I think I'm going back to 8.1 too...and with classic shell everything was just nice....plus this lil netbook I using running slower....somehow I don't like 10 and all this control microsoft wants over my updates....though I set it as metered connection and can control when I could update I can't choose which ones I want....and I don't like how onedrive works now

Finally got my parts yesterday, installed windows 7 pro on it with the key activated over the phone you can activate the key as many times as you want but it has to be over the phone. Cause it didn't work online for me.

No idea if the ISO of Windows 7 I got was clean but matters not once the key is legit thats all that mattered I forced a download of win 10 upgrade, then did the factory "reset" which turns it into a fresh clean install. I think I have a motherboard here that will last me 20 years, and since windows 10 will be the last windows from microsoft, I made sure to get something really good with an upgrade path. In about 8 years from now I will buy a 4790K i7 for this board.

I got a core i3 4170 for this board, I don't mind upgrading parts like CPU, RAM and GPU. But its a real annoyance to change a mother board and reinstall windows etc. Then in future you gonna have to pay for a windows 10 so I figured now was the time to buy a proper motherboard. No more AMD for me. And with my intel SSD I should have no issues for decades to come as SSDs can't crash like an HDD.

I am more excited about DX 12 coming to Arma 3 Expansion in 2016. Just look at the incredible scope of that map larger than Tobago with no loading.

I've used 8.1 since launch with no issues.
I cloned it and upgraded the clone to Win10 and it's ok so far.
The VMs are used primarily for some coding apps.

Nice.. Thanks. Haven't used window since XP... But I need to run a program that's not Mac friendly.. Hence parallels...

Yea. I noticed that when I turn off my pc it still remains installing updates automatically.

Edge needs updating because it constantly crashes and too much pop ups. Else it decent

Google has a Chrome OS. It's used mostly in net books right now though because it is apparently very light compared to windows. Just look for Chromebooks on amazon.

My Windows 10 installation just automatically downgraded itself to Pro Insider Preview Build 10565!!

Laptop did an automatic update to windows 10. After got a message "operating system missing". Restarted twice everything normal now. Anyone experience this.

Update:

It's a new build of the OS. Cool but the watermark is a PITA.

Already did that. It's great that as an insider we get upgrades before everyone else but it's kind of daft that we need a constant reminder on screen that it's a preview build. If I want to know the build number I'll go into This PC>Properties. Oh and copyright 2016?... a little presumptuous!

A few hours remaining to get your FREE upgrade if you haven't yet. Yes after today you will have to pay US$119 for it. You can always rollback to Win7 or whatever u had and keep your Win 10 licence to upgrade at a later time.

got it to 2.9 on liquid nitro...now i can play call of duty 4 without lag on my gtx 1190

EFFECTIC DESIGNS · Postby **EFFECTIC DESIGNS** » August 2nd, 2016, 1:51 pm

Why do people buy call of duty every year even though its still the same COD 4 with a new paint job?

I don't get it people keep buying COD 16 and Madden 16 infact the number has reached so high we are at COD Infinity now. Anyways only reason I got windows 10 was for Killer Instinct. Was well worth it quite honestly I might probably get Gears of War 4 there is no point in owning a Xbox One anymore.

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/08/windows-10-anniversary-update-delete-partition

It seems that the latest version of Microsoft’s OS has attention issues. Not content with forcing itself on users who didn’t want it, it may be taking even more drastic steps of hosing other operating systems entirely!

A handful of reports surfacing on social media suggest, anecdotally, that the Windows 10 anniversary may interfere with, affect and even delete other partitions on the same disk.

If these claims are accurate —and do keep in mind that various different factors may be at play in these cases — it would be a pretty shocking situation.

Broken boot loaders on an update are one thing (even expected) but losing data, even entire partitions? That’s a whole other kettle of krappé.
