^^ this is a tool to create a standalone Windows 10 installation media ( USB, ISO, or DVD).

"If you want to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, you need to use the Upgrade this PC now option. If you haven't upgraded to Windows 10 yet and perform a clean installation, you'll need to enter a product key or buy a license in order to activate Windows 10. "

here's something cool ... https://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/

run the key finder to find the Windows 10 product activation key after you have upgraded...

Use that key to activate a fresh and clean install of Windows 10.

Okay that's weird I saw where my post was duplicated so I tried to delete one of them and both posts ended up going "poof". Oh well in short Win 10 isn't bad, it just takes getting used to. I read a review that gave a fairly positive report. The only negative thing they said was that Win 10's new Internet browser called "Microsoft Edge" isn't all that good. it's okay though, if you upgraded via a Win7 free upgrade you most likely have Internet Explorer 11 already installed. I'm not sure if a Win 10 O/S install Disk will put IE 11 on your computer but if not you can likely download it for free from Microsoft. Of course there is the option of using an alternate browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Opera.

By downloading windows 10 you are giving Microsoft access and consent to view and share your data. Unless you tick agree you cannot download it.

Why do you think it's a free download lol hey make their money back by sharing your data.

If you use any Microsoft software you're essentially doing that. They're not the only ones either, lots of companies have been collecting and selling everyone's information for years now.

I have been working with Microsuck products since windows 1.0 was put out as well as the first dos versions commercially, not just as a hobby.

lol windows 10

lol nsa backdoors

lol users jumping on a new OS so they can be the live beta testers

lol at the people still thinking xp was the last good windows interface

lol Microsoft harvesting your user analytics like google for money revenue and you get none

If it ain't broke what is the interest in fixing it? What benefits are the new and improved kernals/GUIs doing for you, what are the benefits that will make it worth while?

Companies are only able to do it with your consent and as people hardly ever read the user agreements they agree to it. However all I am doing is pointing out the main difference with windows 10 as opposed to previous windows versions as it was not part of the agreement. Once you agree, as this is essentially the operating system they can access all information and share it. Installed programs, Web browsing history even pictures you save and emails you send and so on. Why else do you think they are offering it for free

The thing I find annoying about those user agreements is the all or nothingness about them. It's all just a huge Catch 22. You have to agree to anything and everything they put in it, anywhere within those pages and pages of all that crap and endless legalese that nobody understands, all designed by lawyers so the user is left thinking only do they want to use that software or not anyway. So why even bother reading all that crap. If you disagree with one element then nope, no soup for you! Of course most people agree. But they just don't want or need everything they ever do or think used for public consumption.

Then they have to find some other piece of software somewhere that will stop just that part of the agreement they had to agree to in the first place just so they could use the damn software. It's a huge circular effort and pretty soon the user forgets why he even wanted that original software for in the first place.

All these silicon valley startup geeks thrive on that shit. But it's all crazy as hell. And those guys have absolutely no sense of what's right or wrong, they don't care about that or the long term consequences of what they write. They are just focused on what happens TODAY. They are just wrapped up in their own little digital worlds of writing code. I know because my son is like that, only he is in NYS.

Meanwhile we need more attorneys to write more tight-ass user agreements.

Yuh..., that's just what the world needs. More assholes justifying their existence by making life even more complicated.

my dad says, he thought photography was really great, because you can take a picture and show someone something where they weren't there to see it.*

god someone scrape me off the floor

like the boomer generation have pretty much crated themselves up marked for delivery to that big room at the end of raiders of the lost ark

cameras can steal your soul, if you go looking for it in the pictures. "i'll be jiggered, there it is!"

the only valid use for technology is rescuing people from it.



*think about that good and slow, like burroughs "death needs time for what it takes to grow in." the meaning may not be immediately apparent.
