We're using a licensed 2017 UK version of Windows 10 at the shop (back from when we were doing work for Northsea Oil and SaudiAramco). If anything weird happens I'll post it here. Quote

Heard that quite a few morons who not only use this spyware OS but also want to keep it up-to-date have already the bricked their SSDs with this update and are now unable to even see the drive, let alone recover their files. On top of that both M$ and Phison apparently are currently in denial mode. How so very "Millennial"! Ahahaha! Certainly wasn't the first time a Windows 1x update broke or brick something, but of course no one's going to learn anything from this again... To people still using Windows 1x, don't blame anyone, this is precisely the OS you DESERVE... 1 Quote

From what I've seen, the majority of Windows 7's market share gains are in Japan and Germany. It would be hilarious if people were really going back to Windows 7 instead of 11, and I could see Microsoft going after websites that host Windows ISOs. Of course, this assumes that the StatCounter data is correct. Quote
Doublezero Posted October 9 Author Posted October 9 I'll stop using computers long before I install Windows 11 on one. Quote
ritualclarity Posted October 9 Posted October 9 There is new bullshit happeing now. I am getting a warning about windoze being outdated and giving a countdown. Now if that happened on the actual windoze computer that would be one thing but it is happening on a windoze 11 computer. A WINDOWS 11 computer. Now lets fill in some background. This is a work computer. At work they have NO WINDOWS 10 MACHINES. Get that. So it can't be that they are seeing my computer and knowing there is a windows 10 machine on the system. There aren't any. I had to shut that down mutiple times today when I opened anything related to microsoft. (I believe mostly Outlook) for work. A blue bar across the top that messes with the information and other stuff. You have to address it if you want full control and get to business. Seriously, they need to go out of business and their source code released so that other operatiing systems that respect people can access it and make it compatable for older windoze software. 1 Quote
ritualclarity Posted Monday at 03:01 PM Posted Monday at 03:01 PM This just shows that Microsoft is a company that shouldn't be around anymore. A decent company would have an extension for Windoze 10 so that people that they can then update their computers. I personably like Ventoy. ( I haven't used it for Window install ... yet, but it works well with Linux and tools. There is no reason it wouldn't work for Windoze) I have used Rufus as well (but again not for Widoze) and it worked for all sorts of tools and operating systems. They all pretty much work the same and shouldn't have a problem. I mention that a decent company would just make an extension until a solid fix was done as they 1. want you to use their tool and 2. they are forcing an upgrade for a functional system. A system by the way that you can still continue to use after the discontinuation as they have security updates. Security updates that they can give if they weren't assholes and greedy mother fuc*ers. Let's keep in mind that many that use Windows. Correction, many that RELY on Windoze daily don't have the skills to fool around with this . This makes this occurrence extremely stressful. There have been some people that I have met that asked me to install Linux on their perfectly fine working Windoze computers due to all this stress and . I denied them doing it because it isn't just an installation. If they run into an issue, and they can't even install an alternate OS, they are screwed. Of course, I offered to help them through the process and provided various YouTube videos for this as well as sources of information. Even that, with me as a source to help, stressed them out so much that they said F**k it. All that Windoze is doing is screwing up those in most need for basic easy reliable computing. (Yes, I am spelling Windows as Windoze. .) Quote
ritualclarity Posted Monday at 03:25 PM Posted Monday at 03:25 PM With the upcoming death of windoze 10 how about a flash back Back to when Microsoft tried to make their computers as compatible as possible. I never upgraded my i386 to Windoze 95. It was too expensive and didn't make sense for me. Quote
