Is It Too Late To Return To Win 7?

>Is it too late to go back to pic related?
>Back when I used Windows 7 I felt like I was using my own computer (which it is indeed). Now that I am working on this goddamned garbage called '''''''''''''''''''Windows 10'''''''''''''''''' I feel like I am using a fucking public computer that has been worn out more than a 70 year old Russian prostitute.
>Tell me, /g/ fags, should just go back to windows 7 or wait for the next major W10 update?

You need blackbird either way now.

>>58844504
I use 7 just fine on my desktop, two laptops, and my new XPS15. No reason to use the shitfest that is winblows 10 or 8.

The problem in your computer's OS is not 7 nor 10, but windows

>>58844504
Depends on your hardware. I tried installing Windows 7 on a new laptop I got and it ran like shit and couldn't identify my SSD. Creator's Update looks bretty good desu, hopefully Microsoft finds their mind again and lightens up on the constant fucking ads and prompts.

Or just move over to Fedora.

And what?

>>58845664
You could run a whole OS and that CPU and RAM usage.

>>58845664
Kill yourself, retard.

It depends on your hardware. Windows 7 is still perfectly functional otherwise, and it still gets security updates. The only thing you might be missing out on would be the latest DirectX. From what I can tell, Windows 10 isn't going to exit beta status nor end spying and forcing settings on the user anywhere in the foreseeable future.

I don't see why you would use windows anymore. At lest for me, everything I used to do in windows works fine in Linux.

/g/ windows fanboys are severely autistic IMHO

140mb just for the file manager, anti malware and some weird indexing program. That's still a whole OS worth of memory abused by bloatware.

>>58845690
I've never personally seen that telemetry process and I'm seriously starting to think that might be a Windows Insider only thing. Putting a screenshot like that without context is pretty stupid IMO.

>muh ram
Stop using toasters. 200mbs of RAM usage is nothing with modern hardware. I bet you use some meme distro with i3.

Speaking of windows 7, is there any way to get it without buying a CD and key code?

>>58845964
original iso + ms toolkit

>>58845893
I use xubuntu, uses barely 200mb, so I can use my RAM for stuff I actually need. The whole thing needs barely a few GB of space on the disk. Which also means more space on my SSD. Keep throwing more hardware at your bloatware, pretty sad you can't do more than that.

>>58845082
Let me know when Adobe Creative Suite works on Linux. I do actual work on my computer.

>>58845987
thanks anon. I just realized a majority of my families laptops run windows 7 and i have a chord that can connect to harddrives to copy ISOs. But not sure how to get a laptop hard drive out or if it will fit.
Is there any way I can somehow get their isos from their laptops?

>>58846034
copy and paste

>>58845964

https://github.com/pbatard/rufus -> usb flash drive -> install

protip: use a USB 2 drive on a USB 2 port; Win7 needs separate USB 3 drivers installed, so a USB 3 port is often a source of FAIL

find a copy of DAZ loader 2.2.2 -> activate

Is Blackbird legit? It promises to protect me from the botnet but how do I know it's not botnet itself?

>>58844504
I use Windows 10 on my laptops and Win7 on my PC, and just forget it dude.

They both have their ups and downs, Windows 7 is all-around better, but Windows 10 has better features (VPN, ISO mount, etc) and some really shitty ones (force updates). You get used to it eventually.

>>58845998
>so I can use my RAM for stuff I actually need
Like what? I'm not throwing hardware at my "bloatware", my laptop just came with 8GBs of RAM and I have no reason to hoard it. I don't want a subpar, shitty experience because of "efficiency"

Keep in mind that I'm using vanilla Fedora. GNOME is fantastic.

>>58846189
this

>>58844504
I tried windows 7 but for some reason it felt worse, less stable, it took too long to load anything (browser, file explorer, etc) than in Windows 10

This is with an i5, 16GB of RAM, GTX 970 guess i'm going to get cucked by the Windows 10 botnet forever.

Windows is kill. Go install Ubuntu.

what could go wrong?

>>58847085
Ok, what games are you currently playing where it matters? Or are you just trying to future proof?

>>58846092
Well, when I tried to boot it from a CD (since the flash driver rufus wasn't working).
I'd get to the booting phase where it would ask me to select a language and ect. However, my keyboard nor did my mouse work at all. I wasn't able to select anything. Not sure what the deal is with that.
Perhaps my computer is too new for windows 7? I got around last april or may and it came with windows 10.
I am able to go into secure boot and allow other OS to boot which is how I got linux on one of my hard drives but windows 7 is giving me a real hard time.
I chose windows professional 64
Anyone have any idea or suggestions?

>>58846092
>>58848055
I just saw your comment about the USB drive. Would that possible be whats causing me to have issues with booting windows 7?
My computer has 2 USB 2 ports and 4 USB 3 ports

If your computer originally came with 7 or 8.1, go for it.

>>58848398
Turn on legacy USB support in BIOS or anything related to USBs in BIOS. I wouldn't know where to look because I'm not using your mobo. Mobo should also come with a driver CD, you might want to dig that out or go to mobo site page and download drivers.
And the fuck is that Windows to go shit? Did you download the iso off corenoc or did you torrent it?

>>58844504
I have every intention of going back to win7/linux dual boot in the very near future.

Fuck this spyware bullshit.

>>58845553
Windows 7 has a far superior task manager.
The one in 10 is bloated. If you think the one in 10 shows more information you're retarded.

Yeah, no, go back to 7 before that shitfest happens again.

>>58844504
No. I use it for gayms because I can't get the GPU passthrough to work. It's 100% usable.

>>58844504
I use both 7 and 10. The only advantage 10 has is better/native compatibility with some new hardware.
If you don't need that there's no reason to use it.

>>58846092

This + don't use Windows Update at all, just turn it off permanently as soon as W7 is installed. Use Simplix update pack to get all the security patches without the back-ported botnet.

do you have an motherboard/laptop that uses bios instead of uefi?

if it uses good ol' bios, then i would stay on win7, otherwise i'd stay with win 10 + classic shell
