I'd argue that Win7 is better for basically everything BUT gaming

It's not 10.

Attached: certified sweetie.gif (250x250, 141K)

it isn't, that's just you coping with your shit computer not being able to run new games.

It's not bloatware disguised as an OS

Mate you're about a decade late, Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows.

If a game requires 10, it isn't worth playing. Not a single game has released that requires 10 that I have wanted to play. I anticipate that developers will keep supporting 7 past Microsoft's final security update.

it's not pajetware.
honestly US devs were actually really considerate, when it's about quality and how people gonna use their product efficiently.

Nostalgia

aren't you supposed to be in school?

>BUT
look mum, me projecting.

Why has no one backed up using W7 yet?
It isn't just tribalistic "old thing good" nostalgia fuel from seething third worlders, is it?

I can't think of a single worthwhile game that's required W10.

look mum, me baiting.
>mm gonna use my birds folder reaction
xD

I remember when all the retards were going on about how shit Windows Vista and 7 is and how they were never going to leave XP, the "best" OS for gaming. Before then retards were saying XP sucks and they were never going to leave 98SE, the "best" OS for gaming. At least now that Windows is going to rolling release all that retard shit is over.

I think we can all agree that windows 8 was a steaming pile of shit.
And Windows 10 is riddled with "technology" that continually phones home your data even if you turn all of those settings off.
That leaves 7 as the only recent and viable option.

tfw I went from 95 to 98 to XP to 7 to 10. The absolute pinnacle of Windows leaps.

what. are you out of words now little fag?

go tie a knot and hang yourself.

Because you're delusional.

no, because windows 10 1709 is the best build. anything later is even worse

No hassle and no fuss, when I tell MS to fuck off and not bug me about updates they fuck off and don't bug me about updates in W7.

wow amazing reasons!
I haven't at all struck a nerve!

W7 users think they aren't being spied on?

Upgrading from 7 to was a real eye opener in just how outdated it was. I had a problem with several games in 7 where the refresh rate would just lock to 50hz for some reason, that completely disappeared when I went to 10 presumably because MS figured out that standard was effectively dead.

For the sole reason that it is the last surviving widespread OS for personal computers that is still supported defacto.

Many others in that place would have been as "good" or "better".

Zoomer third worlders haven't went through this shit before so they don't remember the XPfags

>Win95
>pinnacle of Windows

There's a reason people clung to DOS well after the release of Win95. It was basically the same thing as Vista and 8. Lots of kinks to work out and third party support was terrible for a good while.

It's especially funny to see people praising XP these days. It was fucking despised for quite a while. It had massive compatibility problems. I think when people say XP was great what they really mean is XP SP2 several years later was great.

You are getting spied on by posting on Yea Forums.

Yeah no shit

It just works and doesn't randomly break itself because Microsoft is too cheap to hire internal people to do the testing instead of forcing end users to do it. It's really hard to like the improvements 10 brings to the table when it has a track record of nuking user data and randomly breaking systems with rogue driver updates.

I was four years old at the time of using W95, user

>can't even play Forza Horizon 3

Please.

This.
Not having constant OS-breaking updates is a huge plus.

win7 does have worse performance in games, pc just isn't good for games.

Because you can disable desktop composition and actually play in borderless windowed mode without input lag.

XPfags were right though, because Vista was objectively shit and is still remembered as such. Even Win7 isn't that great, the only real advantage over XP is offering proper 64-bit computing. Win10 has literally nothing to offer other than breaking your computer with shit updates.

>the only real advantage over XP is offering proper 64-bit computing

You should probably not opine on technical subjects you are completely ignorant on.

If the best FF is now political what does the golden shiny wire of hope represent?

It's true though. 64 bit XP was crap.

significantly less than 10 if you know what you're doing but that's not even the goal. 7 is just better in usability. The whole tablet ui design is pure cancer. And they removed settings on top of that. 10 is simply garbage even if you don't care about the spyware.

>The whole tablet ui design is pure cancer
literally just turn it off and it's 7 UI but nicer

just get classic shell if you don't like the start menu

I was more referring to the "only advantage" part of the comment.

Windows 10 is better faggot

I have windows 10 on a laptop and windows 7 is way better, it's not even a competition.

you seem to forget how shit Windows 3.1 was. W95 was a real step forward and it slowly started killing DOS.

In what way?

8 launch was garbage, but 8.1 is honestly a great, overlooked OS. It boots and runs faster than 7, and the Explorer is better, too. All you have to do is install Open Shell and it becomes a faster Windows 7.

Attached: classic-shell.png (1264x757, 748K)

The problem is they simplified the whole UI. Things that take 3 clicks in 7 simply doesn't exist anymore in 10 as part of their clean UI ideology.

I get it that most casuals won't even notice because they don't use more than facebook and steam but it unusable if you do require those old functions that are now gone in 10.

The mere fact that Windows 7 updates don't randomly break shit alone already puts it way ahead. I had literally never seen a corrupted Windows installation until it happened in several machines at my work from the moment they installed W10.

>they simplified the whole UI
And by "simplify", they basically meant that now you can't disable shit like Aero.

I bought windows 10 yesterday. It was like $130 leafs.
Holy shit this is some intrusive fucking spyware. First thing they ask for is facial recognition. And there's ads everywhere in this shit.
Basically delegated to a partition from which I launch games. All other computer usage is done on my Linux partitions.

Forced updates are another vexing thing about 10. No Windows, I don't want to update right now. No, I don't need you reminding me in the middle of my game that you want to shut down my computer this second. No, stop rebooting, where is the cancel button... oh it's greyed out and you can't click it. Wonderful.

>you seem to forget how shit Windows 3.1 was

No, I don't. But it's not worth bringing up because that was back in the days when computer were still expensive and only for nerds and most people didn't know a lot about them.

Cool story bro.

>bought
>windows
yikes

Mostly the UI and the freedom you have. Everything is accessible in W7 and there is no integrated advertisements or overreaching microsoft software bullshit. Even if it might still spy on you, at least it's not in your way. The UI is also dogshit most of the time, anything that was ported from W8 should be removed entirely, I hate those full screen touch interfaces so god damn much. Not to mention the obnoxious apps and advertisements
I've been pretty lucky with W10 in that regard, only problem is that when I installed it the right click function didn't work. How the fuck that even happen is beyond me but it should serve as a pretty good warning.

I actually noticed this in a bunch of test machines, having to spam right click to get it working on fresh installs. Probably shit default drivers or something.

It's not good for anything except for eating your RAM.

ftfy

Same shit in our Corporate Enviroment of 1000+ PCs. Even worse our in place upgrade to W10 pushed through SCCM is terrible since most of the local clients aren’t working and random profile issues occur

It was sock money and I need some software for work, fuck you, you white honkey nigga.

Forza games
I'm sticking with Win7 + Xbone in the meantime though

If you are going to W10, I’d recommend the Professional version for GPedit and Regedit

Only way to remove Cortona

>he plays vroom vroom games
Lol, gimme a break dude

do your fucking job

Don't talk about shit you don't know about

My win 7 install is from 2011 and it still plays the latest games fine. Maybe the world did end in 2012 and we're in some sort of strange limbo state where nothing progresses anymore.

there's like 7 or so games that are win10 only
all of them M$ trash

I worked for JPMorganChase and they were really insistent on keeping Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 on their workstations and thin clients because of the issues that IT had been facing with W10 and Server 2016 deployment. They haven't even tried the 2019 versions because they never got 2016 to deploy in the branch without errors everywhere.

>rolling out OSs manually
You really are new to IT.
>buh they said on ma favrit forum that 10 bad
Didn't hear what the NHS ended up having to do no?

I stopped using Windows when that W10 adware popped up on it. Linux Mint may not have the library that Windows has, but that's just a sacrifice I'm willing to make in order to avoid adware and data-mining.

Plus, actually switching to Mint breathed a lot of new life into my old laptop, so I'm happy with it.

at least with that turd you can choose when to break everything and die

I´ve had 10 pro on my PC for half a year now, (and still have 7 on my 9 year old laptop in the living room as a spare)
I dont get it, other than installing Classic Shell and replacing the horseshit default image viewer with 3rd party one, 10 seems to be working pretty nicely for me. Games work, controls work, no problem drawing or 3D modelling. I´ve seen an ad in this thing like two or three times.
Maybe I just got lucky. I probably would have continued to use 7 until its support runs out but new hardware didnt work with it anymore without annoying fuckarounds so i just bit the bullet.

Windows 8 is better for gaming than 10. Windows 10 is shit even if you don't game.

With my experience I can understand it if they have incompatible software

With us we had all of our Avaya Software that took forever to work with W10 from the vendor , especially since we push out v1809 now.

But if it was just installing it with updates their engineers suck

Ive never had a problem with 10

I use both but 7 is by far the more stable choice

Recently I had an issue where 10 would auto update my graphics driver to the incorrect driver every time it updated causing blue screens. Every auto update meant I had to rollback divers. A huge pain in the ass.

Another issue I had was it just fucking stopped refreshing any sort of folder content and I had to F5 to get anything new to show. Turns out I had a CD in my drive and fucking 10 would stop to prioritize re-indexing the CD over displaying new values EVERY FUCKING TIME SOMETHING WAS COPY/PASTED

If 10 wasn’t literal beta garbage I’d consider using it full time. But I’m afraid that will never happen. So 7 for games it is.

What are you going to do once Nvidia and AMD end driver support?

Probably get a new computer. It will be time to upgrade the whole thing in a few years. And then go through the lengthy process of blocking all the spyware "features" MS implemented in Win10.

lack of enforced desktop composition + WDDM dictatorship is kept at bay (sound pipeline is fucked tho)

also,

scanline sync is the thing, gramps - get with the times

Vista was basicly beta for 7.

I work in the finance department at a telecommunications company and the entire department moved to Macs and a few W7 PCs because W10 was so dogshit.

It didn't matter refresh rate my monitor was set to. This was actually a pretty well known issue with MGR in particular but people were getting all kinds of shit with that, some as low as 24hz. Again, only windows 7.

I think that's one of the major problems with windows 10. It's not that bad for what it's trying to be, but what it's trying to be will always be done better by MacOS.
It's giving up its niche in the market to try and take on a corporation that will always beat them at this thing.

No better than Windows 10

The answer here is "its exactly because im an expert that i don't want w10, normal users simply don't have the knowledge to understand the issues"
If you're fixing everything they gonna respect your authority.

It's because the sad truth is that whatever tech the VR requires can't be backported to 7

>it's dogshit!
>why?
>i-it just is, o-okay?!

This is how my conversations with Macfags usually go. Not that Windows doesn't have issues, but people who shit on it usually have no idea what they're talking about and just want Microsoft to be terrible because that's what their hipster friends told them. I'm a software developer and I use both Linux and Windows but Windows isn't nearly as terrible an environment for development as a lot of Mac hipster devs seem to think. I always hear people saying "b-but it doesn't have a Terminal!", which is retarded because it has Powershell and that does almost everything you need to do in the Terminal as a developer. Not to mention that a month from now Windows will be getting a genuine fully-fledged Unix-style terminal, ending this "argument" once and for all. I wonder what people will cling to then.

Even MacOS is better about not forcing me to fucking update.
All I get is a little popup in the upper right hand corner that I can immediately dismiss and the shit will NEVER bug me or force a restart.
Meanwhile W10 will bug the fuck out of you and eventually FORCE you to restart your PC and update.
Shit's annoying.

Why the fuck you deploy windows 7 now in an enterprise setting when it's so close to end of life?

>dun need security updates is 4 fagits

I look forward to seeing you in the news for the next wannacry.

I'm not a developer, I don't care, I just want an OS that I don't have to fight in order to not have to deal with forced updates, hence why I use W7.

>Powershell and that does almost everything you need to do in the Terminal as a developer.
15 year old detected.

Not that guy but enterprises can PAY for updates yearly. And the cost will double each year.

Dude, the entire US military is using computer systems older than you are, no one gives a fuck about this retarded "m-muh security updates" shit aside from pajeets.

>lol u-ur a kid
>no arguments

What a shocker. Didn't see that one coming. At all.

Why would I get in an argument with someone who says such retarded shit? Wintoddlers are a joke.

Microsoft is not ending support of Windows 7, they are ending FREE support of Windows 7.

>I have no arguments and I must post

Literally exactly the kind of brainlet I talked about in the first post. I can't make this shit up, it took just a minute or two for a perfect example to show up. Pure fucking gold lol

with Citra in win10 Im get horizontal scanlines errors that werent there on win7

Imagine making an OS so shitty people are more willing to pay extra than move to "latest and greatest"

Maybe just stick to your "Power"shell, wintoddler. I'm sure you it's great. That is why Microsoft needed to appropriate Linux to get basic functionality, right?

High adoption rate and surrounded by two editions will low adoption rate

>Do you understand how many companies got infected with cryptolockers last couple years because retards like you didn't want to update their shit?
You mean like Spectre, Meltdown, and that other one?
All of which exploit hardware vulnerabilities and also affect people running W10?
All of which were fixed via microcode and motherboard updates that don't rely on W10 being installed?
What about them?

>can travel for a job
WAAH MOMMYYY!!

It's hilarious how you keep shitposting but aren't bringing up a single argument as to why terminal is better. Not one. Like I already said, PS does almost everything the terminal does. I never called it a perfect replacement. But you, like every other brainless retard who lets others think for him, just keep shitposting about Windows because you think it's cool and all your script kiddie friends said so. What a joke of a guy you are

If you're such an intellect, you really should be able to come up with better arguments than ad hominem.

>where to find the start menu now.
What dream world do you live in where that is the only issue?

What are you referring to as "almost everything"? This should be worth a laugh. Stupid wintoddler.
There is nothing to argue against. When a wintoddler gets all huffy about superior operating systems it is best to just watch and laugh at their idiocy.

Updating from 7 to Windows 10 gave me a 20 fps boost in almost every game I had installed and the boot time went from 40 to 10 seconds. Fuck you, I'm not going back

>THING IS SHIT
>why though?
>LOL I DON'T GOTTA EXPLAIN BECAUSE I RIGHT AND U WRONG

Truly the lowest form of "argument". Even ad hominem is more acceptable.

No one is paying that unless there's some serious business applications that are too expensive to update and the functionality is too expensive to migrate to a different software.

Sounds like a Shitvidia issue.

>I stick win7

I dunno man, sounds to me like you simply don't have an argument to back up your claim.

Not him, but W10 is shit because it's the worst thing that an OS can be; disruptive.
An OS should be seen, not heard, it should blend into the background and leave me the fuck alone when I tell it to, not bug the fuck out of me until I either get a different OS or download third party software to make it fuck off.

No, those are not the vulns I'm looking for. Check what happened to Maersk, Boeing, NHS etc.

Besides, Meltodown and Spectre still aren't fixed and at the moment it seems like they can't even be fixed.
>a total of 27 CPU hardware vulnerabilities versus only two belonging to those families at the beginning of 2018.

kaspersky.com/blog/35c3-spectre-meltdown-2019/25268/

As someone that actually works in an enterprise environment the biggest issue I have with 10 was removing The Compatibility settings tab.

Also I don’t understand how Pffice 365 has so many issues with W10. It was fucking designed for it

So in other words no matter what you do you have severe vulnerabilities, so what's the issue here again?

Nobody even claimed they were the same thing, but as a developer you'll be using them for much of the same tasks in each respective environment. Powershell technically isn't even text-based but object based, but whatever, that's not the point. I could argue that Powershell is actually a lot more feature rich than a Unix shell because it's not merely a shell but also an entire scripting language. I'm no veteran in development but in the 3 or so years that I've been developing software, not once has Powershell made me go "now if only I had terminal right now". When you know how to use it it becomes about as powerful as the terminal. Having a genuine terminal in windows will be great for people who are already used to working with it.

we're still waiting for you to come up with a single argument against it, but it really seems like you can't because you're one of those 15yos who's just installed his first ubuntu and now acts all high and mighty about it.

To claim that they aren't used for many of the same tasks is beyond retarded.

Every new version of Windows was spyware for the last 20 years yet the same people who said they would stick with 98/2000 instead of installing XP then claimed they would stick with XP instead of installing Vista or 7 and are now vowing to stick to 7 instead of installing 10.

This. It's literally "OLD OS GOOD, NEW OS BAD". This is coming from someone who actually prefers W7 to W10, but W10 is a far cry from what these faggots say.

No user, I'm really interested, please explain in depth.

It was the better option for a couple of years after XP came out. Pre-service pack XP was a dumpster fire and 98 was supported for a while.

You should learn what buzzwords actually mean before trying to look cool by using them. You have much to learn

Please tell us which features are missing from powershell. We're still waiting for you to even come up with a single one.

Terminal has deeper access to the OS than Powershell, making hacking easier. I've hacked so many things with terminal it's ridiculous. It's so much harder to hack with Powershell because it doesn't give true root access.

You're putting words in my mouth and then arguing against an argument that you imagine I made. This is the literal definition of strawmanning, retard. I never claimed powershell and terminal are the same. My very first post in this thread actually points out exactly that. Saying that the two are used for many of the same things does not imply that they are the same exact thing, you brainlet. I can't believe I'm having to explain this basic logic to you, holy shit. You are beyond help.

Nah, I have it on my laptop, even with ShutUp10 and the start menu replaced it still sucks.

Powershell has its equivalent to Unix's grep. Thanks for providing further proof that you have no idea what you're talking about.

You compared them directly. You can't compare them as if they are the same and then back pedal and say you didn't mean it. You must be joking at this point.

This is basically what you've been saying about the overall terminal vs. powershell discussion in general. Claiming that one is better than the other without any arguments whatsoever.

Nice misquotes, wintoddler. Try to quote actual posts next time and you will see the error of your ways. I said Powerchuck doesn't implement the feature properly at all. Not even an approximation. It misses the mark by a stretch.

Select-String is literally used for the same exact thing grep is used for. You're embarrassing yourself at this point, user. Cut your losses and move on.

>game needs W10
I don't think anyone gives a flying fuck about microsoft games

Nice baseless claim. Anyone worth their salt knows you are lying through your teeth.

>doesn't implement the feature properly

You keep making empty claims like this without any further elaboration. One could be excused for assuming you don't actually have arguments and are just shitposting.

You've still yet to name 1 (ONE) thing terminal does that powershell can't. Just saying.

>I'd argue that Win7 is better for basically everything BUT gaming
That's a funny way to spell Linux

the problem is new hardware now making win10 a requirement. when i finally upgrade my good old shitbox, i dont see a way around it.

I'm the one who told you that powershell has an equivalent to grep after you named it as a feature that powershell doesn't have. That's what's called an argument. And you're unable to refute it apparently, resorting to the good old tactic of "uhh I don't have time to explain, it's just better okay?!" lmaoing at your life

It's actually not m8. You just don't have anything to compare it with since what came later is even worse. But Windows 7 is every bit the bloated performance degrading piece of shit any version of Windows is, but proportinate to time of release. When it was brand new you wouldn't play games on it, you'd be better off with XP or even Vista. Just when XP was new you'd be better off using Windows 98, and when THAT was new you'd exit to bloody DOS to play anything worth playing.

This is what I'm gonna do, I have a bit of destitute PC (4gb RAM, dual core cpu, 750 ti) on windows 10 for the longest time and recently it was getting kinda annoying how slow everything could feel, downgrading to windows 7 however everything feels and runs much smoother than usual.

Samba v2.0 was released as a security update (essential) and Samba v1.5 backwards compatibility removed (breaking my usb share on my router but oh well).

But then it came to W7 and steam afterwards

Doesn't look like it's needed any time soon

You wouldn't. The clue is preloading the usb drivers.

Add the drivers to the windows install

You can see the changes it makes to your hosts file right there and where the other stuff comes from. Here's the threads where he talks about it.

no and it never has. i don't know where this myth started.

Not if you didn't install those particular patches.

no one badmouthed 7. Vista was the one who got bad mouthed at for all the right reasons. it even had an update that moved the boot archives to another hard drive

Really?

>shitty UI, microsoft advertisements and forced updates.

lol it is hilarious how fucking dumb windows 7 shitters are. just parroting the same myths over and over despite being proving that they are nonsense. why not find a new argument?

I have a windows 10 laptop right besides me, stupid ass

Yeah Win 7 was well received back when it came out. I don't remember anyone being as pissed about it as with Vista (which I personally never had any problems with).

It's well known how backdoored Windows is. That's why more pesos use Linux.

Reminder Win 7 is chinese spyware and all the people who actually care about their privacy are still on XP

like windows 7 wasn't completely used by normies you stupid fucking moron. and everything you said is wrong. wow so unsurprising.

>user thats almost 5 years old.
Wait, it is?
I thought it to be nearly a decade newer than my i7 2600K!

>literally never happens you fucking retard
Because unlike what you shills claim, it's no myth. My parents in law literally woke up one day and found their W8 laptop being half-way through the installation of W10, without any input from them.

I myself suffered of W10 (Pro) for roughly 6 months before I upgraded it to W7.

Theyre faster. Frequency alone doesnt mean much.

>12 was literally ported to W7 just moments ago
it is going to be on a game by game basis if microsoft thinks the game has enough base to support it.
and developers are waiting for the new consoles for dx12. the new xbox will use it and the engines need to be modified from the ground up to make good use of it.

Fun fact, wannacry made use of a known NSA backdoor to propagate which MS patched out to make 10 immune. You have a backdoor from NOT updating, not the other way around.

>Is it just more cores and power efficiency?
Quite literally yes.
I know folks who are still using the 1st gen Intel i7s or Xeons, and they work fucking great 10 years later. Such things would simply not have been possible a decade ago, when even the cutting edge components could become terribly outdated mere 2-4 years later.

But how much faster are we talk-
Meh if you can still install win 7 on ryzen I'm not going to forage for old cpus.

A Hat in Time works in XP. Just a heads up.

>d developers are waiting for the new consoles for dx12
Buuullshit! All true devs are focusing on Vulkan this day and age. Bethesda's all into that goodness already, Steam's making waves with it through their Proton magic, and all emulators worth their salt are implementing Vulkan modes for obvious reasons.

Meanwhile, DX12 is already 5 years old, has zero noteworthy titles that demand it, and enabling DX12 modes in games that allow swapping the API only tanks the performance.
In short, it's the new DX10. Fucking useless garbage that MS is trying to use as a leverage in order to trick people into """"upgrading"""" to Wontworks ten.

What's the issue with this? You know already existing drivers aren't deleted from the universe when "support" ends right?

This should be pretty obvious, user. A lot of the new games won't work very well with old drivers. Iirc one of the older Just Causes got 150% fps increase with driver update for a drastic example. New GPUs might not work at all without some advanced trickery.

No. You're being stupid, user.

moving to vulkan requires a much larger engine rewrite than going from dx11 to 12. and only id uses vulkan because their engines have always used opengl because of carmack.

Maybe you shouldn't have bought a jewvidia card?

Yes goy, update your drivers! You wouldn't want to miss out on performance upgrades, right? hehehe

wait you can do this? How?

Just because AMD drivers are 10 years behind doesn't make nvidia bad.

just search tablet mode in settings it should pop up. i have disabled tablet mode for so long i don't even remember how to get it back.

>moving to vulkan requires a much larger engine rewrite than going from dx11 to 12.
Or not, thanks to DXVK, which already works damn amazing, no matter that it has existed a mere year or so now.

Besides, which do you think is the smarter route for businesses:
>make a game exclusive to one system and OS, using tech owned by a multi-billion mega corp.
>make a game usable on just about any system and OS released in the past decade, using opensource tech you can alter freely.

You literally cannot.
One of W10's major pet peeves is the fact that it has TWO (2) separated systems working in tandem: the "classic" desktop style settings, and the "Metro" style mobile shit. Sometimes certain features have versions for both modes, but the classic form may only be accessed through multple clicks on the Metro / system hacks.

There's like 4-5 steps and a couple of programs you have to install and it is basically almost not exactly Win 7 again.

Windows 10 is completely fine now, I really don't get the 'use windows 7' meme when it just runs like shit by today's standards.

Ofc Linux runs better but still.

>there are people who dont know that windows 10 probably has a fuckton of backdoors that the NSA is gonna use, then lose to some russian intelligence agency that will fuck over thousands of computers like with windows 7
>there are people who genuinely trust microsoft to not sell your information, meanwhile ISP's do it all the time

>One of W10's major pet peeves is the fact that it has TWO (2) separated systems working in tandem
I'd be fired if I half-assed something as badly as this job

freesync works on my win7 install on 19.4.2 drivers

Just went to tablet mode and set it to desktop mode and it did absolutely nothing because I'm not using a touch device.
Okay so is it actually worth to try and do? If so I'll google/youtube some tutorials if I can find some.

All the hardware has backdoors too so we are fucked either way.

that choice was always there for developers and they majorly chose directx. there will not be a mass migration to vulkan. i guarantee it.

It was for me those 45 minutes I tested Win10 before going back to Win7. Just google it and use one of the top articles for "Making Win10 look like Win7"

so then it is already in desktop mode and you don't have to worry about anything. check the notification window. there is a button for tablet mode. if that is greyed out and unclickable it is fully disabled.

>Windows 10 is completely fine now
By whose "standards" exactly?
I loathe Apple with passion, but if I had to choose with a gun pointed to my skull, I'd much rather use Mac OS over W10.

Meanwhile, W7 just fucking werks.
It's snappy, light, no bullshit PC operating system. NOT a "service".

When Nana-san finally becomes completely obsolete (and no, it won't be the 2020), I've already been dual-booting a Linux distro of some sort for years. So far, the Manjaro seems based as fuck.

literally makes no sense. either pick botnet (windows & linux) or man up and get FreeBSD.

>Okay so is it actually worth to try and do?
If you are planning to get rid of all the Metro settings and Windows ... that's not gonna happen on W10. Period.

It was an AMD 12.x driver and I've never even played Just Cause series, you retards.

What's your actual problems with Windows 10 at this point?

I feel like most people on Yea Forums are just too fucking young or stupid but they buy into Windows pre-service pack 3 and they get fucking mad when it sucks before then.

Quit being a low IQ baby and following what other people tell you to use, also

This is funny. Those charts used to make 7 retards think they were still using a decent OS that could keep up in anything at all (even legacy shit). Then those charts started omitting China numbers and soon when they remove other Asian pc cafe numbers W7 retards will wonder why their saturation is at 1-5%.


It isn't anymore. Get with the times retard.

tl;dr: W10 is a DANGEROUS piece of shit, that looks awful to boot. It does NOTHING better than any of its predecessors.

t. 30yo boomer whose first GUI OS was Windows 3.1.
I would sincerely rather use Windows ME over this shit.

Go back to your MS marketing sub-Ieddit.

How does it feel to realize that some of us are not falling for your bullshit charts that don't reflect the reality ?

You can actually change all that in about 10 minutes.

Based retard lazy ass boomer

never made any statement one way or the other on quality.
you are irrelevant fag.
that is just because of an increase overall to a windows os. every month prior to this it has been a bleed from every windows os to 10.

who cares. not relevant to gaming.

>1-5%.
Reading comprehension much?

lol i remember that. when the chinks started messing up the statistics with their shit 7 systems, 7 shitters thought 7 was making a huge comeback because of widespread outrage over 10 or something.
nope turns out it was valve's statistics being wrong.

>You can actually change all that in about 10 minutes.
1) You should absolutely not NEED to change jack shit in order to make the OS tolerable.

2) You are wrong. Like said, I spent fucking WEEKS trying to "fix" W10 into somewhat usable state that does not leak out my social security details, home address and mother's maiden name.
Every time I got one thing done, something else broke.
At one point, NONE of the Metro-styled menus would open up any more, meaning half of the OS was unaccessible to me.

The only way to cure these bugs was to re-allow Windows Updates, which reseted everything to defaults, including deleting the important hardware drivers that I had to manually seek and install, because 10's own suggested versions literally did not work.

After SIX MONTHS of ping-balling with all sorts of hacks and shit, I just gave up and installed fresh copy of W7 on the device. Life has been good ever since, and it makes me extremely happy to know that some Microshill's day gets ruined every time I remind them of the fact that I'm one of the ~40% still using the superior OS.

Wait so spending 10 minutes to fix all that crap with like 2 programs or a couple power shell lines is too much but you use Manjaro unironically?

user are you just a fucking idiot or are you just this angry about something you don't even use?

Attached: 1548871989841.gif (800x450, 2.71M)

Well then. Nevermind. All of this garbage and the creator update is trash.

Everyone else except you care.
Steam's "surveys" have never been accurate, because there's tons of people who install Steam on everything from their phones to their mother's craptops, just to use it as their IM and social media platform. This is why you got a huge tower of 1366x768 resolutions and Intel HD Graphics systems dominating the survey results; it's full of literal secondary machines that nobody use for gaming.

And because W10 is the OEM operating system of choice for craptops these days, it's no wonder that it has now "peaked" so high.

Modern motherboards don't have a ps/2 port?

where are all these fucking advertisements and marketing?
what forced updates?
what terrible backwards compatibility? oh you know the main reason why windows always feels so slow and bloated? because of backwards compat faggots like you. you don't think microsoft could write a clean slate OS if they wanted? no they have to maintain outdated system shit for morons in the enterprise arena.
windows was always a service you fucking clown. you don't think the 7 TOS said they could disable your shit anytime they wanted? and all it really means is that they are dropping the idea of releasing a new OS every few years.
it does plenty better than 7 but by you stating completely wrong information already you wouldn't believe even if I showed you evidence.

>no freesync
but freesync works fine on windows 7

Nigger

They do, but do most people have a ps/2 kb+mouse?

It was made to run on 20 year old computers so it has much less overhead and resource consumption than OS's made to run on modern, high-performance hardware. So it has speed that gives the illusion of performance, when in reality nothing is actually "performing" anything - otherwise it would be using more resources. It's stripped bare compared to modern OSs. People are just retards that think a fast boot time means a better OS, even though it has 10% of the features that a computer which bootes 20 seconds slower has.

Incidentally, Windows 10 is still better for gaming even if you're on a fucking toaster.

are you a fucking moron? you are complaining of steam statistics gathering information from computers that aren't heavy gaming machines as an argument against me pointing out your statistics are from every fucking computer connected to the internet?

>w7fags wil never enjoy the best racing game ever made

You only need windows 10 for the windows store version, Infinite Warfare has a windows 10 version...with no one playing it.

>i drive a virtual car to imagine i'm driving it for real
sad

>10 minutes to fix all that crap with like 2 programs
You keep saying all this shit repeatedly. It won't make it come true.

Like said : I used everything from THE most mainstream "de-crappifyier" apps to some HC power shell codes. None of them worked as claimed, everything always broke something sooner or later. The whole OS literally starts to self destruct if you cut its ties to the Microshit's databases.

>but you use Manjaro unironically?
As if I needed any evidence to realize that you're merely trolling, but yes. Manjaro is way more easier, more comfortable to use, and I don't need to "fix" anything in it before using it. It also supports all my devices and their hardware, out of the box, and does not suddenly kill my audio devices or block my access to Start menu.

Same fagging is not cool m8.
There's endless waves of news articles, forum posts, youtube videos, etc, that prove the W10 to be a hornets' nest of bugs and spying. Merely pretending that there's no issue, just because you get your paycheck from doing so, will not make the OS "good". And it absolutely does NOTHING better than W7; it's already worse than W8.1, which is plenty bad as is.

But hey, at least you're giving me the jolly kicks by demonstrating how seething you Microdicks are from the fact that your scare-tactics and blatant bullshit-spreading are not working on all of us.
Not a single person in my family and in my friends circles will be using W10. If I for some bizarre reason happen to require to use W10, it will be a stripped, pirated copy through VM.

>are you a fucking moron?
No, but you are, lil shill boi.
I knew that your kin can't read.

Lemme try to hammer it into your head:
NOBODY (0) uses those EEE-PC equivalent craptops for gayming. Yet they are filling the Steam survey results, bumping up W10.

Also, literally NOTHING (0) states that the world-wide survey result would NOT include gaming PCs.

Well, I don't have the data on hand, but the gist of it is W8 was made to run on shit hardware (tablets) for the whole Metro push and W10 was coded as damage control by clueless street shitters. It's probably one of the first benchmark results if you search on Youtube. That said, the difference is marginal and MS won't fix the DX9 4GB cap bug on 8.1 out of spite.

Microsoft has pushed too much for Windows 10. Personally, I prefer functional computers.

Because what is the point of having two OS's on your computer? Especially when one is renowned for privacy and compatibility issues.

You just need one of the 2 for the installation, then you swap in whatever.

microsoft could literally release the current windows 10 as windows 11 just like they did with vista and 7 and all of you retards who pretend 10 is the worst thing to ever happen to computers would eat it up

The same billion dollar company that can't even release stable updates that don't break your installation?

Linux has come a very long way in the past couple of years thanks to Steam.
invidio.us/watch?v=Co6FePZoNgE

Linux for gaming, and ReactOS for everything else once they get comparability up to 7.

OSs evolves, one day w10 maybe better than w7, but this day isn't today

Sometimes I think it's pure luck. I remember installing XP SP3 when it came out in seveal computers and only one broke pretty hard

>microsoft could literally release the current windows 10 as windows 11 just like they did with vista and 7 and all of you retards who pretend 10 is the best thing to ever happen to computers would immediately turn your backs and claim it's awful and outdated while 11 is the best thing ever just because it's new

It's pretty much luck, but win10 seems to be the "unluckiest" seen so far.
