Updating Windows 7 machines to Windows 10

snipped the JamieTard's post.

I already posted the declaration that gives a hint.

Windows 10 is even less secure than Hillary Clinton's e-mail server.

You have a very good point, and someone providing such a document should include statements regarding such things, IMO.

And Microsoft should be required to provide a single point and click method of fully sequestering and securing any machine where such behavior is desired by the machine's owner.

And when win10 is EOL what then? maybe they turn it off and try to sell you a win11 subscription

What's your problem? They kicked you off the short bus did they?

After reading your content I woud say they are missing a passenger.

Most likely exceesive window licking.

Well the first problem is that MS has more lawyers. But other wise I agree. Way back when I loved DOS. I had different config.sys files, and autoexec's. I had this feeling I knew a bit about what was going on underneath. Pretty much now most of america has given up and bowed to the MS god. If someone could come up with a linux system "made for the masses", (who don't want to play with their computer config.) that could work.

n lawsuits,

p OS.

ee.

's.

you don't to play with configs, just install something like ubuntu

Immature putzes like you, for one thing.

You are about as mature as a freshly laid turd.

This, coming from a punk who cannot even spell, and uses 30 year old jokes to attempt to make a point.

That's twice on both counts.

What's the matter, immature twit? Is being busted and being called the immature 'spade' you are getting to you?

The word is "would", idiot.

The word is "excessive", idiot.

And 'short bus' jokes are only about 30 years outdated, pathetic chump. What's next, a trailer park 'jab'? Grow the f*ck up, childish punk.

Good idea. Hop over to the linux news groups and suggest that. I'm sure they'll recognize the opportunity and get right on it. ;-)

On a sunny day (Fri, 5 Feb 2016 19:35:02 -0800 (PST)) it happened George Herold wrote in :

Although I am not really a big fan, I installed Ubuntu on my laptop after removing what was likely some Samsung version of XP.

It installed in a few minutes, everything worked, GUI for those who only use point and click. And a great help community.

After I had Linux working that way, I added Slackware, as Slackware is mainly the work of one person and very linear in its inner configs, and started the more complex stuff. I do not remove Ubuntu as it is my backup if every thing fails.

But any system has a learning curve. I could not even have used the early 1998 SLS Linux if I had not used Unix before, and had a good book on Unix as help. What to type at that command line, what editor, what keys to use in it, etc etc. How to configure your network! As far as that is concerned you would like the Linux conf files ( in /etc/ ) if you liked the old scripts like bat files or whatever it was. It is not difficult. I have hundreds of scripts in /usr/local/sbin/ that have names that are executed as commands. My computah speaks English.

I had a similar experience on my daughter's Samsung laptop; the major difference was that installing a fully updated Ubuntu took about 1 hour as opposed to around 24 hours for a fully updated XP.

More interesting is that MS actively dissuaded me from installing XP....

The laptop's HD went AWOL, so I got a new HD and reinstalled XP from CD using the product keys printed on the bottom of the laptop. Everything went well until the reboot, when a *MS* text-based window appeared saying "shan't, won't, product key, etc".

MS said their text meant Samsung should replace it. Samsung said it was an MS issue. Rinse and repeat.

MS refused to help. Samsung would only help if I paid them the retail cost of an XP disk.

MS's refusal to allow me to reinstall something I had already bought lost them a customer, permanently. Nowadays I do almost everything in Xubuntu (bugger this flat touchscreen nonsense) with only a few things in an XP VM image. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with a gliding simulator with 3D graphics, though.

Linux made for those "who don't want to play with their computer config" is oxymoronic.

Android? Chromebooks? I'd include Apple's OSs, but they are BSD.

Not a good example of a reliable OS, at least as it exists in the wild.

Know nothing about it (why would I?).

Never used that, either, but Linux unix.

Well, now you do. They are linux underneath.

Neither is BSD.

Unix is not a product, it is a concept. There are many instantiations of that concept, including Linux. One very successful early 80s instantiation, Xenix, was made by Microsoft.

Anyone know about the safety/validity of "GWX Control Panel"....

you're so predictable I can win bets using your ignoramus upbringing.

No, I don't. I haven't used it since my last post.

Exactly, so what's your point?

Completely irrelevant.

Yes, you certainly are.

Yet you simply are forced to comment.
