Once you have upgraded your Win7 system to Windows 10, your Win7 license gets 'subsumed' into the Windows 10 license. It can no longer be used to install Windows 7 as it is no longer valid.

>>55353492
Nothing. Also it's not true. Only thing the license prevents is that you can't have 7 with that license and 10 you upgraded from in use at the same time. I don't know if using both at the same time deactivates the other or what but that's the most it does.

>By Ed Bott for The Ed Bott Report | February 6, 2016

"The Windows Upgrade to Subscription tool, found in the latest Windows Insider builds, helps to manage certain volume licensing upgrades from Windows 10 Pro Anniversary Update to Windows 10 Enterprise. This binary file is not associated with the free consumer upgrade offering nor is it applicable to consumer Windows editions."

Nice try.

>>55353629
Anything that isn't the official source is assumed compromised. You need to bail on that Windows installation ASAP senpai.

Microsoft has been saying they were moving towards subscription since they launched Azure and Windows 7.

Really isn't surprising, they will eventually include LTE service as part of the subscription cost to try and act as a middle man between you and your ISP to jew you out of even more money.

Sure there is. If Microsoft starts charging a subscription for things I need that Windows 7 or 8.1 has then I'll downgrade then. Not that they will. That big scary .exe is used when you upgrade to Enterprise. I swear the tinfoil hats around here must be cutting off blood flow.

Microsoft already have a bunch of subscription products, Office 365 being the biggest one.

Not that I have any proof, but I'd think this would be a tool to upgrade the pre-packaged retail version of Office to Office 365, or the pre-installed OEM trial version to a full Office 365 subscription.

There's zero indication Microsoft are planning to make Windows some kind of subscription product, it hasn't been a significant profit driver for them for over a decade, they're just going to charge for new licences and stop the free upgrades on July 29th.

Man, /v/ is so delusional. The last version of Windows I paid for was XP. I've had Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and now 10 all for free. Are you saying ms is just going to magically start charging me money? Fucking Linux tards.

>>55357120

>>55353089
Which is great news for Linux since its basically the only alternative there is if people don't want to/aren't able to switch to Mac.

The Linux userbase will grow, more corporate software (adobe creative suite, cinema 4d, autodesk software, etc.) will be ported to Linux, there will be more noob-ditros, etc.

At some point, Linux will get close to Windows in terms of userbase.

This is literally the worst thing M$ could do and an incredibly good thing for ganoo-loonix users.

>>55357120
Last version I paid an actual physical copy of was Vista, came with a free full version (not upgrade) of 7 because at the time MS was in full backpedal mode. I guess technically I paid the OEM fee for 8.1 on a laptop I bought. Upgraded it to 10 anyway.

They would be breaking the license agreement for not using Enterprise. It's why no one has been successful at suing Microsoft for damages when their computers automatically upgraded to 10 and ruined their business. They violated the license and if they used Enterprise, it wouldn't have happened.

How did you do transparency?

What's wrong with this though? If you break down the cost of the most popular SaaS subscription packages (Adobe CC and Office 365) its usually the exact same cost, if not slightly cheaper, than buying the full version of the software in the first place.

I know as a fact that Adobe CC is actually cheaper than buying the full retail version every few years.

I doubt they'd add a subscription method to Windows because it'd run the normies away in droves.

My college professor talked about how the ultimate plan for Microsoft was to charge a subscription for all their locally running products by holding part of the binaries/libraries in the cloud, preventing the program from even booting without line of sight to Microsoft's cloud KMS.

This was a conversation in 2002. Welcome to the future.

>>55360585
And you obviously can't read.

Not updating leaves you with much more security issues and simply downloading all updates gives you telemetry.

Unless you fancy reading through every single update and believe what Microsoft writes about them.

Running an OS without any security patches isn't anything to brag about.

>>55360641
Oh well boo-hoo, one might even have to invest 5 minutes to briefly skim through 10-15 patch notes.

Yes, a totally legit reason to just update to Windows 10 since sure enough, you're getting all the updates there shoved down your throat without a choice anyway. You're speaking for tech illiterates only.

Ofc it's way over 150 if you clean install, who's talking about clean installs though? Have to do that shit once in two years at most, and even then you'd just check the list of suspicious updates and deselect.

After that is just patch days of 10-15 updates. Look at description, the files changed, done. I fail to see what is so hard about this. Only retards would blindly install every update after the Windows 10 push by Microsoft.

Obviously m$, a multi-billion dollar corporation that has gone out of their way a million times to say w10 will always be free for those who upgraded, and chsrged licenses full price outside it, is going to start demanding a subscription! I bet they will even encrypt your files like ransomware. What? You think they'd do something stupid and use it for office 365 or subscriptions servvies in the win10 store or cloud bullshit!?!?

If you wrote your game in Vulkan it would target the most possible people though, that's the reason the fucking API exists in the first place.

>>55372480
Yeah but you would get less performance.
Worse looks equals less happy customers.

It's the best if you squeeze out every last bit of performance, thus why people targeted DX9, 10, 11 and now 12. It makes sense.

Having lower graphical fidelity, just so people on Linux can run the game? Really? I mean, those bastards have a Windows partition anyway, or had one, now they have this "im a rebel rawr XDDD" phase. They will grow out of it.

Neckbeards don't want to play big titles. Apple computers are piss weak, except the Mac Pro. And even there you can just install Windows. You get the idea.
