I need a new pc for my friend very unexpert that used win7 since 2009 so the change to win10 will be very hard. He use it for job so I must setup a clean installation as much as possible like win7. Searching I found some software but my doubt is: If I run these .bat (or something like that) I think that every month there is time to spend to update these patch.. Is it right? I found O&O ShutUp10, do you suggest it? It seems better than others.
Legaly is the keyword, but if one has officially legal LTSB there normally is an IT department present
Thank you but I mean other things like Win Update "verify update but choose to the user if download and install"
win 10 updates are auto. just set the "change active hours" to not do updates at work time .. gives u 12 hr max win 10 is fine.. its win 8 that makes people doubt they cant cope with changes... go to youtube and watch comparison of windows 7 vs 10
So it will go as below: My friend click "update later". He went to home and leave the notebook in the office. The next morning he will call me:"ehy, the notebook is booting for 20 minutes saying "installing updates 99%".
Because new notebook come with win10 and there aren't drivers for win7. And asking all people say to me "win7? why? It is end of life.. You will have new pc already old"
Then tell him to wake up and learn how to use Windows 10, if he learned how to use 7, I'm sure he has the intelligence to learn 10
A refurbed Dell 6430s I bought came with a W7 Pro COA but no system, so I installed W7 SP1 from USB and it did not even get Ethernet drivers, which I then got from Dell. After running the "gatherosstate.exe" program I updated it to W10 Pro and all the needed drivers were included with the os. A much easier install than Windows 7.
reminds me of a glitch i once had with a hp vista desktop.. it had wifi on the mobo, and a tvcard.it came with [OEM] installed vista drivers. long story short; i got fed up with vista. so i upgraded to xp. surprise, surprise.. no drivers for xp on the hp website... i was lucky to find a driver for my wifi that happened to work with xp, even though it was not intended that way; but i never got that tv card working under xp.. now that m$, and amd and intel are playing games again, with new processors, and no downward compatability, or drivers, i will think twice before buying any new hardware, or trying a new [for me,and the intended user anyway,] os.. better use w7 for now.
Make sure the software used is compatible with 10. I use very expensive software that will never run on 8-10 reliably. I keep xp and 7 in all my work machines. I use classic shell in everything without a touch screen. Great program.
You are right but we are telling of people over 40/50 years old.. This is a REAL conversation: Friend:"bring me a pc with few buttons" *when the pc arrive* Friend:"Oh, there are a lot of buttons! How can I use they?" I:"next time we will see, bye!"
I recently refurbished some Windows 7 Lenovo Thinkstations with the COA stickers to Windows 10 Pro for a fussy buyer reluctant to upgrade. So I removed the Store/Defender/Cortana/Edge/Telemetry/automatic maintenance/disabled updates etc... totally barebone - installed WFC, Sandboxie and batch files converted to exe to make sure settings stay in place. Client very happy with the result and the machines are very fast and responsive with no cr@p, bloatware, M$ junk, ads and notifications. Installed Office and their preferred Anti virus. I did not use a LTSB version because it's for legit business use and the upgrade is still free. ended up like a LTSB version with permanent activation.
