Give me a few good reasons why I shouldn't upgrade to 10.
How good is it really?
If you have windows 8
>Yes
Windows 7
>No
>>674330104
Nothing utilizes the software.
If and when anything starts requiring dx12, then look to upgrade.
And not to their shitty free version, but a pro or whatever they call it.
Free win10 > win8: but just barely. Its still comparability issues out the ass and preformance bottlenecks left and right.
>>674330104
>>674330258
>>674330421
Windows 10 is even worse than 8 or 8.1
XP and 7 for life niggers
>>674330621
Win 8 was literally the win10 beta test.
op here. i have 7 home premium, so its not worth it? i wonder why microgay is trying to cram it up our asses
>>674330938
No
Stay with 7 or you'll regret it
All my friends, wether nubs or not, prefer 7 over 8 and 10, and 8 still more than 10
>>674330104
It's shit.
>Downloading Windows NSA edition
>>674330938
So you realize what a horrible mistake you made and have to buy another OS/ the functioning version of win10
>>674331252
>implying they aren't already spying
>>674330104
well if 9 was so bad they just skipped it you really think this i much better...
>upgrade
Why is it worse than 8.1 ? Had to set up family member's computer he bought with win10 and of course it was fast because new computer and SSD so it's not fair to judge on that but based on looks it didn't seem worse than 8.1.
>>674331252
Because being on WinXP, Win7 and Win8 will totally prevent the NSA from collecting your info right mate? Right?
The only reason you shouldn't upgrade from any Windows version to Windows 10 is if you're a nigger, and have something to hide, or using SLI/XFire.
>>674330104
You don't care about win10 unless you play a lot of computer games and care about dx12.
If you want to improve your windows experience in a meaningful way, learn to use it more efficiently than you do now. Look up tricks, hotkeys, shortcuts, etc.
>>674330621
Fuck yeah XP. Who needs any level of security? Just blast my info all the web bro.
>2041 - 7 - 8 - 10
>using windows
Windows 10 = Windows 8.1 + (finally) virtual desktops + new bugs + spyware.
can the nsa collect data even if you vpn everything you do? regarding internet traffic.
>>674330104
I've found that it slowed my laptop down
>>674331664
It is decidedly worse than 8.1 *for tablets*. For desktops, it's the same or probably better by most standards.
well personally im building a new pc and want to put 7 on it.
i dont give a fuck about hot keys n shit.
i dont care about improving the interface experience. i just want a computer that will shit games out when i want and surf the nets with minimal bullshit
>>674331989
>using Linux or Windows
>>674332010
yes, if any government body wants/needs to bad enough, they can know anything they want about you. Not necessarily through your PC
my computer auto updated to windows 10 3 days ago, i really didn't want it but i decided to try it out. it was slower than b4 and had more bugs. only difference was that it looked cool. not worth it imo
>>674331853
>security
>implying it's not a lot more safe than 10 or 8
Fucking newfag nigger
I bet you're one of those faggots that actually need an antivirus to hold their hands while they go on their favorite gay porn sites.
Faggot.
>>674332010
Spying is hardware level now. Intel and AMD have been in bed with the NSA for a long time now. Our method of connection is meaningless.
>>674332010
depends, how much do they care? Are they affected by laws or can they just beat the shit out of you until you tell them? Are you already a target or are searching?
>>674332737
Really? Fuck! *deletes animal porn*
>>674332623
>WinXp more secure than Win10
>being this retarded
Oooooooooooookay then.
Security matters, because the Government really gives a shit about what a bunch of high school drop out, pseudo intellectuals are doing on their computer.
>>674332774
no just an ignorant fucktard who just wants to maintain a level of anonymity for the sake of it.
just crazy how they can monitor everything your pc does with out your consent.
>>674332737
> Intel and AMD
Spying processors ? How ?
>>674332432
>using useless technology fashion that is osx/ios
>>674332985
>windows 10
>secure at all
Nice try you fucking shill
How's it feel to be on a notably inferior OS?
Why don't you just switch to mac os or better yet, fucking kill yourself?
it spies on you
don't do it, OP
>>674333438
> Mac OS
Do us a favor and kill yourself with you fave giant dildo.
>>674331853
Retard
>>674333936
I don't have one I lost them all in your mom's pussy you retarded faggot
Go suck a dick shill
>>674333748
You can actually disable it from doing that. That's what I did
>>674330938
My Alienware box with Windows 7 died (after many years of continuous use)
My current Alienware runs Windows 8. I pray for death. Windows 10 must be some even deeper level of Hell than I can imagine.
>>674333349
ok, use a hardened operating system, probably some bizarre SELinux, or just be a very skilled windows user.
Always VPN, send random noise out that looks like network traffic.
Run garbage decryption and encryption tasks on your computer all the time to hinder covert channels that can learn keys through fan sound, power usage, load, etc.
Share WAN ip with many people, if possible rotating through multiple ISPs
Run your own router firmware.
Modify your browser to be hard to trace (uBlockOrigin, something to defend against "flash cookies" and evercookie, turn off all the privacy vulnerable html5 things, trackmenot, don't use chrome).
Crypto always. Learn about block ciphers, block cipher modes, and key strengths.
>>674332985
Don't believe the lie anon. Microsoft just wants XP users to upgrade or get a new computer $$$ if you know how to secure your XP it will be more secure than windows 10.
>>674330104
Install Gentoo
Op here. Looks like I'm gonna stay Win 7. 10 sounds annoying as fuck nevermind the apps and crowded interface.
>>674330104
Make sure you disable all of the extra shit and the cortana jew surveillance program
>>674330104
1. It sucks major dongs for gaming.
2. Cortana is stupid and also uses up too much RAM (can be disabled, just takes some registry changes)
3. Win 7 is still way better. At least for now, maybe when win10 gets some more support and a new service pack it will be good.
>>674330258
I can't disagree with you... at all!
However, you faggots should upgrade to Xbox 1 - the definitive gaming platform. Lord Spencer has ushered in a second Golden Age for gaming - Sony Ponies and Nintendrones, you better respect the BEST! @ZootPlays
>>674330104
rightnow i have no sound, unless i have earphones on
>>674333405
Don't know. You'd have to be an engineer to know exactly, but even a lowly tech student knows it's certainly possible to send bitstreams beneath the OS. Further, neither company will deny the deals exist.
>>674331602
Someone needs to send richard stallman to John McAfee's farm, where they can both chase chickens and be much happier
What is this shit?

Been planning on switching back to XP from 7 recently, not a newfag but certainly no haxxor by any means. Any suggestions for how to keep it secure?
