I'm thinking about upgrading now but my system is kinda weird so I'm not sure whether or not it will actually work.
I've got a 64GB SSD which was too small for the os and all the drivers so I'm using shell link extensions to "outsource" driver backups, not so necessary programs etc. Does anybody have experience on that?
Also, I heard that it could cause problems with the modingtools, is that true?
EDIT: I already downloaded it a while ago and now I get random "reminder" popups which will initiate the upgrade if I click space (so basically everytime I write something it could happen).
It is not ready yet for frustration-less use, imo. I know people who have reverted since upgrading. I have also heard a mixed bag on the tools working/not working. And have been told the HUNK error behaves differently...For me it happens a LOT less often, but started happening almost 100% of the time on Elfen's PC, so I guess it's different.
the upgrade still free? all tho my windows update dont work no more keeps failing to configer updates for some fucked up reason

edit: i remember why i went back to windows 7 because my display adapter isnt compatable with win 10 are well nvm i guess
I went back because of the way Microsoft/Windows decided to make it so everytime you booted up your computer, you'd have to type in a password for your email.., plus the longer waiting time for it to start and such.Set up a PIN code then, that's how I have it.
Might just be me, but I hate how Windows 8 and 10 are.

I want to to type nada in order to access the computer that holds no financial statements, anything that any hacker can get. Is it easy enough to let your users of the OS have an option to completely remove things like that? Not without a program. Another thing is that they also love to sync stuff from your MS Account; stuff you had on a computer that had Win 8 on it. If you don't know, they sync your "contacts," your desktop bg and all that fancy stuff, I don't like fancy.What's the issue with you having a password protected PC anyway? Always good to have one.
TL;DR - Windows 10 needs some news features. Right now the things I see that are brand new is Cortana on your computer. This Cortana seems dumb, but whatever.
What's the issue with you having a password protected PC anyway? Always good to have one.I personally hate it, especially when it starts asking you for one, and you don't have one on that computer. That also happened. It wouldn't let me in. A reboot and an update fixed that. Then it kept going to the sign in screen after the screen saver came on, or just randomly when it felt fuzzy I guess, even though I have all my settings to not require sign in. But now that has stopped and gone back to normal. (I don't use password on this pc because it is connected to the family TV, which we use a little remote for, and I don't feel like typing one in to just watch netflix)

You're not forced to use a Microsoft account you know. ::)

don't get windows 10 if you have anything remotely private, its just spyware bullshit *tinfoil_hat on*Bullshit.
I used to boot into a functional state on Windows 7 in about 2-3 minutes, Windows 8.1 took that down to about a minute and Windows 10 now boots in 10-20 seconds. None of this was on a clean install.Can confirm, I have a cluttered AF PC and still boots pretty fast.

And longer waiting time for it to start? Erhm, Windows 8 and especially Windows 10 have had huge improvements in boot times... I used to boot into a functional state on Windows 7 in about 2-3 minutes, Windows 8.1 took that down to about a minute and Windows 10 now boots in 10-20 seconds. None of this was on a clean install.
Why would you need tutorials for that when you're literally asked if you want them during installation?
Except for a few less worrying ones which are one of the main-tabs of your settings...
Or are there any hidden features too? (and please don't say cortona :please:)
You can disable auto-updates:|
Also, all of the mentioned features can be turned off. If they WOULD still collect my data they wouldn't be allowed to use that against me, at least not in Germany.
Less worrying ones = sending data to Microsoft's servers when your not even using their services/Apps without you knowing. If you don't see an issue with that then you don't care enough about your privacy.
At the cost of not getting bug and security updates..
Other governments can still get your information if they really wanted it.Yup, but if microsoft intends to kill random people we're fucked anyways.
also I did switch these off of course
No shit, but has that ever been different?
Yup, but if microsoft intends to kill random people we're fucked anyways.
Yes it has, because before you could actually pick and choose what updates you want installed. Don't want that buggy nvidia display driver? You don't have to install it. Not so now, not without completely disabling updates and leaving yourself open to viruses and dealing with bugs.
WTF are you talking about? I was referring to http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/12/microsoft-tells-us-the-worlds-servers-are-not-yours-for-the-taking/ (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/12/microsoft-tells-us-the-worlds-servers-are-not-yours-for-the-taking/) .
Less worrying ones = sending data to Microsoft's servers when your not even using their services/Apps without you knowing. If you don't see an issue with that then you don't care enough about your privacy.Without you knowing? Erhm, it's all in the Terms of Service which YOU agreed to upon upgrading/installing the OS.
Other governments can still get your information if they really wanted it.Which is completely illegal. If any government were to request information they'd need to comply with the country of residence's privacy laws.

It's not about the holder of the information, it's the person the information is from which privacy laws apply to meaning if Microsoft were to give the US government a European citizen's information without their consent they'd be breaking the law.
You mean THAT way round, then at least microsoft wouldn't be the ones to blame.Basically you're saying: "I gave you this information as part of an account/payment/whatever but you can't store it for usage later down the line." That's not how the internet works.
Still it would be their fault that they stored all that info of course.

I'm sure after all the things i've searched without my proxy and annonymous identity browser, the government is probably already tracking me.
I get the feeling that almost anyone in here thinks that way ::)
That depends on what information is stored and what is not. A keylog for example is not what I count towards the "typically saved data".There's no keylogging... That'd be illegal even if they told you they were doing it. Microsoft aren't stupid, they know what they can and can't do.
On a normal browser? :lol:
If you don't want them too keylog you disable it. and if you don't web tracking get a nontrackable browser and use a proxy, also have two google accounts. One for business and the other for leisure. and whenever you do anything that is even remotely shady, turn n your prox and annonymous browsing, and your free to go.dont even need that, I forget what its called now but i got some program at home

This method keeps most tracking away. Besides i don't really care if microsoft is tracking me. I'm sure after all the things i've searched without my proxy and annonymous identity browser, the government is probably already tracking me.
dont even need that, I forget what its called now but i got some program at home
when i wanna be "hidden" i just turn it on. Now im hidden
Only thing is some websites wont work while its active ( bbcnews.com and dailymail.com being two examples )
But yea with it turned on, your untrackable ( ill find out the name when i get in )
What most people assume to be their governments or MS strange obsession with knowing what you google, in reality is just gathering info they use for "marketting". Theres no reason to assume otherwise ( 90% of people saying that have never had this info used against them - therefore have no counter argument at all )
I use tor browser and i believe masterkey is the name of my current proxy. and i use these mainly to get too deep web sites that aren't possible too find by normal means, and i use the proxy to protect from keyloggers and hackers in general. as i said before i don't really care if the government know what i'm searching. nor d i care if information about me is being tracked. i only use my proxy and annonymous browsing to defend against deep web hackers and other harmful things you find down there. besides that FBI_serv is just some guy down the street being a dick. his last one he had was. "Free porn on fileshare." or something like that but a whole bunch of people(mainly mothers) got pissed about it. You should've seen my mom, man she was pissed.it also works for tor, although no doubt, not as flawlessly
it also works for tor, although no doubt, not as flawlessly
tor is the only way i even know of to get to those places
Long story short tho, the government doesnt care, and im sure your last on the FBIs list - too busy dealing with huge crime syndicates and organized crime - unless your looking up "how to Jihad locally"
;)
how about how to make nitroglycerine, or C4, or here my favorite one how to make ballistic AN/FO high explosive. :troll: any way this will be the last post o this topic we've derailed quite a bit here.concerning lol
Well Win10 fucked up some of mine .map files (and some other stuff like videos) and i wasn't able to restore them :ok:upgrading a OS doesnt effect files like that "at all", should only touch the "windows" files for a "upgrade"
It'll be downloaded when you start the progress and it's about 3GB.

I had that issue back with win7 too, so it's nothing new :please:
And you can disable the auto-standby in your settings.
Lol, yeah, it is disabled. It's like it ignores my settings all together, lol. I laugh, cause it isn't my pc, and I only deal with it when she complains. I'm upset, cause I have to listen to the complaining a lot more now. ;) since the win 10 update.my sife gave up understanding how to use my pc long ago
