What's honestly the point of upgrading to Windows 10?
>>58573602
>Only install security updates to avoid the botnet
Yeah sure because you can audit the source code of those updates right
Because it's not open source thus it has spyware. That's what linux users said to me.
W7 user here. SP1 + updates disabled. Everything works flawlessly and the OS basically does its job without bothering me.
Meanwhile using W10 is like using a badly coded tablet app with ads all over the place.
Other Linux users said that Windows is not open source so it has hidden skynet client. I don't know how to disassemble and check my internet traffic because I'm typical retarded Linux user but I believe to what other Linux users say.
>>58573602
None. WIndows 10 is a fucking joke. Garbage made for idiots.
Wich updates to avoid and remove?
>>58573628
Probably true then.

Don't bother updating at all if you don't have any driver issues or system crashing bugs that can't be fixed otherwise. It's not like you get a changelog and don't forget that it's a proprietary operating system after all, so there's not guarantee that anything actually gets patched.

DX 12 won't work on Windows 7. If you want to play the next generation of PC games you'll have no choice but to at least Dual-Boot.
>>58573639
>>58573702
>Updates disabled
Th-That's unsafe
>>58573718
Most games will support multiple DX versions, so 11 and 12.

How?

Thats only if you're an enterprise with a support contract you retard. Consumer support including bug fixes ended years ago.

I like playing Forza Horizon 3. Can't get that on W7.
>>58573733
I haven't seen a whole lot of games that supported more than one dx version and dx12 is a lot more difficult to just port over that with previous iterations.
A better answer would be "pray to lord all mighty Vulkan gets better support than OpenGL did."

>the point of upgrading to Windows 10?
touch? if you ever get a job maybe you can afford a tablet.
security? great for compliance (if you ever get a job)
speed? this is more of a productivity thing. again, job.
Come to think about it most people on /g/ dont really need a computer even. Just go play with toys.

What security? The damn thing's backdoored to hell.
lol windows fanboys
just use what you need and stop trying to boastfully defend your decisions
I use Free/ Open/BSD on two machines, Gentoo Linux on 2 others [1LAPTOP;1DESKTOP], Arch on my Latitude e6410, Win7 on my main games desktop, Win3.1 on my Sattelite, Win8.1 twice on two other laptops, yadda yadda and so on.
Could go on about my micromachines/pi's, but my point is, use what you want to use, don't be a rowdy tard about it by attempting defense tactics lmao
>>58573639
>ads all over the place
I keep seeing people say this about Windows 10. What gives? I've literally never experienced this.
That being said I basically never upgrade. I only plan on doing so if MS rolls out a better file explorer.

Nice tats, degenerate.
>>58576461
That doesn't mean that the operating system isn't secure, and there's no proof that there is a back door into the OS.

Just download the simplix pack over at
https://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/45005-Simplix-Pack-to-update-Live-Win7-System-Integrate-hotfixes-into-Win7-distribution
It has about 201 of the important updates and skips the telemetry updates. Just pirate the iso from somewhere(while doing hash checks) and run the Daz loader, turn off updates, run the simplix pack and that's it.
>>58573602
It does not wotk with 6/7th gen Intel processors so is useless for me.
>>58573602
>>games perform just as well
Not based on benchmarks. See The Witcher 3.
>>58576547
It does. You only can't use some power-usage related settings on laptops.
>>58576515
Why pirate the ISO?
Can't you get it straight off Microsofts website?
Yeah you can.

Wasn't there some universal key for Win7?
