrade. The funny thing is, you probably did try to give me reasons why.
>>54591870

Nice try M$, but you can not scare us into letting you build a network to allow any fucking company/government to blackmail the private citizens under the pretense of homeland security.
I fap to loli
should i avoid windows 10?
>>54591977
Non sequitur, great. So because the OS is old is the reason to upgrade? This isn't a valid argument. We both know code doesn't deteriorate with use. Windows 7 was fine to use in 2009 so it must be fine in 2016.
Still waiting on the source for that rumor or were you making it up?
>>54592038
yes, your local government will call you a pedo, normies do not care about context or how non-violent a crime is, they only care about muh childrenz and muh degeneracy.
>>54592038
yeah, the US of A will automatically run pretty tightly scheduled backups for you. If you lose it all, you can kindly send the FBI a letter to request for it back. Hell they may even do version control for you.

Son, it's been like two fucking years since everyone even slightly tech literate realized win10 is basically nsa-as-a-service. If you're too dumb to wrap your head around it, just upgrade and fuck off, but stop trying to meme your way into convincing people you know what you're talking about, because you really don't.
>source: literally google "windows 10", then count how many times "privacy" appears in the first page.

>>54590797
You know your OS is shit when its vendor is pulling crap like this. I'd rather deal with the lack of drivers on Linux than with this piece of shit that I can't even use without using 3rd party tools to disable MALWARE THAT THE FUCKING VENDOR INSTALLS.
>>54591314
There's no good reason to downgrade to 10 either.
>>54591020
That's bullshit, they are obliged to keep supporting older versions and they will.
They want everyone to upgrade so they can start shoving adware in users face next year.

Fucking hell, Microsoft. They will probably find a way to "upgrade" Linux and Mac to Windows 10 as well.
>>54593452
Not on Gentoo because they'd have to supply source code for building with gcc.
Anyone here decided to go full GNU/Linux after they drop support for 7? Already have Debian on my laptop and muh games are the only thing holding me back on the desktop.
Even muh games aren't enough for me to switch to 10 when the time comes.

Actually it does. Normies have pretty much given up on desktops, it's all tablets and phones now. Soon there won't be any room for Windows computers anymore, because the market will consist entirely of companies and NEETs.
And then Linux will be the most used desktop OS.
>>54593542
Thanks to Windows 10 this year (or next) will be year of the Linux desktop.

Well with all the new telemetry features in w10 I'm sure microsoft will be aware of when you're fapping, so it won't happen again.

This. XP came around 32 to 64bit transition, so it made more sense to upgrade and when 7 came everyone switched. This time there is no good reason to use windows 10 and ms dropping support on 7 and doing windows store exclusive software makes me see every person who installs it as either dumb or uninformed. Plus there are more compatibility and performance issues on 10 than on 7/8.

you autists just hate change so I'm not surprised you have a meltdown every time Microsoft puts out a new OS.
if you were actually smart and really wanted to encourage people to try Linux you'd encourage them to dual boot instead of nose diving into your shitty niche fork distros with hardly any proper support for widely used software. you idiots do more harm than good for Linux all the while making yourselves look like gigantic, smelly, disgusting, waifu having, poop socking, pimple faced bumblefucks who haven't been outside or conversed with another human being in real life for the past ten years.

The fuckers have even been pushing the updates to domain joined systems. There is a way to opt-out, but my god.
There will be lots of support calls, I know that much. :^)
>>54596341
This person is right.
If I wasn't able to block updates on Win7, some of my very specialized (and seldomly updated) software would've been fucked up ages ago. Same goes for Apple as well.
i thought you could stop shit like this if you disable optional updates, is that still true?
>>54590797
Already happened to my parents PC and scared the shit out of them. That computer simply must run, because there's a very specific accounting program on it.
Any pop up window asking for permissions freaks them out and they call me to ask what to do. They don't speak english and they are not very tech literate.
Over the years I've seen so much bullshit like this, including driver updates trough windows update that cause BSOD.
It makes me wonder how much easier it would have been, if the shitty accounting program could just run on some LTS Ubuntu.
>>54596840
what do your parents do? i find it hard to believe it is so important that you cant find something else that would run on linux
>>54596840
fire up msconfig, go into services, and disable windows update from ever starting
then go about killing everything in task scheduler that's related to updates, as well as deleting the windows 10 download in its hidden folder
>>54596816
They pushed w10 as an important update at least once. Or was it a security update?
>>54596953
maybe it was before i built my PC then. i built this rig about 7 months ago and i only let important updates through and have yet to see anything about window 10 (im running 7). i do plan to switch to linux if they try and force me though. nothing that microsoft wants me to have that badly can possibly be good
My computer updated over night. Woke up and saw Windows 10. So far no complaints other the the weird Big Brother vibe I got from the whole thing.
>>54597026
You're lucky you don't have to deal with the update fuckery for a fresh install now. They gimped updating on windows 7 with a fucking long wait time.
>>54596929
My mother does the accounting and she can only use this program, which we've been using for over 20 years now.
I'm no programmer but the security is done in such a god fucking awful way I think it even looks at the hardware (either hdd or motherboard info or both).
Defragmenting the drive with 3rd party software has made the program bitch about an invalid license. I have no fucking idea how it works.
And add to that electronic signatures and government websites (the local equivalent of the IRS in the US) that require IE...
All of this is why my parents are so terrified at the possibility of something breaking.
>>54596950
I just used the GWX Control Panel and everything's fine now.
Tried removing the KB3035083 or whatever it was update and disabling it only to find out Windows will still try to install it no matter how many times you try and hide it.

>>54597098

That is not enough. Kill the windows update service. I just hope your parents aren't the kind of idiots that install a million toolbars on their web browser.

like this?
>>54597132
No, generally speaking they don't install anything on their own, at most I'll find Chrome installed because it's shoved down your throat everywhere.
Why disable Update altogether?
>>54597166
Nothing but bad things happen when you leave windows updates on. I really need to compile a list of shit microsoft has done with windows updates breaking and BSODing computers.
Don't forget to delete $Windows.~BT.
>>54596341
>Windows is never secure
Better make it even less secure then.
>>54597388
Doesn't help when you can't tell what the update does right off the bat without having to go to M$ website to find out what KB!@$!%!%!^!^ even does. Even then the update description tends to be vague.
>>54592038
I think you should be fine. I've been keeping loli doujins on Onedrive for years now no problem.
>>54597388
"Less secure" is like "less pregnant". You either are or aren't.

>>54591868
Is it true that 7 has issues with some of the newer games?
>>54597617
like? haven't had any problem so far.
>>54597132
lol. all you have to do is not check one fucking update or put it in hidden. you do not need a 3rd party app to this this
it is also optional and marked as critical or important
>>54597580
LTSB doesn't get feature updates. So if there's a memory leak in 10240 and it gets fixed in 10586 you won't get that update.
>>54596929
Have you tried running it on wine?
>>54597650
It sounds like some proprietary software written for the government, those tend to be annoying as hell when it comes to security.
>>54597641
Well. When does it upgrade then? Like one major one a year ?It's more for companies and busines. You'd think it would be more stable in first place.
>>54597638
Except it doesn't work.
It will still show up.
They have been doing this at least the last 2 months. Nothing new.
>>54597684
That's exactly it. It doesn't get feature updates. Ever. Only security updates.
Windows 10 Enterprise > LTSB or LTSB N.
>>54597701
It hasn't for me.
I truly don't understand, I really mean it, how can any of you actually defend microsoft?
If you are too dumb/ignorant/lazy to ditch microsoft, so be it, especially those that are ignorant, I don't say it as an insult but I mean it in the full sense of the word.
Why would any of you here on /g/ actually defend windows 10?

Microsoft will not fuck up one thing, and that is their enterprise market. That's basically their lifeline.
How does it feel to be treated like a dirty consumer? You're literally a point on a graph at Microsoft HQ.
Sure is summer early.

I tried windows server 2016 as a desktop, and my NVIDIA drivers refused to install. Couldn't really figure it out. I know that NVIDIA GPUs will refuse to run in a VM, and some software will do the same with windows server, so perhaps it's NVIDIA being cunts.
Otherwise I loved windows server
I remember when Windows 8 came out there was something that made me not upgrade. Was it metro? Was it some kind of privacy issue? Probably both.
Anyway, now that ReactOS exists and is useable there is no reason to use Windows. You get the best of both worlds.
>>54597617
Nope, that's just poo shilling.
>>54597617
Well I have Battleborn, Overwatch, and the new dark souls and it doesn't seem to be much laggier. In fact, I think I get a higher fps on my windows 7 than my windows 10 in battleborn, but I'll have to check.
>>54597852
for an gpu to run in a vm your cpu and motherboard need to support passthrough.
ususally labled as vt-d on cpus.
otherwise its not gonna happen on any operating system.
>>54597861
>ReactOS
>Usable
Are you kidding me faggot?
Most new networking adapters won't work, since it depends on ndiswrapper-type-drivers.
Le VESA drivers for most GPUs
isn't firefox 24 the newest version that runs in ReactOS?
>>54597890
Nooo, that's not what I'm referring to. I mean that if you passthrough an NVIDIA GPU, it will literally shut itself off if it detects it's running in a VM. Qemu has a workaround for this, but NVIDIA might "fix" it eventually. It makes sense NVIDIA would disable their desktop GPUs on windows server to force you to buy their overpriced workstation GPUs.
>>54597922
no you dont understand.
this is exactly what is happening if your cpu or motherboard do not support vt-d and you try to pass through a pci-e device like your nvidia card.
you literally do not need drivers on the host device. only on the guest.
i know htis because ive done this many times with Qemu on different hosts. from windows server to fucking bsd.
you go and look up your fucking cpu now and see if it has vt-d support and if it works with the motherboard you chose.
this is not an nvidia bug.

I plan on dual booting two versions of 7, and upgrading one of them to 10 before the deadline for gaming/dx12 support. Good idea y/n?
>>54593470
Me, already sold my desktop and now just gayming some older games on my laptop. Not sure I even want to buy Zen anymore, considering the future of PC gaming is going to be on Windows 10.
>>54598452
No sense using 7 if you are gonna get cucked by 10 anyways.
>>54593405

>>54598474
Its just 4 le games
>>54598452
>dual booting two versions of 7
You don't need to upgrade another version. You can just do a fresh install dual boot.
XP
Win7+SP1 Ultimate
Win10 Enterprise
Cinnamon Mint
4 to choose from at boot here. Barely ever use win10, XP gets more use because of old games that best run natively on it.
>>54598564
Games require you to be online, no point in trying to get away from the botnet at that point.
Remember when people said this kind of thing would never happen with Windows?
Why do people STILL use Windows? Like fucking really, you're going to have to move on eventually. Just use it for video games or something. For fucks sake.
>>54598647
But the botnet cant data mind when all it has is games and chat, ill do everything else in 7
>>54598731
Well you can set up some distros easy but the good ones like debian and arch arent easily accessible. Also not everything runs in wine. Some games, professional software, etc won't run on gnu linux. And then theirs the whole ntfs thing
>>54598770

Ubuntu goes against the floss philosophy, so something else is needed. And what purpose does a layman have for dual boot when windows does it all?
>>54599062
>Ubuntu goes against the floss philosophy
Anyone switching from Windows doesn't care. Also most people aren't communists.
>>54599015

>>54599062
>Ubuntu goes against the floss philosophy,
Who fucking cares?
>>54599074
Again thats my point, why should they care to switch in the first place if all it means is complicating things with dual boot when everything they would do in ubuntu can be done in windows. Additionally cant 10 install ubuntu repos now?

Learning to install Arch Linux dual boot as we speak. I can't seem to setup my wifi properly.
This shit is annoying.
>>54599250
>Arch
Bad idea for a beginner distro. Get Ubuntu or Cinnamon Mint for baby's first linux.
Wifi is always a bitch on linux.
>>54599250
Why even bother. And ehy use arch as your first distro? Just use xubuntu or an already working arch.
>>54597535
I think there is a difference between being targeted by every script kiddie that can exploit bug that was fixed 4 years ago vs being specifically targeted by somebody who paid lots and lots of money.

Obv its gonna happen while youre fapping, everytime u get on that laptop irs to fap.
>>54599404
Test the wifi via a live USB install first.
If your wifi doesn't work in the actual install, you'll just need to copy over the drivers in the usb to your actual install. At least that's what I did with Cinnamon Mint.
>>54599462
It just says 'device not ready' when I reboot. Only fix is to shut down the laptop physically and reboot for it to work. I don't know what the fuck is going on.
Google search showed this problem with Realtek/Mediatek devices since Ubuntu 12.10 but no one bothered to fix it.
>>54599404
The thing comes muted on ubuntu sometimes. Wifi, go in to additional drivers. An audio one could b there too
>>54599533
Tried everything from Alsamixer to some fucking front end to manually tweak my audio jacks.
IDT Audio and Mediatek Wireless are unusable on Linux. I spent several weeks working with Ubuntu and posting on forums. There is no solution except changing my laptop motherboard, which is insane.

What the fuck? This thread made me go check the annoying "Get Windows 10" program. Suddenly instead of having a big button that says "Reserve my upgrade" it's now talking like I've already agreed to do it. Fuck that I don't want Windows 10

Because Linux is just the kernel, I see no need to list it when I state the name of my operating system. You wouldn't call Windows "Windows/NT" or MacOSX "MacOS/Darwin", So why call GNU "GNU/Linux"?
>>54590797
I have a grand uncle just about 90 years old. He watches his buissness through ip cameras across the internet at his house.
Windows 10 will not run the software that he uses without crashing and keeping it from upgrading on its own is a fucking nightmare.
Does the windows 10 upgrade blocker still work? I installed that there.
Fuck now I need to log in with team viewer and check.
