FINAL DAY to get windows 10 for free

[Eleccybubb]

I havent upgraded because it will 100% be fucked up because I have bad luck.

But the biggest thing is, what do you do if you need to format? How do you do when you need to reinstall your Windows 10? Making your own CD I guess or have to buy a damn USB but even then, you dont have a CD-Key for that Windows 10?

You can burn it onto CD/USB from their website. I mean it's not like an 8GB/16GB USB is expensive. I remember burning 8.1 onto USB. Also there is an option in the settings to do a fresh install.

how will wo dro pwindows 7 support IF as MS states W10 is the last windows, Windows 7 will still be supported cos of the many thousands of people who dnt wanna use windows 10 and dnt care about as light FPS increase and DX12

[Laqweeta]

Apparently DX12 is only available on windows 10 - that alone is a good enough reason to upgrade i.m.o, i had no issues with win 8.1 but after hearing that i upgraded.

Exactly. Also, the boot times.. I am so glad I upgraded to 10. You can configure it so it doesn't report info to microsoft etc.

you dnt have to upgrade only reason alot of gamers are, is for AAA titles with the DX12 hgype and a few extra FPS, its not even worth it and just because DX12 is being updated doesnt mean its gonna be groundbreaking either, 99%% of people wont even notice a difference same as people who used DX9 and went to 11 didnt notice fuck all cos most people dnt give a shit, thats what alot of these W10 fanatics dnt get, that some people like me just dnt give a fuck

Be honest for a second, you know that people refer to "spying" as them collecting information. Sure, they don't have a team of people looking at what fetish Eleccybubb has, but they do collect a lot of data.

Wonder how many people who are afraid of this data collecting are on social media, or click ToS w/o reading, things that often authorize data collecting.

You are on the internet, every one is spying on you.

my Windows 7 pc takes like 5 seconds to boot cos its installed on a SSD drive, and if your booting takes longer go get some food and a drink while you wait

Wait are you spying on me now? @IIamaKing :O

So it's completely impossible that your hdd was on its last leg and just happened to finally bite it during the upgrade? </sarcasm>

I'd venture to guess that if you hadn't upgraded you would be making an equally ridiculous claim that windows 7 had killed it, or at the very least quietly decided that Microsoft was at fault.

You're wrong. I'm sorry.

Tried it out a while back and couldn't believe that Windows 10 manages to waste even more screen real estate than Windows 8 with no way to change it without registry hacks. (huge text, window bars, buttons, etc obviously designed for touch screen devices) Desktop customization options seemed to be even more limited than 8. Each release from 7 to 8 to 10 is trying its best to dumb down the OS and remove more options and control from the user.

Scratch that. You can reinstall windows 10 from within windows 10. It's called Reset PC. No CD/USB nonsense. Just press a button and it will do everything. Including format if need be. No need to input any keys either. Just login with your Microsoft account. And it takes 30 minutes tops.

Yeah I know about that. I just meant those are methods to have a physical copy right there.

What in the hell are you talking about? It was immediately obvious the moment I booted up the Windows 10 system the first time.

[Phantombeard]

Well...I did it. Took about 30 minutes. I had problems changing my screen resolution to 1920x1200, for some reason Windows 10 didn't recognize that setting. So I made a custom setting using my Video card. I have no ideal if I did the right thing but hey it was free right. I did get Windows 10 pro because I had 7 pro if anyone was curious. Other than that its all new to me. Wish me luck. So far everything seems pretty good.??

And I am 100% certain you are a minority, and I also doubt the claim that no one could figure out your info.

if anything the fucking taskbar and other borders are smaller in win10 (start menu slightly larger perhaps)
