How do I convince someone to stop using Windows 7 and use Windows 10?

You hang yourself

>>60552980
give them wannacry

You don't

Show them Cortana. It's so nice searching things with your voice.

>>60552980
Why? Windows 10 is garbage.

>>60552980
Keep shitting on the floor & tell them you'll stop after they upgrade to Windows 10. After they do that clean up with your hand & offer them some curry.

>>60552980
You somehow convince them that changing everything and spying on you is better

>>60552980
Kys, shill

>>60553052
Windows 10 is fine, stop being autistic

>>60553141
No it's trash. And 1703 build even broke GPEdit. Some policies do not apply anymore, even though it i dicates so.

>>60553266
Works for me

>>60552980
Show them the statistics on spyware 7 so they know only windows 10 respects their privacy

>>60552980
Tell them you'll kill their parents and then put their favorite pet in the microwave while masturbating.

>>60552980
It has nicer animations.

>>60552980
tell them that if they don't install windows 10, their mother will die in her sleep tonight

So if I'm building a pc, what os should I switch to? I know very little except windows 10 sucks and it invades the shit out of your privacy but not much else.

>>60557295
You realize that is an aliase to move two files from somewhere to the desktop that were originally png but renamed to .bin so that they could ``rename'' them to .png and voila

>>60557335
depends what you want to do with that PC.

Install wannacry.

>>60552980
You teach them that they should trust the state and the corporate no matter what, because simple examples of why that is a bad idea is totally not filmed gorillions of times by the movie industry.

I looked that up on the jew tube to see if that was real. Holy fucking shit the pandering to the entry level market is disgusting. The related videos are even more disturbing, who in the entry level market are they attempting to appeal to?

>>60552980
Soil yourself everytime they talk about windows 7. The association will finally drive them away from it. They will thank you later.

Then use Win10, anon. If you don't have your own opinion at least bother to learn reasons behind that opinion.
Most of it is typical underage de/g/eneracy. There are valid reasons not to use Win10, but you won't find them on /g/.

>>60559854
>There are valid reasons not to use Win10, but you won't find them on /g/.

Is >>60557276's pic not valid reasons enough? If not, please enlighten us about the real secret reasons not to use Windows 10.

Updates.

Nearly all wannacry ransomware infections were on windows 7 systems.

>>60561939
That's because everyone is still using win7

durrrrrr

>>60561939
Because Windows 7 is the most used OS, obviusly those statistics will put it in the first place.

>>60559670
If you installed an OS on any of my computers without my knowledge or consent, I would beat you up and never talk to you again.

>>60561939
As people are already saying, it's become most targets were government agencies and hospitals who aren't stupid enough to use Win10 in the first place.

You can't punch someone in the face if they don't even exist.

>>60562039
if we went by simple market share numbers than the wannacry infections should have been ~50% win7 and 25% win10
but instead windows 7 was 98% of all infections


>>60562109
>it's become most targets were government agencies and hospitals who aren't stupid enough to use Win10 in the first place.
Yeah instead it is people who insist on using an OS that reached its EOL without any proper precautions.

>>60552980
Help them experience win10 first hand by randomly pressing restart button while they are doing something on their PC and filming them without their consent.

>>60562209
Initial wanacry failed to propagate through other OSes due to poor coding. It targeted Windows 7 only, even though the SMBv1 bug was present on all versions of Windows. It would not even try to propagate further if OS was not 7. This does not make the OS any less secure, if that's what you're implying.

>OS that reached its EOL
Stop spreading bullshit, Windows 7 is currently supported until October 2021

>>60562277
>Stop spreading bullshit, Windows 7 is currently supported until October 2021
Unless you/your business paid for extended support Windows 7's end of mainstream support was January 13, 2015

>>60561920
>not valid reasons enough?
No, it's not. Disregarding the fact it doesn't affect end user at all, blindly trusting some random who supposedly ran a bunch of test on a VM is, at the very least, stupid.
He even might be 100% correct, but the complete ignorance of how the things work and what serves which purpose makes the whole thing largely irrelevant. The "Paint 3D reinstalled itself" part makes it look like a yet another bait a-la "you can't possibly turn off Windows Updates!"

>enlighten us about the real secret reasons
>secret
Being as autistic as you are would be such a reason.

Win10 while sports decent backward compatibility on a user level sometimes faces serious problems on dev or even (albeit rarely) superuser level. There's a bunch of stuff deprecated by Win10 that's still in use. And while it might be deprecated for a good reason, some people just need the thing to damn work without having to search for workarounds.
Examples of these would be the old Windows Help, p2p connections via Wi-Fi, some older hardware/device drivers.

Meanwhile, /g/ unironically believes Win10 takes photos of them masturbating to cartoons and sends everything directly to Bill Gates and FBI.

>>60562346
That doesn't make it EOL or change the fact that it still got at least four years of support.

>>60562348

>Disregarding the fact it doesn't affect end user at all,

Resource hog.

Makes usage the operating system by professional careers a question of violating confidentiality rules.

Exploitable for future security breaches, like more and more Microsoft "security" features these days.

>but the complete ignorance of how the things work and what serves which purpose makes the whole thing largely irrelevant.

Purpose is irrelevant.

If I want something turned of that means turn the fuck off.

"But it's useful information to..."

Fuck off you literal shill.

What the actual fuck does anything that you just said have to do, at all, with a need for or even the slightest attenuated relevance to telemetry data collection?

>>60557298
this is blackbox + some other shit, right?

>>60552980
You dont have to, Microsoft is already working on it.

HEY YOU! YES YOU! MY DEAR FRIEND... DO YOU WANT YOUR PRIVACY TO BE NON EXISTENT? YES? WELL FUCK YOU!

>>60562830
>What the actual fuck does anything that you just said have to do, at all, with a need for or even the slightest attenuated relevance to telemetry data collection?
You are genuinely stupid, aren't you?

>>60562346
Are you a retard? First you have mainstream support, where an OS is provided security as well as functionality/stability/performance patches. After that it goes into extended support, where EVERYONE is provided security updates for that OS (MS chose to sneak in botnet/telemetry stuff also, go figure). Windows 7 is currently in extended support. After extended support expires the OS goes EOL (slated for Oct 2021 currently in the case of Windows 7) and only after that it goes into CUSTOM (not "extended", but fucking "custom") support which provides security patches to those who pay for the extended support (releasing Wannacry patches for EOL OSes to everyone was an exception to that rule).

>>60564203
>to those who pay for the extended support
*to those who pay for the CUSTOM support, obviously

Windows 10 is genuinely faster.

But you should still install Gentoo.
