Way to procrastinate.

That's probably one of the only devices I would be hesitant upgrading to Win10.

I grabbed my old 64GB SSD, wiped it, reinstalled Win7 Ultimate on it and took the upgrade so I have a nice clean image to clone if at some time n the future I decide I want to use Win10 Pro. Yesterday.

Don't want the POS full of spywares on any of 'puters.

I have it on three computers now. Painless on my Samsung and Alienware laptops, royal PITA on my old Toshiba (can't do a clean install for some reason).



I was debating on it for my desktop, but it needs a rebuild including a new motherboard and I'm not sure if it would carry over..

I did it earlier today after work, sucked out loud.  Lost shit I had, wouldn't run other stuff, went back to 7, happier now.

Maybe if I start with a new system, this PC stays on 7 till death.

Windows 10 is fucking AIDS, go with 8.1 atleast until the quirks are worked out.

Did my desktops, but my laptop isnt compatible (no W10 drivers for the NVidia graphics chip), but I upgraded, wrote down the new key for 10 and rolled back so I have the 10 key if I want it later.

Now to dig out my old netbook and get familiar with Linux again. Fuck you MS!

Can you give me some objective concrete evidence to support your assertion? Be specific, please.

MS did an unauthorized install of 10 on my computer that used Win 7.  10 was different but in some ways, like moving windows around on the desktop, it was far slower and sometimes froze up completely.  

I changed back to Win 7, it lets you move windows around on the desktop with no problems.

As always, 7 developed it's problems again, like telling me "Installing Update 1 of 11" and just grinding away on update 1 all night and not being able to update anymore.  Such is Microsoft, muchly defective, defective software from a defective company.  The amazing thing is that Gates became hugely rich from selling defective crap.

This will not end well.  No chance at all.

I'm running 7 partly because I'm happy with it, and partly out of spite induced by those fucking Windows 10 pop up windows. Which have since been blocked.

I had to replace a laptop that w10 effectively bricked. The replacement is running 7. I put software on it to prevent the upgrade and sent the developer a few bucks.

Windows 10 forced itself onto my mini notebook with proprietary work stuff that was incompatible for the last time. I hulk smashed that laptop right in my living room.
