i hate w10.

[Jake1702]

I saw some fools on an IRC chat today saying Windows 10 was better than 7 in every aspect. I asked them to name something you can do on Windows 10 that is impossible to be accomplished on Windows 7. 20 mins later... no reply. My job is done

Windows 10 also broke my computer :/ Now I have an unbootable Windows 7 install.

:sarc:

No it didn't, you did. You screwed it by dual-booting with Ubuntu which places the GRUB boot loader in a higher priority that the Windows loader. When you tried to roll back to Windows 7, it got confused about where to write the Windows boot loader. Thus you ended up with a corrupted master boot record - a classic 0x7E BSOD.

Next time to post a BSOD thread, read the instructions - that way you might get a quicker reply.

BSOD after downgrade. (0x0000007E) - Windows 7 Help Forums

Windows (10 or any other version) does not break computers. Stupid "I don't need any advice, I know what I am doing!" users do break computers.

Nice one Kari A machine will never deliberately break itself that's down to the operator.

I think that post #62 by Golden explains what probable happened.

windows 10

Hi Everyone, I like Windows 10, but still prefer Windows 7, and mainly stick to it. I broke my machine a

few years ago with the dual booting Linux with Windows 7, what a fun mess I made for myself, but I

managed to fix it in the end. I did learn a big lesson there. If I want to try something different, install it on

and external harddrive or a usb stick then I cannot break anything.

Hi,
Indeed I finally found this item that made life so much easier to deal with other os's and 7 is left alone by them all
Not sure how I lived so long without it lol

I bought a retail Win 10 Pro last Summer thinking I would get something finished with maybe a service pack or two down the road. The sinking feelings started a few days after the install which went OK but I could not make it look the way I wanted like I could with 7. It now has a bunch of add-on software and it is sort of OK.......But I really had to struggle with it to get it there. I have never updated the thing because I am afraid of the possible consequences. And the number of updates.?? My dream of a service pack or two has gone up in smoke. I give up. I am pulling the drive with 10 and installing my beloved 7 on a new SSD. 10 is probably good for some but in the final analysis, for me it came down to a matter of free will. 10 just seems terribly controlling and that makes me uncomfortable and nervous. I just don't need all that......

Hi,
I let 10 sit for about nearly 10 months after the anniversary update that took some group policy settings away from 10 pro
Now on the creators update which is not all that great either but some items did not reset like all other large build updates did in the past but still quite a few did still reset back to default

So yes 10 is a all in or all out type of os for sure
I'm pretty much done with it for a while no telling how long.

Heard it all before :sarc:

Yes I know there's one missing - I don't Count Millennium as an OS although I did use it as I have with all the others mentioned

Why is ME any less an OS than 95 or 98?

My favourites were 2000, XP x64 Edition, Vista SP2 x64, and 8 x64. I think 8 gives you the best of 7, but with no telemetry or GWX. The only thing about Windows 10 is that if you customize it a lot, much of that customization gets reset with the forced updates. And there should be a way to indefinitely stop udpates.

By the way, 8x does run faster than 10, and still runs everything current

I hadn't used my laptop at work for a little while and as a result it needed updating last night. So I ran the huge, operating system replacing update overnight and into this morning (lost a half hour's work while it finished the update), only to find that it had erased two of my unsigned drivers. After about 20 minutes of searching, I find the drivers. The problem is that I can't install them unless I disable driver signing, which requires a reboot...

I go to reboot, and lo and behold, Windows has downloaded another update! It gives me no option to do a clean reboot. I MUST UNDER ANY %$#%#$ circumstances run the update while rebooting. I lose another hour of work while this is happening, then another 15 minutes to finally upgrade the drivers again (which I should not have had to do).

Then, and only then, did I find that my USB ports no longer worked... driver issues...

I really, really, really, really hate Windows 10.

The Most HATED versions of Windows:
- Windows 10
- Windows Vista
- Windows ME

I would suggest not wasting a good hate on a operating system.

If you don't like a operating system don't use it. It's that simple.

I happen to prefer Windows 7 but I don't hate any operating system. The ones I don't like I don't use.

PS:
Their are many people that like W-10 and use it.

Each to their own.

[RoasterMen]

It's just a matter of preference people!

I happen to have the exact same problems with 10 as with Windows 7. With few services tweaks it's now smoother.

 

[Barman58]

Same here, I had no problem with either

 

[Layback Bear]

Another thought.

If one so chooses, they can use more than one operating system.
Many people use Windows 7 and W-10.
Isn't it great to have choices?

Microsoft actually change my computer more often than I am able to. When things start going wrong, who is going to cry?

 

[shadow2201]

I've been using Windows 10 since day 1 of it's release and I adore it! I still use Windows 7 and it's still fine, but for my personal computer, I'll never go back to 7. 10 can be buggy at times, but for the most part, I've had nothing but positive experiences with Windows 10. Just a personal opinion, but I feel both are great OS's and I'm happy with Windows 10 and will stay with it. Hopefully they can eventually get it stable enough for people to get on board!

 

[Joan Archer]

We all know whenever a new OS comes out there are going to be people on both sides, love/hate, it's just a platform when all's said and done for running your programs on. I've had no real problems from any of them, but I do like to keep up to date so as soon as the OS has been out for a while I'll jump on board and carry on using it till the next one comes out. If I had problems and couldn't run the programs I use on a regular basis then I might feel a bit grieved and want to complain but as long as I can do what I want on the machine I've got at the time I don't see the need to start an argument, we all have our own opinions and I like to live in peace.
