AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

hahaha making old software obsolete
but muh DX12

I'm excited to see how many more group policy settings they take away from my Pro version with these updates. Missing options make managing everything so much more streamlined because I have less to think about and fiddle with.

>>55928205
>applelfags have more control than winpajeets
really makes you think

Holy shit! Who knew they will put out more updates in the coming year?

Well,they should fix first their AU bugs.

>>55928157
>Blast from the past! Clippy is back, now offering you exciting new Microsoft products from the Windows Store!
>Explorer.exe is being replaced with Cortana

Just installed it to my laptop.

Are you fucking serious? You can no longer tell to postpone installation and ask you when you want to install them, instead you get to set "active hours", max 12 hours a day, after which it will autoinstall and reboot when you aren't looking?

>>55930699
>postpone installation
postbone UPDATES

>deleting unknown partitions

Nice feature retard

>>55930699
>>55930712
Also I'm on fucking PRO. This is unacceptable.

>>55929377
>Microsoft
>fixing bugs

>>55930699
For the longest time, the bane of Microsoft was fragmentation and people not updating their systems. They really want that over.

>>55930728
Pro no longer means anything. It's going to be Windows (pay once) and Windows Enterprise (pay monthly).

>>55930759
I swear to god I'm going to find and pistolwhip the next guy telling people to upgrade to this shit.

>>55928182
Just so you know, 32bit versions of Windows can still run shit from win3.11

>>55930728
>>55930699

Turn of auto-update? Or did they take that option away too? I never "upgraded" to 8 let alone 10 but only fucking retards have ever used auto update.

>>55930779
>Or did they take that option away too?
Yes, since last year.

>>55930793

You're joking right? Windows 7 really will be my last Windows OS.

>>55930820
That option is no longer there

>>55930820

That's priceless.

There goes any point in upgrading my 290x EVER.

>>55930834
Even on pro, I mean. Only active hours and option to postbone the reboot when the time comes. Too bad if you're not there when that happens.

Speaking of which, there were talks about being able to skip drivers but I can't find that option anywhere.

>>55930779
Use the "network settings > advanced > metered connection" trick, though how long before M$ decides to take that away is anyone's guess.

>>55930875
You have to download a separate tool from Microsoft that allows you to hide/prevent a driver update from installing. But it's only temporary, I'm led to believe.

it makes me feel like i'll continue to defer updates

i thought it was pretty obvious the anniversary would be a shitshow. i'm holding off to upgrade until it stabilizes and i'm really surprised a lot more people didn't do this as well.

>>55930934
Doesn't work if you're on LAN

>>55930759
Basically:
Regular windows 10
>Pay for OS. Then get targeted adds in desktop so Microsoft can get even more cash out of you, along with sharing your personal information.

Enterprise
>Pay a monthly bill for an OS so you don't have to get adds.

Fucking idiots
>Hurry Durr were gonna make fun of people who jumped ship and use Linux as their main OS because we're too scared of what Microsoft might do to our gaems

A year ago everyone complained about windows 10 and ridiculed anyone even considering the update.

Now I visit /g/ and it seems like everyone is on windows10?

What happened

>>55931098
don't worry, i'm sure the year of the linux desktop is coming soon :^)

>>55931100
Newfags and gaymers.

Same. I was pretty much going to upgrade until the little bits about the lock screen and cortana came out. For the first time, I decided to simply disable Windows Update and see how the situation progresses. So far it's not looking good.

>>55931098
That's more or less the idea, but for the time being you can disable the ads and suggestions. Surely that option will go away for Home users in the near future.

>>55931100
Paid shills? Not exactly a secret that they are here.

>>55930699
stop complaining it's free :^)

>>55931140
about as likely as you getting laid

>>55931100
Shilling every single day without stopping. 10+ win 10 threads every day, some retards bought into "you hate start menu change" meme and switched as a result.

>>55931100
Sometimes you have too much free time and you want to try and confirm some things yourself.

You know, just so I can safely say I'm not talking out of my ass when I tell people this is downright horrific.

>>55931117
literally the only reason I don't use Linux is because it does not really support my 3200x1800 resolution with touch that well. I would have to do all sorts of tricks with packages I am not even aware of and it'll likely take me forever to figure out how the hell I get that to work.

>>55931092
It does.
Edit registry

>>55931092
I feel for you...

Honestly, I'm ok with forced security patches, but Microsoft really needs to offer people the option to decline drivers/feature updates that could potentially FUBAR their system at a moment's notice.

Not entirely true, Pro still has features that Home doesn't.
Like Hyper-V, and... Uh... Well, at least Hyper-V is very nice.

>cortana is clippy and no longer does what you tell it to to. Instead it just becomes clippy. Onlynow its a woman constantly telling you what to do.

Microsoft is slowly turning your PC into a shitty waifu.

You want to know what else is messed up? You now only have 10 DAYS to revert to your previous OS/build before your computer automatically deletes those files (previously it was 30 days).

The term PERSONAL Computer no longer means shit.

>>55930774
You should definitely upgrade to windows 10. There's no reason not to upgrade to the latest version of windows.

Do what I did. Upgrade to Windows 10 once to activate your license, then downgrade back to Windows 8.1/7. This way you can always upgrade again at no cost in the future if things get better.

So now that the free upgrade period is over and I never actually claimed my free upgrade, will they stop trying to push 10 to me?

>>55931149
> anyone who has an opinion I don't must be a paid still

This is literally how retarded you sound

>>55931346
Right !
Two points for Pro !

>>55931523
Yes. Though can technically still get the upgrade via assistive technologies.

>>55930803
Windows 8.1 still has that option, senpai

>>55928161
try the new Visual Studio 15. It's way better

>>55928157
I have ltsb N and im on administrator account and i cannot update to annie because i get contact administrator about update.

I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR U FUCK

the new update fucked my pc, explorer hangs after win boot sound,, cursor works fine but cant click on any icons
wat do.

>>55937674
Suck it up. Suck your masters dick and be happy about it.

>>55937674
Rollback and forget about AU. None of the new features are worth it.

>>55931523
There were credible rumors Microsoft was thinking of letting pirated copies of windows 7 upgrade to genuine Windows 10.

That way, Microsoft could easily get the 2 billion mark for Windows 10 users because India and China lone could give Microsoft 2 billion new users easily.

>>55928161
>Actually bought the premium edition of visual studio.

Wew lad

>>55937782
>Microsoft removes all Windows 7 updates and sets only a single update to Windows 10.
I can see them doing this

>>55931140
>Windows 11
They already said that Win10 was their last OS and that after that it will simply receive feature updates.

>>55931438
You missed the deadline, you dumb cracker bitch.

>>55937883
What are you talking about?
You don't need to pay for it if it's been installed on your system before.

>>55928583
Yeah. Makes me think Apple users think like that and are so delusional.

>>55939605
Someone finally used this komari reaction prefectly

Is there any particular reason win7 is such a fucking pain to install?

I get some retarded hangup at "windows is finalizing your settings" which never completes, and if I reboot it starts the OS up with fewer working drivers than the typical safe mode. No internet, no USB.

I'm trying to figure out how to unfuck this bullshit.

My best guess is to figure out what driver is needed for the internet, install that by using a linux usb boot to manually transfer the file to the OS hdd using an operating system that actually functions out of the box, then turn on automatic updates and hope windows can do the rest without fucking up (unlikely).

Why the fuck can't windows be as easy to install as linux ffs

parroting cretins.
monthly fee is an additional option to an already existing licensing options, its not going to replace them.

>>55939889
Don't know what you're talking about there, Windows 10 auto-installs every driver. I've put it on like 8 different laptops and desktops, only a few were missing drivers after. Oh, you're talking about the 7 year old Windows 7. Nevermind.

>>55940495
Windows display scaling looks terrible.

In fact, all display scaling on desktop OSs looks terrible at the moment.

For months now my win10 has, once a day, popped up a message telling me it is "Unable to install updates".

True to its word I have not had an update since this message began appearing.

My cortana also vanished without a trace, good riddance.

Have I been blessed?

>>55928157
Makes me feel like it's a feature, not a bug.

Postponing updates? It's definitely possible on Enterprise. You can set updating on full manual, basically. I have Education edition, but from what I know Enterprise is the same with a few added features
.
The only thing you have to do is remove the auto update tasks from task scheduler and not have Windows update service on "automatic" start. It's on manual (triggered) by default, so that shouldn't be a problem.

It also has defer upgrades feature, which should in theory make it so that you don't get updates such as anniversary update until 8 months passes. Beyond that it's just a matter of pressing the check updates button in the windows updater whenever you want updates, because it's not gonna do it itself.

>>55941743
35 rupees were deposited in your account.

>>55941830
I'm not saying that Windows 10 is good, I'm only telling you what is possible and what is not possible because I use it and I am in the process of exploring just that.

I really don't want you to use it. I specially don't want you to use the Windows store.

when is this update coming out? should I simply never install it?

>>55941876
You will effectively have no choice sooner or later, Microsoft has the ability to get developers to make their software incompatible with older builds.

>>55937782
daz activated copies upgraded to 10 just fine.

>>55940679
get the network driver and KB3020369 and kb3125574 installers to make your life a lot easier (its basically sp2)

The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

>>55930728
What you thought PRO was for professional?
Prolapsed
Rectum
Opportunity

Laptop with 5th gen Core processor isn't updating at all. Didn't find update, had to manually look for it. Then after it says it finished and reboots, nothing happens. I'm guessing this is due to dual-boot Linux distro with Grub as the bootloader?

>>55937872
They're copying Apple, when they hit OS X and every since 2001 it's been OS X 10.X.X

>>55928157
Nothing, because they already said years ago this would be the standard way of updating Windows.

Windows 10 will be the last Microsoft OS, which simply means it will keep getting updated with new builds every year.

Why are you so surprised, OP?
