>>337967295
Something is conflicting with my computer when I was using Windows 10 that was Eating up my Ram.
I cculd idle for 20 mins and the computer would go from 20% ram used to 55% ram used and climbing. This started happening right after I switch to 10. I'm glad I switched back but now this shit is happening. Fuck my life.

>>337967026
Just disable updates. You don't need any updates on 7 anymore.
Apparently my copy of Windows 7 is exempt from Windows 10 upgrades. I've downloaded every single Windows update every month and I still have never received a single message in the form of a pop-up or on my task bar stating I should upgrade to Windows 10. I have Windows 7 Professional with a key provided by my college years ago. I noticed after activating Windows to become genuine the product key apparently stops existing in any form on the system even though it stays genuine. I apparently got a gimped version of W7 that ended up being a blessing instead.

If you're paranoid you should be dual booting. Linux for whatever the fuck you're afraid of Microsoft seeing, and boot into windows when you need to run a windows only game or program.
This thread is terrible.
>>337967435
You can have ALL updates specifically turned off AND 'ask permission before' turned on and microshit's 'trusted computing' bullshits can still let your computer do w/e the fuck Microsoft want.
>because obviously you the human are a moron and only by accident turned off them updates so microshits software's going to 'help' you by turning them back on for those microshit updates. And we don't want to interrupt you as you play on Facebook so we won't ask your permission. After all. The update is from microshit. You obviously want those. So no permission needed.

I think from now on I'll try things on my own. Or at least learn to ignore anyone on 4chan where their only "argument" against something is calling anyone that disagrees with them a shill or something along those lines.
>>337967026
That explains why it would fucking start downloading Windows 10 even though I specifically ticked it off. At least I turned updates off.

I run aegis weekly and every time it updates
I'll probably rangeban microsoft if they still try to shoehorn it and maybe remove windows update altogether although that would be hard
I've been using windows 10 with Cortana for alarms and shit.
It's honestly not that bad, I'm telling you. That, and well I just don't care enough about "spyware" as much as you guys do.
Seriously if you guys were worried about people watching your every waking move then why don't you just close 4chan? Why not turn off your computer and never boot it again? I just don't get you, /v/ and /g/.
>>337968443
>W10 is still garbage even if you remove the spyware.
Why? I didn't get Windows 8, I went straight from 7 to 10. This looks about the same to me and I haven't seen any noticeable differences for the worse.
>>337968321
Most Windows keys provided by colleges are exempt from the Windows 10 upgrade, either because they are Enterprise editions or some other faggotry. The Windows 8 I got from my college can't upgrade either.
>>337968508
Like removing all the W8 style bloat and turning off and disabling all "spyware".

It somehow doubles the minimum requirements for all games. That is if totally-not-a-smart-phone-OS will even let you run the game to begin with.

>>337968341
Just so you know most updates that fix "hacking" issues only fix usb overrides and if you're stupid enough to download risky pdfs/exes on the internet.
>>337968635
What makes me curious though is that if I decided to move to 10 could I run the Windows 10 upgrade from a flash drive and still obtain a valid 10 copy or would it not be genuine? Probably not genuine due to the special key. I do know OEM Windows 7 and I keys can be used to activate a fresh copy of Windows 10, not even an upgrade, so it makes me curious.
>>337968583
Nice try
There's literally no reason to not update. A big excuse found on 4chan is
>muh botnet, muh security
But in reality nobody gives a fuck about you. You are literally 1 in 1000 billion people hooked up to this hypothetical "botnet" and your entire PC could be one giant security hole but nobody cares about what you have on your computer so it's all ok.

The irony
>>337968583
Its called memes. This is the new meme. Its exactly what happened with every windows since XP, at least I didn't start paying attention to it until XP. You had people still refusing to upgrade from XP when W7 was out because "Reasons". Just like you will have people that will hang onto W7 until they absolutely HAVE to upgrade even though W10 really is just W7 that runs a bit better and with more shit it can do.
Of course the generic response to me saying this is someone saying I work for Microsoft or something, because no one has any actual arguments against using W10 that outweigh the advantages.
>>337968772
This. Installing W10 will make playing vidya a total pain, never do it.
>>337968945
Never underestimate 4chan's massive narcissism and paranoia, anon.
>>337968821

>>337968993
8.1 is workable but 8.0 is legacy software and a pain in the ass to upgrade or work with. Stick with 7 or 10 at all cost.
If you can't turn off automatic downloads, you're fucking stupid.
Can't believe you /g/ fags acting smug and better than everyone when you can't do some simplistic ass bullshit.
Microsoft $hills in full force.
>STOP CARING ABOUT PRIVACY AND LET US IN
>>337968981
Yeah. For example no sane non-US corporation will ever use w10 with the amount of spyware and backdoors it has and will probably rather move to linux packs made in-house or by-order when w7 is off the lifeline

Actually have it dualbooting right now. Just not sure what'd happen to ubuntu if w8 decided to turn into w10. Like whether that'd fuck with my dualbooting or not.Thinking I might move to ubuntu for online shit and just use windows as 100% offline program running. Not sure how it'd work though.
>>337968945
Until one day your employer or whoever the fuck wants to get rid of you and finds something on your PC to do just that.

>>337969053
People didn't go from XP to W7, and from whatever they're on to 10 now, not because of paranoia. That's a minority.
It's because whenever these things come out for a GOOD long while, they are utterly broken for certain things like gaming. It takes time for them to fix it, and a lot of people don't want to bother until then.

Telemetry has been patches in 7/8/8.1/10 if you don't like it don't use Windows, using outdated and insecure software is retarded and Microsoft is fighting against the retards like you, that is why it needs to force updates on aspies.

>>337967026
that's why you disable updates, disable the windows 10 upgrade in your registry and disable the task scheduler's windows 10 upgrade prompt task
>>337969478
Thats a minority that is super fucking vocal on /v/. 90% of the "W10 is awful don't touch it" fall into that category. As evidenced by their complete lack of, well, evidence. Yeah I'm sure its had bugs, but I've had it for months and not had any issues. Every game I have tried to play runs, and runs fine. Just as well as they did in W7, even older games. I'm sure there are some problems still, but I don't know about them, because I haven't run into them. I can even run old ass DOS games on this thing without any trouble.
I mean if you, personally, feel like you shouldn't upgrade because you FEEL its not time yet, then fine, but spamming things that will make people think your computer is going to burn down after stealing all your money and fucking your dog is just goofy.
But understand feelings and facts aren't the same thing.

No, linux support still isnt really there. Only about 70 of around 200 games in my library work natively. Steam does well to split linux supported games from non-supported in both the storefront and library though.

I blame the patriot act getting constantly renewed.

This honestly. Few minutes with Linux and I love it, a lot of cool software and customisiability that you just can't get on Windows easily. I just use Windows for games now.

>>337969572
>if I want to switch to linux, can I play every steam game?
No, fuck no. Quite a few games are getting linux versions these days but the selection is still small, and the performance in linux is shit compared to windows. Also, drivers in linux are pretty bad both for Nvidia and AMD, because it's obviously not a big priority for them. For any games that don't have Linux versions you can play them through WINE, but performance will suffer, and some games simply won't work at all.
tl;dr, gaming on Linux is shit. SHIT.
Will I be able to upgrade from my cracked windows 7?
>>337970082
If you managed to get used to different versions of Windows you'll manage to get used to Mint.
The desktop itself and GUI settings are far more logical than Windows, the problem is when you're used to .exe files and shortcuts to them, and having a C drive and Program Files folder etc. etc.
But at least your OS is your OS and you don't feel like you're using a subscription service that's subject to change at the whim of a company.
>>337969572
>can I play every steam game
No, far from it. AAA releases are few and far between. But most old games work with Wine, and all the console emulators are also on Linux.
Performance is worse than DirectX in Windows, and that's with nvidia and closed source drivers, AMD GPUs are even worse.
It's really not a gaming platform, and that probably won't change soon. Steam for linux is several years old now and hasn't gained more than 1% market share.
>not changing your registry to block win10
Good job, retards.
Microsoft is a powerful conglomerate.
They have essentially made buisness deals with various partners to get everyone on their new platform which will more effectively than ever determine which advertisements are right to throw at you.
It's all about money.
Such all powerful platform could also be used defensively, say, to isolate torrent downloads and expose those that abuse copyright infringement.
Oh, and your emails? Yeah, those are for peeping too not.
>b-but Muh conspiracy
I've been in the tech industry for 13 years. Everybody has seen this coming a mile away. It's your choice if you refuse to ignore it.

You need to do more than that. I've had updates turned off for a solid 2 years since my last reformat of my system. I still caught win10 pop-up initiating a download.
So I fondled my registry a bit, and now the alert for "free win10" doesn't even happen anymore.
>>337971576
I'm a tech illiterate when it comes to things like that. I would have done it when I first got the computer if I understood the process and risks.
What's wrong with W10 haters? Don't you install updates to windows automatically?
Why should it matter that this one is called Windows 10 instead of upgrade 2.130110 or whatever.
This is literal memeing.
Reminder that forcing Windows 10 is literally cyber rape.

When Windows 7 came out, I basically immediately switched to it from XP, because it was XP with extra, good things. Windows 10 is just pure shit. I see Windows 10 on customer computers all the time, and I have yet to see a positive thing that Windows 10 has added.

What I don't get is that this used to have a different date.

It used to say that updates were installed and checked some time last year when I deleted some of them, but then it suddenly switched to "never"

10 has the problem of turning everything you know upside down for the sake of being "new".

Win 7 for the life of this PC.
>>337971865
All you need is an OS install disk. Say you want Windows 7, just download that off your favorite torrent site along with any crack, put it on USB with rufus or burn it to dvd, and boot from whatever media you use during startup.
>>337968547
>not using stock windows 7
>>337967026
Oh well, I've been putting off upgrading. I've saved my Windows 7 on a usb drive. I have a usb waiting for me to upgrade to windows 10. They'll just make me stop procrastinating.
>>337972260
Don't you have to then get lots of drivers and what not?
>>337972095
And zero hour
Windows 7 killed my weekend LAN parties and i'm still fucking salty about it.
>>337971906
Wall mounted monitor and my eyesight is fucked.
And like I said, it did not prompt me with an installation, I gave no permission for the download to start and it did anyway when I was in game. It restarted my PC which it has never done before and forced windows 10 to update.
But whatever believe what you want.

>>337970637
I updated my 7 machine to the latest iteration, and noticed that it came with a nice, shiny new Windows 10 icon that sat like a fat fucker on my toolbar. Then it started harassing me about updating to 10, and I couldn't find a way to turn the notifications off. So I turned off WinUpdate. Then it tried to do it anyway, when I wasn't paying attention.
I had to go into my registry and disable Win10 automatic update keys, and clear out the auto-update software installed by the latest Win7 update from my PC, in order to keep from scheduling a Windows 10 update and from automatically doing the update without my authorization.
Yeah. Windows tried to hijack my PC with its bullshit OS update after I specifically told it not to. Even turning off Windows Update doesn't stop it once it's on your PC. You have to dig that shit out of your operating system if you want to update your Win7 machine with the most recent package.

I'm willing to say that it was maybe 5 years ago that people were forced to use computers. And I don't mean being good at computers but being able to check email, use Facebook, and use iTunes. By no means are people actually computer literate and I don't expect them to be even ten years from now.
How many people do you think can use Excel or a spreadsheet? How many people do you think know what a fucking podcast is?
Everyone has more or less the equivalent of a sports car in computer hardware for all the normal non-intense average things they do and ten years from now they're still going to be fucking throwing out their computers because they think they've physically gotten slow and not because they packed their hard drive with digital sewage.

Spyware meme aside? I honestly wouldn't even care about updating to Windows 10. But the way it's been presented in such a fucking obnoxious way I'm not doing it out of principle at this point.
I shouldn't have to police my windows updates to selectively hide the update that puts what's effectively nagware/adware onto your taskbar
I shouldn't have to HIDE THAT UPDATE MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE THEY KEEP REPUBLISHING IT.
Even when I go into the fucking registry and GPC and straight out put "No I do not want to upgrade", it keeps trying to push these onto my computer. And that's the problem with Windows 10 for me

This is the same rhetoric found in certain handbooks and I still don't buy it. If we as a society value privacy we should pressure our governments into reflecting our values rather than "what's good for us" or "what will stop the no good (bad guys here)". It's a shame this wasn't heavily advocated for back when social media was just blossoming. Now a lack of privacy is almost cultural for some people.

Facebook mainly keeps your shit so they can show stories and ads you'd like.
Windows 10 is going to collect EVERYTHING.
Windows 7 does everything I need it to do. Windows 10 adds no features I appreciate, changes things I don't want changed, is less compatible with the software I use and has the botnet stuff on top of it.
There are plenty of reasons beyond privacy concerns for not using Windows 10. The reality is that Windows 10 is unnecessary and we'd all stay on 7 forever if it was updated forever.
Saw it a couple days ago and got really annoyed. I removed the related updates and blocked them from Windows Updater. I should be fine as long as they don't roll different ones out.

Read that. Afaik, Law Enforcement were actually shocked way back when social media first started.

The use of a credit/debit card means everyone knows your spending habits and can generate marketing/promotional information from it.
Anyways, the issue here is this cult of privacy that has formed. To them, privacy is sacred even though they've given it up willingly like you've said a million times over. That being said, I think the issue more so than anything else is that unlike your Steam behavior or Phone, there might be some pretty borderline incriminating shit on people's computers. We, the computer literate, probably have some sort of pirated shit, freaky pornography that could be interpreted as illegal, and a million other things that could ruin our lives if someone just decided to press the mutant-finder button and find everyone. I'm not saying that anybody has the resources to catch everyone, even the government, but people have been locked away for decades for petty minor shit just because some lawmaker wanted to make a name for themselves.
A part of me feels that if someone truly had good reason to suspect I'm a terrorist, they're more than welcome to kick down my door with a warrant produced from my monitored Internet traffic. My issue with that is that is only justifiable in a non-corrupt system; and the system is certainly corrupt.
I mean, could you imagine if pirated media became a red flag because the media industries decided to pay millions of dollars to actually track down copyright infringement? Then it would just be so easy to plant illegal shit on people's computers knowing that the sheer fact it's on there is enough to have a meeting with the police - even if nothing happens that's pretty inconvenient.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'd be fine with monitoring if the system wasn't so corrupt that the people in authority won't just fuck someone just because they can.
>>337975497

How the hell is this legal? I don't know about burgerland but in Europe customer rights are generally pretty nice. Heck, they even managed to make Steam refunds a thing.
If I purchase an operating system I expect to be able to keep using the OS I wanted in the first place instead of being forced into another OS. You can't pretend you're just doing me a service but giving me free updates when it's going to completely change my shit.
Like imagine if a mandatory update came to a single player game you purchased turning it into a completely different (bad) game.
Will this fuck me if my copy of Windows is pirated?
>>337977439
Hey who cares, the reactions are still valid. If anything they have become even more aggressive about the updates.
>>337977087
When I say "willingly" I mean most people haven't read the fine print regarding what can be used of your information when using the service they offer. If you use your credit card, I'm sure they see exactly what you've bought, where, and can use your future purchases and compare them to your previous ones to develop a shopper profile and lump you together with other shoppers that fit a similar profile to cobble together rewards packages or promotional materials.
So far as I know there's nothing illegal about the government spying on your shit. That may sound naive but in spite of what has happened I don't think anybody went to fucking jail for it. It was probably brushed off as a condition for living in this country just like how the police are allowed to kick your ass and lock you up if you're in a drunken stupor and are a threat to yourself and others around you.
I just learned like a month ago that the political parties are under no obligation to take the party members' vote into account when selecting their primary delegate. Colorado Republicans just up and went and gave all the delegates to Cruz without a vote.
That's the system we live in. There's fine fucking print that nobody bothered to fucking read. It's too fucking bad that we didn't take the time to bother but it's there (or isn't there as the case may be). If I quit my job tomorrow, I can't talk shit about my company for two years without getting sued - some people may get pissy about that but it's in the fucking agreement.
I'm not justifying government surveillance. I'm just saying it's a shit system we live in and the last thing we should care about is whether or not Microsoft is categorizing our hentai for us. And the very first thing we need to solve is getting rid of the corruption; and once you do that, everything else will fall into place. But fixing this one narrow and specific thing doesn't mean it won't happen elsewhere if we don't fix the corruption.

Your updater is probably broken. You can download a fix file that will verify the integrity of your update files and fix them if necessary.

Except that it's impossible to fix corruption without mass purges and tearing down the established order and it would be far easier to get up in arms about shitty corporate policies of certain companies that provide a service.
