Had to Factory Reset my OS.

by
Windows 10 has given more problems than any other OS I've ever used.

And I started on Windows 3.0 and 95 way back in the day.

Sigh...

Getting situated in a new version of Widows is always a pain in the ass. But at least it runs better now.

~Love and Peace
 - Mako

PS: Art is coming, I promise. I've had a hell of a fucking two weeks.

If you need me, please feel free to PM me or send me an IM on discord or Skype, or come by the Ink Bunny Discord. I'm always around somewhere.


EDIT: I lost all my fucking SAI settings... Thank god I have an eidetic memory.

I WAS happy with it until the Content Creator Update.

Now it's giving me nothing but problems. I went in and disabled updates manually.

I like 7 and hated 8, so I didn't want 10.
What pissed me off about Win10 was when Microsoft was forcing Win10 on their users and installing it when people's computers were set with auto-update. They'd come home from work or get up in the morning and Win10 would be installed on their PC and their copy of 7 or 8 would be gone.
I wish you luck with your PC my friend.

Make sure to disable Windows updates in Services of you're using Windows 10.

You have to run it in compatibility mode as an administrator. I got KoToR to work like that. (But you need the unofficial patch or it crashes every ten minutes.)

I had Red Hat in the 90's. It was a pain in the ass to get windows programs to run on it.

Maybe when Linux has more game support I'll make the switch.

We have steam games. A lot of them xD and for the occasional game that's windows exclusive, There's Wine. (there's another program to help with that, whose name I can't remember)
MakoRuu

Yeah, but I'm told Wine requires a very powerful system, and it doesn't support everything.

You sure you ain't mixing up wine & VirtualBox? The later DOES require a powerful system. The former? Neh, not so much. Wine is not an emulator, but a compatibility layer. Think About it as you Speaking Spanish, going for a dictionary and this being in Turkish. Wine would basically "translate it" to a readable format. As for it not supporting everything? Partially true. Programs that are native to windows (like Microsoft office word or Internet explorer) wouldn't work as they require a lot of native libraries. Other programs work perfectly well. There are cases where a program wouldn't "behave" at first, but nothing to be worried: besides a few exceptions, most cases can be worked out with ease! Just check the forums. They have info about it there.

What Windows needs to do is release an open source OS
I wouldn't mind if it was not freebie shareware like Linux.
Though an open source version of Windows would be the way to go
Especially for fixing niggling details like playing DirectX9 games with Win10 and DirectX11
The memory allocation hard cap for DX9 games could easily be fixed. But Microsoft refuses to do anything about it. Because the problem affects only gamers. And they don't care. Gave the question of fixing that issue a hard "no".
Ironic, seeing as they have their hands in the market with Xbox and should at least pretend to care about the people using their products for that kind of entertainment. A second year programmer could easily do this. But they cannot. Because Windows is not open source.

For instance Skyrim does not make use of DirectX 11's Tesselation, Multi-threaded Rendering or DirectCompute. For all intents and purposes, It's a DirectX 9 game. Which uses some DirectX10 resources. Windows refuses to patch things like this. However a determined keystroke warrior could easily fix it.

Easy to see why such a detail is irrelevant to the company. On the whole, it affects only a niche market. A market they are willfully ignoring despite the pies they have their fingers in.

If they did that they wouldn't make as much money. And Intel and Microsoft are all about that paper.

Edited 6 years, 5 months ago by Owner
While that is true. Unlocking an older though now unsupported version could make sense.
Like Win7 for instance. It was a fairly nice operating system.
Do as you wish with it. Choosing to unlock the OS could be the users choice. However once it is, the product key is voided. If you break anything, there will be no support from the parent company. No mulligans of any kind besides backups you've made.

I used windows 10 for a while. I REALLY did try to like it, but I went back to windows 7 myself. Even bought a win 7 for my new c that came with 10. I'll wait a few years to see if they get all the bugs ironed out.

P.S I personally started out in dos 5.0 myself :)

It ain't so bad. What happened is that stupid fucking Content Creator Update wrecked everything.

Before that it was fine. I only had the occasional hiccup where an older program wouldn't work.

The only good thing I can say about Windows 10 is that it's better than Windows 8. So glad I still run 7.

Just like 98E, and XP, and 2k, you'll eventually be forced into upgrading.

Hopefully they'll have made something decent by then. I didn't think it was possible after Vista. Otherwise I might have to switch to Linux.

There's a program called Wine, that lets you run Windows Games and applications in Linux.

But it doesn't run so well, and not everything is supported.

Even more trouble than WinME?

Currently I'm using Win10 64bit, and havn't had a problem.
But the fact I built a new pc around knowing I'll be using it probably helps.

I consider myself fortunate I'm a bit of a hold out on OS's and stick with a known working one till long after everyone else has changed, often missing entire versions. So my OS history is rather short. 3.0, 3.1, 98, 2K, XP, 7, 10.
Not counting Dos before the release of 3.0

I don't get what you're trying to say.

Upgrade > get key > reinstall
The very first thing you do after upgrading.

When reinstalling, all old data is stored in a .old folder.
All other harddrives aren't affected at all.

I know, but changing your settings, reinstalling all that software and drivers, steam, games, video codecs.

It's takes a while to get used to everything. (At least, for me it does.)

Having the software on the second drive, and putting all libraries on that drive too, along with the start menu icons; and making sure you install the portable version of the software ... after reinstalling Windows, redirect the libraries back to the second drive again and your stuff will show up once more. Desktop, start menu and all that will be back. No need to install any software, even Steam.

Seagate is what I said, and it died in 18 months.
