Anyone have any success with getting rid of a pre-installed Windows 10 on a new laptop and installing a new copy of Windows 7/8?
I have a paranoid feeling Windows 10 is going to leave some rootkits and other nasty things. Like herpes, it never truly goes away.
if your computer is lenovo chances are it has rootkits in bios, you have to libreboot/coreboot

> wipe HDD
> Pirate/download Win [version] of choice
> Install
How could you have anything but success with this you dense fuck?

I can guarantee you the only thing that'll happen is you'll install 7/8 and realize there's no fuckass drivers, then come crawling back to 10 like a little bitch and just run OOSU10/antibeacon like the rest of us.

Windows 7/8 is no longer any better than 10 in that regard due to updates, go GNU/Linux or just dont bother changing.
