I already don't have that crap, so..

>>55817134
is it weird that i never had it to begin with?

>>55816920
>2016 / 7 / 29
What the hell kind of date format is that?
I can understand 7/29/16 or 26/7/16, but who the fuck puts the year first?

The price after today is so cheap that it isn't worth the effort. Windows 7 will be supported until 2020 and Windows 10 will be cheaper by then.

Upgrading then downgrading is only worth it if you expect to be incredibly poor in 2020 and using the same computer since the license is tied to your components.

In essence the deadline is a gimmick to get dumb assholes to massively convert to Windows 10, which is what Microsoft wants.

>>55817162
do you update your version of windows?

I've been using 10 for a while and I'm not pleased.

But 7 feels pretty shitty nowadays. Who's jumping into 8.1?

>>55817188
Checkem.

It's the international format sir.

In 2019, I expect MS to reactivate it and blitz the fuck out of every qualifying machine to upgrade at a discount because they're desperate not to have a repeat of XP.

now that it costs money i can finally pirate it.

>>55817293
kek kat.cr is down m8.

>>55817188
It's what eurocucks use. Anything else would confuse them.

>>55817210
"feels shitty" is not a valid reason

>>55817524
You're wrong. We use DD/MM/YYYY

>>55817524
>eurocucks.
>it's actually international
>people from australia use it, japan uses it, russia... etc. etc.

Anyone know how to deal with a black screen upon about 93% installation? This is the third time I tried and it happened, and for this last try I disabled my graphics card driver and switched to integrated... no dice.

>>55817544
It is. Have you never tried a pair of shoes that don't fit your size well?

>>55817590
Let it alone, it will black screen when installing

>Piggybacking this thread for help because I'm out of time and I need to decide right now.
I have a Lenovo Z50-75 and just downloaded all the installers for Windows 10 so I can use them once the upgrade is done (I have 8.1 unfortunately, so I'll hang around for a bit before doing a clean install with either 10 or back down to 8.1). I found this file in the Lenovo support page:

>BIOS Update for Windows 10 (64-bit) - Lenovo Z40-75, Z50-75
>Summary of Changes:
- Latest Version BIOS fixed all merged issues from previous.
- Version 40, Changes in this release Version 2.09
- Modified:
Exchange Lenovo new Logo.
String changed "Win8 64bit/Other OS" to "Enabled/Disabled" at BIOS setting menu.
- Notify:
Perform the load default after BIOS update is requirement.
This version is based on BIOS V2.08.
>http://support.lenovo.com/de/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-z-series-laptops/lenovo-z50-75/downloads/DS100825

Should I install this BIOS update before the W10 upgrade, after, or never? Please help a desperate nooblord.

On try 2 I had it running overnight.

You can suck my standardized balls

>>55817657
only if you can't poo to the loo. like this >>55817667 one

>>55817593
But you can specify what about the shoes is uncomfortable. If it's too tight, too loose, too firm, etc. What is about w7 that's feeling shitty?

>>55817665
no. That's a big deal I assume?

>>55817737
Worked for me

can someone just make a pirated enterprise 10 already?

I already tried that for two days, thread always goes to archive with zero replies.

>>55816920
This is your last day to upgrade to Windows 10 willingly. Automatic upgrades will begin when the countdown ends with no option to rollback. It's for your own good.

Should i upgrade from 7?

>>55818339
upgrade then downgrade :^)

>>55818581

kys

If i install Win 7 today, will I be still able to upgrade it today?

>>55818581
Microsoft will still release Windows 7 security updates till at least 2025
Only after 2020 companies have to pay to get them

>>55817524
> you want to sort files by date

I just finished downloading it but decided to stay on 7 after all. How do I delete the files, I want my 3 gigs back.

You can't ever completely disable windows 10 telemetry.
Microsoft is actively pushing towards making this ever harder to do as well - see the recent group policy change (which really insidiously simply ignores user settings altogether, without notifying the user in any way) for example.
You should not support this operating system.

No, Microsoft stated that W7\W8 only be supported on OEM platforms until July 2017. This has been pushed back to July 2018. I don't know what happens to non OEM models.

W7\W8 will continue to receive critical updates only, until 2020.

>>55821904
Uhm, no, Win 7 support is till 2020 and for 8.1 till 2023. 7 most likely will get extended support, XP-like, due to its market share.

>>55821998
Wrong.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/11675/windows-7-windows-8-1-skylake-systems-supported

Windows 7\Windows 8 will only receive critical updates until 2020.

>>55821998
>19. What is the support policy for Windows 7/8.1 devices with Intel’s 6th generation of processors (also known as Skylake) that was released in late 2015?

>Through July 17, 2018, new Skylake devices on the supported list will also be supported with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. During the support period, these systems should be upgraded to Windows 10 to continue receiving support after the period ends. After July 17 2018, Microsoft will continue to deliver all critical Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 security updates to Skylake devices until the respective end of support dates.

>>55821998
You know something about the Windows 7 POS version?

>>55822033
>>55822057
When has 7 received any update to make it work with Ivy Bridge CPUs? Never, yet it works. Same with Skylake, and same with whatever intel comes up next. Stop falling for piss poor marketing bullshit.

>>55822207
Probably like XP, and XP POS hjas support till 2019 or so.

I use YYYY-MM-DD. Everything is in chronological order on my computer. I love it.

if dubs everyone in this thread have to update to 10 and stay in it forever, no dual/multiple boot allowed.

>>55822407
Oh boy

Wonder how long it'll take for me to seriously regret my choices

>idiot detected
ever heard of standards? you must be from amerifat land then.

>>55822569
Considering you're spending your Friday night installing Windows and posting about it on the internet I'd say that ship has sailed long ago

>>55817190
>the license is tied to your components nigga this isn't Apple

So, I went ahead and upgraded, turned off most of the spy shit, but my Firefox overlay bar is like a bright, translucent grey/white. It hurts my eyes. How do I mute the brightness down on this shit?

>>55822623
>Installing windows
except no

if i upgraded to windows 10 through a copy of windows 7 with daz's loader is there any way I can get the CD key so I can transfer the OS if I upgrade my pc components

>>55822795
Yeah, you install a clone on your new HDD and swap the components.

Are you retarded or something?

Is it too late to activate?

>>55822795
You can call MS support and they'll give you a code to activate it for free

>>55822823
OS is tied to motherboard so it would be inactivated still.

I'm an independent programmer that has plenty of intellectual property on my computer. Does anyone know if my intellectual property will remain safe if I take the free upgrade to windows 10? Or will Microsoft get the rights to all of it?

>>55823969
Microsoft has full and exclusive rights to any IP made using their operating system but they will license that IP to you for a reasonable subscription fee.

If i don't pirate anything(except for the windows 8.1 i downloaded to upgrade to windows 10 of course), is windows 10 fine?

>>55824018
Is it the same for both enterprise edition and the free edition? Kind of annoying having the price be recurring vs a one time payment.

Ya all should just install Gentoo.
