I'll be making a guide to show how to make windows 7 look like windows 10. I was able to make it look just so and it's still faster than the normal aero.

You'll love My guide. As long as no-one knows you listened to My advice, everything's gravy and you're with the in crowd.

Hi, have you had any problems, like when update starts and you are making audio or non-bootable OS after updates? Any audio problems?

Who f**king cares? Updates install all by themselves and your PC won't restart while you're using it so what difference does it make? Grow up, FFS!

For the record, I get updates fortnightly, every second Thursday. Occasionally I get a new beta to install, because I'm an Insider, but mostly it's just fortnightly virus definition updates. Would you prefer that your PC wasn't protected from potential threats? Of course, twice a year we get new version updates but theya re usually tied to a fortnightly update, not extras.

Actually, it's the opposite - Windows 8/10 use one-third fewer system resources than Windows 7, half the resources of XP.

What, exactly, do you hear about W10 that puts you off? I still have 8.1 on my 8" tablet, because W8 is better for small touchscreens, but there is nothing on Dog's Green Earth that would make me run Win8.1 on either of my main machines. Win8 isn't awful but Win10 is so much better in pretty much every way.

I've never had anything like that happen and I a) have 5 different device drivers installed, and b) work exclusively on beta/pre-release versions of Win10. Sounds like you were extremely unfortunate (or Focusrite made a mistake).

That sounds like out and out bullshit to me. The only time I get hassled to use a particular application is when I visit anything Google. Yes, Windows will ask you what you want to use as the default for different file types but once you set it, it never asks again. And a fresh Windows 10 install has zero bloat. I cannot think of a single thing I had to remove from my Surface Pro or from my Dell G7. Yes, the Dell has gaming features that are useless to me but it doesn't seem worth uninstalling any of it.

For me, Windows 10 has required by far the least amount of f**king about - it just works. It is far and away the best version of Windows ever and miles ahead of Linux or macOS.

No, what's bizarre is that anyone still uses a HDD in 2021. I don't think I've had one (internal) since 2010. Of course, at work our Macs all had HDDs but our new PCs are SSDs all the way.

Yes, all the time and I never even notice until I go to shut down and it shows "Update and Restart" and "Update and Shut Down". Even the last big update was like that and I'm on a 2015 Surface Pro (not a fast machine by current standards) so I'd notice if it was intrusive.

"windows 11" disk image was apparently leaked out of china and is all over the tech world rn. lol. they can't even do that right.

If you run your computer hooked up to the internet, you’re just going to have to deal with updates no matter what OS you’re using. Turn off auto updates and disconnect your computer from any internet/network and you’ll most likely never need to update if everything is working well.

That is, most probably, a fake

most likely not, but most likely an early build.

Let's wait and see. Anyway, one thing I am sure. It will not break compatibility with pretty much everything that's running now, as Apple usually does in any new version of macOS.

well, they CLEARLY stated, and i quote "our view is microsoft windows is not an OS, it's our view that windows is a service."

a lot of folks theorizing cloud based subscription service, so I'm kind of surprised to see a disk image escape at all tbh.

I tested this on my laptop and still WUPDATE sprang to life every day, I think twice at least and took 25% of all 4 cores and affected audio path on this particular laptop. This was on 1903. I used sledgehammer to turn updates completely off.

Ah, so you didnt have any problems. Ok. My experience was different on a lowend laptop and 1903 version.

Perhaps, just perhaps our experiences are different. No, it’s not bullshit, it just “sounds like it” to you. Daily, i’m asked “do i want to change my default browser to edge?-“fk no i dont. Almost daily do i want to use the pile of crap Office 365? No thanks, i’ve got LibreOffice. Not as frequently “do i want to activate one drive? No, the cloud is “someone elses computer.”
I guess i should have kept a list of all the crap i’ve removed but to be fair much of that (not nearly all) was thrown on there by the manufacturer not Windoze. So, it’s your opinion that i’m posting bs, not anything more. There a long list of other annoying sh*t about W10, for another time ( or not). Lastly, i am not one of your hater fans, i find most of your posts relevant.

Why does Microsoft hate us (#@$ Windows 10)
