Nice to see the /v/edditfication of /g/ continues.

>>55391618
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Windows, is in fact, NSA/Windows, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, NSA plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning NSA system made useful by the NSA agents.

Nice botnet :^)

Fuck Win 10. Fuck M$. Fuck the street shitter infosys fag who runs it.

Think about the reason why generals exists.

I've had a problem for a while now on Windows 7. After a while, programs will just stop working. Icon will become generic, and opening it will result in "blank has stopped working". This happens on new installations, old installations, etc.

This problem has occoured on old drives, brand new drives, months into an installation or days after one. Can't seem to find anything about it.

Could it possibly be my ISO?

Good choice.

Can't decide which version of Windows to install anymore

Win7 - Possible security issues?
Win8.1 - Oversized tablet interface screens
Win10 - All that creepy spyware, Compatibility issues with older programs, But its the only one that will have DX12

Which ones? Don't fall for the "win10 is more secure" marketing crap

Windows 7 professional

BSOD on booting, and when trying to start in safe mode

can't repair from the 7 DVD

can boot with puppy linux on the ram no problem, and can access files on the drive

>>55393067
If you disable updates, you also disable security fixes. MS already did this more than once (packaging 10 stuff with security updates).

Yes, generals are supposed to be for containment of topics.

The problem is, Friendly Wincucks Thread doesn't offer anything to attract people who start speccy/video card/gayming laptop/PC parts/which updates to disable threads.

If someone can't be bothered to ask their stupid questions post in /sqt/, they won't do it here either.

And "Windows>Linux" troll threads and "le best version of Windows" threads are obviously started by shills, and their goal is to spread the cancer all across the board, not contain it in a single thread, so they will pretty much ignore it.

I don't see how this thread could be effective. I like it as a parody thread, though.

That bait is so old dude. Get some fresher stuff.
For newfriends: It's fake. RMS doesn't have a G+ account and the text is plain bullshit.

So I plan on selling my computer that I upgraded to windows 10. However, I want to remove all my drives and just throw another one in. If I understand how Windows 10 upgrades work, I should be able to just install win 10 on this new drive and it should automatically authenticate itself, right? Will it also automatically log into my windows account too or will I be safe that way?

I read an article that said your Win10 license can be connected to your MS account, so when you upgrade motherboards you don't have to deal with calling MS. When does that start?

>>55394071
Eh, ever since MS put licensing behind the curtain it makes me nervous.

For Windows 7, when I changed motherboards I had to call an 800 number. You type in some obscenely long code and they return another code that you type into Windows.

How can Windows 10 do it automatically? For all they know, when I swap motherboards I could be any other person.

>>55394023
>calling MS when you upgrade motherboards
lol, what?

>>55394140
see >>55394130

Windows 7 does online license authentication. If you change your motherboard, authentication fails and you have to call MS. It used to be a live person from India, but they made it an automated system where you type in a code and they spit back another code which you type into Windows.

>>55393983
And there's absolutely no way the gnu contribution amounts to a single steamy shit without the vastly more importent Linux kernel.

The GNU/Linux thing is just a sad attempt by Stallman and the rest to ride the coat tails of Torvalds...the wish they could make their own kernel but they could not and cannot. They are nothing and trying to shoehorn GNU into the common naming is pathetic as all hell.

It is and will forever be known as Linux. And if the GNU wants to be known tell them to create a fucking kernel...oh wait they can't. GNU will never be widely known nor cared about.

The world will be better when Stallman's fat greasy Hobo ass dies from heart disease.

Long live Linux.

For home use, Windows is just a gaming platform now. In fact it's best to keep Windows 10 on a separate PC, since we can't trust that it doesn't have an internal Ext3/4 driver that scans your other drives.

Acutally Linus took 10 years of GNU's work and added a kernel. A monolithic kernel which was already deprecated back in the 90s when he started developing it.
>The GNU/Linux thing is just a sad attempt by Stallman and the rest to ride the coat tails of Torvalds
Actually, it's not about credit, it's about reminding people that it's historical the GNU system wich was developed while Linus was still shitting in his pants, developed so people can have a free operating system and use their computer in freedom.

>the wish they could make their own kernel but they could not and cannot
Actually the GNU project is developing a microkernel called Hurd, which is better than a monolithic kernels such as Linux, but since it's a whole set of servers, it's much harder to develop, therefore it's not completly finished yet, but already usable >> Debian GNU/Hurd.

Windows is worse than linux, but the fact is that with linux you might want to modify it, try a new distribution, if there is a problem you can always fix it... While with windows you can't do anything, so there is no need to have a thread like this.

It takes a backup of the old install and doesn't touch your private files at all. You can roll back within 30 days before that backup is clean off.

Rollbacks are hardly foolproof and they're been reports of them being stuck forever, etc. Hell, that one lawsuit was a about failed rollback.

Because sometimes it's easier to start over than waste days upon days trying to troubleshoot shit that doesn't have adequate documentation or worse documentation written by someone in such a way that only they would understand because of their fucked up psychology.

>>55405826
Windows 10 has a thing called fast startup which actually suspends the PC instead of shutting it down.

I remember hearing about it but not thinking much of it until now. Is this the culprit? If I have an SSD in this laptop is there really any point to fast startup?

Why does Microsoft say they want new users, yet not allow you to just download the iso straight? I've heard of digitalriver or whatever, but why do they give you an exe? That's literally preaching to the choir. They have the activation shit built in, so why do they need to do a Windows check before getting the ISO? Makes reinstalling a clean copy for a customer more difficult if you aren't part of the botnet yourself.

Which you won't have access to unless you run the .EXE. Which you won't be able to do on a system that can't run .EXEs. It's also completely pointless and a waste of resources, because it has to "build" the ISO live instead of simply downloading it.

What's the actual process that uses the CPU? Try looking at it with Process Explorer or something, maybe it'll give you more info than just "system".

Or open the resource monitor and see what files on your disk get accessed when it happens.

>>55407317
MBR exists on your disk space, using something like DBAN to zero out everything would get rid of it. I wouldn't trust the Windows installer's built in thing to format everything correctly, though. Also, it's extremely unlikely that you even have one. It's even less likely that the drive itself or the BIOS got infected. A reinstall should fix whatever you have.
