Thread: WINDOWS 10, free download offered.

OK...

Well guess I'm stuck with Win 8 until my next visit to Pantip. Has any member here actually installed a bootlegged Win 10 from Pantip or similar premises? And is it working OK?

It's not out yet.

Yes but I can't shut down the computer. That's a pain if I'm off to somewhere and want to shut the computer down.

I'm downloading it now, will probably install it tomorrow. Did anybody already try it ?

^^They had better get a move on. It's available.

I suspect that it won't be so easy; one of the drivers for this was probably to deal with the kunts that refused to pay...

There are new payment mechanisms which will make Microsoft yet more money and also lots more integration, so these copy versions will have Microsoft error messages and 'viruses' entering from all directions - they are gonna get you...

win 10 can take a hike - I will stick with win7 and 8.1

... which is exactly the reason why I don't want do go legal. I'm no cheap charley, there's a principle involved here.

^&^^ you won't be able to for long...

MS have changed, so now you'll all be paying outrageous annual licenses, and it'll all be linked in with Office, Skype, storage and loads of other mechanisms designed to fuk up you non-paying kunts. MS 8 users will get a 'free' upgrade to 10, which basically means that win 7 and win 8 will be left to die (no doubt with a few MS made viruses to kill them off) while MS only use one s/w with annual licenses for the future - zero options outside of win10...

We have a plan. L.I.N.U.X.

^ tried it, useless for work. Tried ubuntu and other things, nothing worked... I don't like MS raping me either, but if everything works and integrates to the cloud (my office docs always available on all my devices, up to date), etc, then I suppose I can learn to live with the $100 per year licensing.

Why is it unstoppable?

Just disable the Windows Update service if you're really freaked out.

It doesn't work like that anymore, as I stated above.

It lets you know when and what and gives you the option to change it; mostly they are in the background. When it's something that requires a reboot it tells you so and gives you options.

Now, I don't like MS, and I'd avoid it if possible, but for work it is unbeatable and it has improved dramatically. Enjoy your Linux and Ubuntu and Other, I have tried many and had far more problems with them than Microsoft (not that I haven't had problems with these bastards too).\

All I want is a system that doesn't bother me unduly, does what I want and always works. Windows10 is the closest I've seen to that.

Yes you can if you are local admin.

I don't get this nVidia shit.

If you install their latest driver, why would Microsoft try and update it?

nVidia being arseholes as usual.

Sorry Boo, but it sounds like classic PEBKAC.

baldrick, nice to hear from you. You wouldn't know of any laptop audiophile threads or audiophile aficionados on this forum, would you? What do you value most in your laptop, in way of performance? Games, music, other media?
