    So? The fact is the problem can still arise on Apples end.

    End of the day MS don't care what you are doing on Windows 10. They don't care if you are watching a cat dance on Youtube or playing WoW.

    It's literally paranoia. Nothing more.

    Quite a few people in the thread saying not to waste money on Win10. You do know that you can still get it completely free by saying that you use Accessibility Software, right? You don't have to provide any proof other than ticking a box to say you use it: it doesn't ask you for any previous windows keys, just checks your system specs are good enough.

    Yes, it only works for 7 & 8 upgrading to 10 and it may not be around for ever, but for now you can get a free version of Win10 from Microsoft.

    It will probably run just fine until they make some major change (expansion) and upgrade architecture that's no longer supported on XP. For example, bumping up the Directx version. Even then people find ways to hack around that. Blizzard won't officially support you though.

    Because they are overpriced, underperform for their costs and are unupgradable. It's just a laugh material for gaming and thumbs up for marketing, they seriously did a great job and spreading gaming laptops.
    So "they do" is your only source here? Alright then I guess...... Good to know your word of mouth here is a source that MS are watching me play WoW.....

    And again some people want the portability and ability to game. I bought mine because I mostly don't do anything intensive when it comes to gaming on PC. I like that when I'm away on work stuff I can use my laptop and chill with GTA 5.

    Also that laptop I linked runs a few intensive games quite well on Med/High actually.

    You have to call Microsoft on the phone now for this. They removed the automated portion shortly after a million articles were published on how to receive the free upgrade.

    Hmm is that regional, because I upgraded 2 windows 8 laptops in the office last week and it didn't ask me to that (EU here).

    Nope, just downloaded the executable and followed the prompts.

    I'm fairly sure that people came up with solutions for this, but last time i've checked windows10 at least gathers your biometrics (just like many other smart devices), and doesn't give you an option to turn it off unless you buy enterprise version of windows. Stuck with Home version? Well sucks to be you if you don't want us to get some "feedback" from you

    If you are referring to Windows Hello that is completely optional on both PC and Tablets. If not then expand upon the biometrics part for me.

    I'll have to give it a shot on my daughter's laptop. I swear on my grave it stopped working shortly after as I was like nice going idiots for ruining a good thing.

    The anniversary update gave you a lot more customization for changing privacy settings.

    But it still connects to bing at various points for some reason... even when you turn them off... haven't bought enterprise version, maybe it doesn't do it there, but paying extra for MS to stop recording what, when and how i type is just ridiculous

    The same googles gets off their google keyboard app - your "secondary" biometrics - your voice, typing and other parameters

    it's... behavioral analysis, that's what modern companies do on the internet, are you living in the past? The problem is that they bring it into your PC. Keep it to the browser window and it's fine

    No actual source then? Ok. Provide one or this is pointless.

    Show me that Microsoft are watching what I do, what I type and if I'm watching a funny cat video on Youtube.

    My rig does a cold start that fast with W10. W10 is a hell of a lot more responsive and faster than W7.

    Thank you. And good thing it can be turned off isn't it? Optional settings are the best thing ever.
