“He makes himself out to be a database admin or something; he mentioned looking at databases in the last thread tantrum.
I know some smart database admins, but they usually don’t know squat about the nuts and bolts of tech.”
LOL!
Wow. Because the little circle of people you met are apparently stupid, you extrapolate that into “Oh everyone that does X are”?
And my entire usage of PC is limited to that? Seriously?
That’s the type of illogical nonsense I have no patience for with people that CLAIM to be tech literate.
So why dont you post your OP from that thread. I DARE you to show everyone here your VAST tech knowledge by posting that.

Everyone does not equal “some” or “usually”.
And not “met”, try “personally worked with and had to do common tech tasks for”.
Why don’t you understand the differences?

Are YOU “tech literate”? What qualifies you to be so?
My qualifications: I have been working in IT since 1986 (30 years). I have assembled PCs from the motherboard up since 1996 (20 years). My most recent job in PC tech (maintaining PC hardware, troubleshooting network clients, help desk support for Office suite and ~10 software packages of varying age) I held from 2009 to 2015.
BTW, check my post history for tonight. Rather than doing a VanDeKoik or the Linux version thereof, I actually tried to assist a person with Windows XP. I practice what I preach.

No need to dare me, son, I’m glad to share my estimates from anecdote.
There seems to be more empirical support for my estimations than not; you have not posted a rebuttal to the OP with any sort of numbers or a link or anything other than “You are a stupid poopyhead who I can’t believe how stupid you are Windows 10 rules YOU DROOLZ HAR HAR woop woop i winrarz”.
My OP:
So is it the number of machines or the method of installation that you’re disputing?
To be pedantic, no, it’s not 100% forced. It’s probably over 90% if you count machines bought with Win10 pre-installed.
Extremely few organizations have adopted 10 since going to 7.
Little old ladies who had 7 and 8 are nearly at 100% adoption rate, because of the nagware nature of 10.
“SHOULD I PRESS THIS BUTTON WITH THE SQUAHRZ ALL OVER IT, MR. OLDFATMAN?”
“Sure, anything is better than the old Windows 8 version you’ve got.”
“WINDERS WHUT? WHUT’S WINDERS? DO YA MEAN MAH SCREENIE THANG OR THAT THERE BOX THANG ON THA FLOOR?”
*facepalm*
But yeah, you’re going to find probably less than 10% of Win10 users installed it purposefully. And I’m being generous.
