silencer_pl Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 For those who will want to do a clean install of Windows 10, having Windows 7 or 8.1, you can read this article TL;DR version 1. Upgrade windows 7/8.1 to windows 10 via windows update or media creation tool.2. Get the new license key using any windows key grabber software for example Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder (not recommended by me. There are some VB scripts to get new license keys so use them instead).3. Use this new license key when doing clean install.

NoXTheRoXStaR Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Windows 10 Solitaire requires a subscription to remove ads as reported by PC Gamer here... Eh. Two programs that makes things good. 1.) Revo Uninstaller Pro 2.) Drive Tidy Who the phuck plays solitaire on their PC anymore? As far as windows spying on me... I'm so xenophobic, and anal retentive with a dash of ocd for flavor. There's very little chance that Microsoft will be spying on me, and if they are, once the observation/information/algorithms are collected and viewed it's quite possible that some Microsoft employees will be quitting their jobs as a result. I'm joking...to a degree. If I read...one more...goddamn article.... that says Windows 10 is bringing back the Start Bar as a "reason to upgrade" I'm going to go into a coma. Has not anyone ever used Stardocks' Start8 before?! Hell, to be honest it looks even better than 10's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'm pretty sure we'd both be amazed by the number of Solitaire computer players. Besides, that is just the beginning, a proof of concept. As for spying... they have little to find about me that I'd worry about right now. Still, this is a potentially huge part of an e-big brother that may be impossible to fight in the future if we don't start now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoXTheRoXStaR Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Keep in mind that there are several programs out there that offer similar disabling options. In a tech forum I was reading several weeks ago someone commented that Microsoft will more than likely switch these "features" back on via an (KB?????) update. So bare in mind if you do use one of these progs, it's a good chance it's only a temporary fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 True, should be a pretty trivial thing to them. Though I'm kinda hoping they will eventually succumb to the pressure and disable such crap themselves - after gathering most data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
