Windows 10 builds, Anniversary on the way...... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

So how much of your info is downloaded and sent to NSA with the current version?

Reminder that the free upgrade from Win7 or Win8.1 is only until July 29.

After that ya gotta cough up the dough.

It would be nice if they would do something about the long boot times.

Windows is a virus! Look at all the computers it had infested.

Well I’m certainly glad this thread provided some useful info on this. /s

Hold the line. Microsoft is notorious for releasing their stable revision on the first pass. I’ve held off on Win10 this long. I can wait a few more months.

In before the “I’m on Windows XP and it’s fine for my use” and “dude, just install Ubuntu instead” posts.

Upgraded to 10, still cannot get EDGE to open for me. Thankfully I had put Mozilla as a browser and it will open. Now I have Google Chrome and Mozilla as browsers and Edge still will not open. For some reason it thinks I am in Denmark or Norway.

Okay guru's. I've been avoiding upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7. I've heard of a few driver issues, but otherwise after a year, maybe the bugs have shaken out and I should proceed

Recommendations?

The above link is my computer building guru, Carey Holzman. Both my wife and my computer were built following his suggestions. He talks about Windows 10 forced upgrade. Holman also does videos for Newegg’s DIY Garage which can be found on YouTube.

The above link is from a guy named Jerry. He talks about the privacy settings for those who do have Windows 10 installed. He gives a in depth tutorial on what the settings on Windows 10 actually mean and a program from SpyBot that stops MS from re-enabling the settings to default after a reboot. He talks very fast, but plain. Some of the things he’ll show you about Windows 10 are quite disturbing. Don’t let his appearance fool you. This is one smart guy as you will see if you can stick with the video.

I recently upgraded my desktop pc to Windows 10. I did so to lock in the FREE part for that pc before the end of July when Microsoft will then charge $100 or more. I do like the better colors and and everything is snappier when opening and I now have black text for the taskbar buttons instead of white only.
I do worry about the privacy settings. Anyone know a good program to block microsoft phoning home even after turning Off the settings under Privacy?
Below is a link to some annoyances and some fixes.
Some Windows 10 help

Here I am inspecting Windows 10 before the install...... : )

About 30 years ago, I started computing on a Commodore 64. Then I moved on to an HP 150 running MSDOS 2.11 (It was a touchscreen computer in 1984), HP Vectra with MSDOS 3.1 then Windows 3.0.
I’ve used Windows 3.1, Windows NT 4.0, Windows for Workstations, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows Millenium, Windows XP,
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and finally Windows 10.

I’ve also been the HP-UX CAD administrator for our engineering dept ME-10 workstations.

I’ve used LInux Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, Fedora, Zorin, Android-x86, elementary os, etc, etc.

I currently have a couple of Android phones and tablet. I really enjoy using those. I also have an old Iphone 4 that will only use IOS 7.

In my limited experience with Apple, I don’t really like its closed, confining aspects.

I am currently trying out Cub Linux (Chromebook clone) and CloudReady (Chromebook clone) operating systems. I enjoy them so much, I just purchased a used Dell Chromebox 3010.

So I’ve gone from complicated operating systems to simple. I really enjoy just surfing the net on Chrome OS.
