Trying Win 10 Install Preview!

Re: Trying Win 10 Install Preview!

it's not as hard as you think.

first seperate what you do with what you "transmit".
what i have on my pc's is not the same as what i put in a browser.
and the distinction can be enforced if your not on windowze.

my fone is pay-go type wih no name against it, i only use it for talking - never for anything that would include financial or address info.

if you want to be a ghost to the terrorists, it's a lot easier than they would like you to think.

would you ask a burglar about security?
would you trust government or industry about privacy?

Re: Trying Win 10 Install Preview!

the old "nothing to hide" thing is bullshit.
information is gathered to sell, not to convict you.

i don't want insurance company's etc knowing i even exist.

Then what you want to do about that!
not have Internet , PC/phone/tv/cable/satellite/,that's your choice, but majority for sure don't want that,there is not two ways about it,either you expose yourself by taking advantage of the tech, that has its risks,or just don't use it,but these days it's not easy to live without it.

Re: Trying Win 10 Install Preview!

we shouldnt, i'm just reminding noobs that it's there.

For the spy thing,believe it or not it is everywhere,and no way to avoid it, as long you use any kind of tech this days connected to the internet, if you don't want to be spied on, just don't go in the Internet, don't use phones and so on,that's the risks one takes,besides
with me i don't care , have nothing to hide,i don't have nothing in my computer that is any good for spy's,only use web for surfing web and streaming,don't keep bank accounts in my Pcs,i'm more worried about damn adds and virus and malware, that can destroy my computer's health,the rest is bull that one has to leave with,you may take some steps to minimizing the spy thing but that costs money and is not bullet prove,nobody is safe as long you want to benefit from the tech.

Re: Trying Win 10 Install Preview!

will all the spyware be removed in the "release" version?

Apparently, but why should we believe that?

By default? Or is it "locked"?

if you screen is smaller than 8in then you got tiles!

So when you have a small screen, it wastes more space on huge tiles?

Re: Trying Win 10 Install Preview!

atleast theres a start menu and a classic looking desktop interface. If it was tiles and metro, its going to be another MS stillborn downs syndrome baby.

My thoughts exactly. Free performance boost for doing nothing is great, especially on a laptop where it is so sorely needed. Only caveat is I have to say goodbye to SLIC activation and use AutoKMS.

Here's a tip. Go to the Microsoft section in Task Scheduler and disable a lot of useless Microsoft events that do nothing but bog down the system.

I might have to give Win10 a try just for the new IE hardware acceleration in win8+. My mobile GPU is starting to lag a little.

these have SP1 in them too! If you need SLP/SLIC, swap the cerificates and enter the corresponding key when activating (what I do, anyway) after the install.

So far Win 10 Preview is working great from Win 7 upgrade from the suspect ISO,and hope it will keep that way,if not it will just take me 2 minutes to swap HDD to the original Win 7.

Also can you tell me please what is the difference between Win 10 preview build 9926 and
Current previews of Windows 10 such as Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9841, 9860, 9879 that will all expire April 15th 2015.thanks

Re: Trying Win 10 Install Preview!

I don't care about the source quality, as long Win 7 works good without problems .

When there are legitimate sources online for Windows 7 you should care.
It might be working correctly for you but there's a very big chance its been meddled with and your system is compromised.
