>>60695171
Wait 4-5 hours downloading & installing updates.

>>60695487
im not lying FF performs horribly for me even vs Edge let alone Chrome.

I was asking if there wuz some special brew or fork or w-e

I'd take Brave over FF desu it performs better, but still gets pwned by Chrome

>>60695171
Disable error reporting

REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /v "Disabled" /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f

>>60695171
Install Gentoo

>>60695383

It werks fine on Windows 7 for me, mate. Maybe it's slow for you because of Windows 10?

>>60695171
DISABLE AUTOMATIC UPDATES

Don't even bother with any updates at all.
Windows 7 vanilla is all you need.

>>60696243
Task Scheduler disable a bunch of stuff

Disable some services

>>60695171
My usual process is: Drivers, C++ Libraries, Update .NET Framework, Install any programs that I like to use on a daily basis and over time install the sotware that I ocasionally use, Customize my desktop however I like, disable any useless startup program and service (incluiding Windows Update) and then live happily ever after.

>>60695825
How do you back-up chrome extension? I know there are some dodgy files you can use since that's what I do to retain long gone theme, but is there any better way?

So I just installed W7, got a fresh install (am nott OP btw)
Should I run Windows Update?
I've always disabled it, but I don't know if it's the right thing to do

>>60697125
Holy shit don't even use Windows if you're asking stuff like this. There is no reason for an average user to turn off Windows Update. You know the type of people that need to turn it off? Large corporations that might be running mission critical software.

>>60695171
install emet
not kidding

>>60697311
>Large corporations that might be running mission critical software.
Nah they use WSUS like any sane corp.

You've never worked anywhere huh ?

Make sure not to update haha.
If you update you join the botnet, nothing wrong if you dont update.
Stock W7 is where its at. Just make sure to use Common Sense 2017

>>60696199
y would FF work slower and eat up more cpu on w10 vs 7?

Tell me where you found the .iso.
P-Please.

install vidya drivers
open cryptominer.exe

after 10 years, sell crypto, become a billionaire so i can only use apple products that don't need restoring, only upgrading for extra $$$

>>60698156

Depending on how old the version is, it won't even be able to connect to the update server, and if it can MS will start bugging you to download win10 forever

>>60695171
Delete it and install W10 instead, as it is a better, safer, more modern and more supported OS. Stop living in the past.

A very loose term. More like on the same network with an already infected PC. Still, you should disable SMBv1, it's of no use in this day and age. This will make your clean PC unable to get infected by the infected PC.

You use them when you have an SSD with another drive. It makes it so that you don't waste space on your SSD and put the files on your other drive; but your PC thinks it is on the same drive as it was.

No third party software running in the background is required. You just need to patch some system files to allow the use of custom themes, that's all; the instructions are on Deviantart, look it up.
