So what's the consensus on this? With the free upgrade

It's a great OS that only Linux cocksuckers dislike for unproved and wrong reasons.

It's alright, useful mostly for games. I still prefer OS X for general purpose and Linux for devving

Simple - if you are going to make clean install of Windows - pick 10. If you want to just conitnue using existing - stay with 7, but upgrade and then roll back right away to keep key upgraded, just in case.

Win 10 is not as messy as everyone is saying, but it is not honestly much better than 7. Search function of Start Menu works really fast and have 8.1 native virtual disks mounting and thats basically all pros I found out.

Require work with settings at start, tho, for disabling a lot of crappy fuctions.

Microsoft is part of NSA's mass surveillance program "PRISM":

Microsoft informs the NSA about bugs before fixing them:

Micrcrosoft automatically downloads Windows 10 on PCs running
Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 (between 3.5GB and 6GB), even if
users have not opted-in:

> 44.5 billion minutes/month spent in Microsoft Edge.
> Over 2.5 billion questions asked of Cortana since launch.
> Windows 10 now active on over 200 million devices.

It's a good os. My only deal is that the UI is inconsistent and ugly. Everything else works like a dream.

Something Happened

go upgrade now. If you can see "Windows 10 is activated" on Settings then you are good to go. You can go back to your actual Os if you like but most important is that Windows 10 will be free for you in the future.

This is my experience with 10. I kind of wish I'd just stuck with 7 but now I have it I'm sticking with it because it's OK I guess. Some of the customisation is lacking as compared to 7, I'm not some autist I just want to be able to change things a little bit more and it's sad that they seem to be moving away from that.

It's buggy, is that enough?

Windows 10 is the new Windows 7. I don't know why you waited this long.

>>55663493
Garbage

The NSA completely owns the internet now, on a hardware level. The control 90% of tor exit nodes. They've cracked SSL and https encryption. VPNs are a fucking joke, unless your're using at least 5 hops and each hop is overseas.

If you even google tails, you're go from mass surveillance to targeted surveillance.

It doesn't matter what operating system you use. Even if you do set up a 5 hop VPN connection, you are going to look like a blown out light bulb on a 100 foot tall wall of lights. Your anonymity will be very obvious and very suspicious. Suspicious enough to focus a team on your online activities and see why you're putting that much effort into hiding what you are doing online.

>If you even google tails
people who are smart enough to know what tails is are smart enough not to search for it with fucking Google

>>55671358
that's not true at all. newfags lurking this place discover what tails is after reading about it on a thread and googling it.

>>55663493
atleast upgrade to Windows 10 before the free upgrade period ends, you can then install Windows 7 back, but it'll remember that you upgraded and when you install Windows 10 again it'll be automagically activated

>>55667519
No it's not buggy. If it's buggy blame your computer build.

The default media player in windows 10 doesn't play dvd's anymore, if you want to play dvd's in 10, use vlc media player.

>>55672490
>people unironically don't use their own media player at any point of any reality.

>>55671407
So once I install it, I will be able to install it later again even if I go back to the old one for now?
That's great, I didn't know that.

Either upgrade or switch to a non-windows OS. Windows 7 is obsolete.

>>55663493
>So what's the consensus on this?

If you intend to view child pornography then do not upgrade, otherwise go for it.

How will this affect my loli? Will Microsoft scan my entire collection and send a van my way?

>>55674017
