It's the sheep that use windows 10 without questioning that's going to cause the biggest annoyance for me though
More and more people get computers with Windows 10 that have Safe Boot enabled.
The problem with windows 10 and Safe boot (especially new installs starting from august) is that they do not run drivers that are not signed by Microsoft explicitly. You have to send them the driver, and if it's not safe enough or hurts the EcoSystem of windows (e.g kernelmode adblockers, competing products, or things that could potentially bypass DRM, like a memory scanner), they will not sign it.

And it's only a first step, i'm sure eventually all software that runs with Administrator access will need to be signed by them as well, and if they don't like it, screw you

Of course, this requirement is easily disabled if you disable Safe Boot, but most people just piss their pants when you tell them that. And it's likely that certain software will refuse to run in the future if Safe Boot is disabled

Anything that reroutes or blocks an ip address within the dns client would function as kernel mode adblocking, ie editing the hosts file.

Yeah or you could go through group policy or the registry, there are probably other ways too. I think I used the wrong Latin abbreviation.

I'm just glad I haven't had, or needed, to update to windows 10 Yet...

And you never will need to.

Why can't we choose not to install update and why is firewall automatically turning on?

You can choose not to install it and you should choose a decent firewall (stay away from US shit). Use Germany or Russia-based firewalls.

I still love windows 10. No issues at all.

Don't fall for the marketing crap, you are smarter than that.
If you swap the processor, it will still work, but MS won't give you more patches.
You need a workaround like this for that and you can keep your Windows 7 forever.
I imagine CE could be used to create a trainer for this, too Very Happy

BTW, fresh install will also work because the images out there already don't include any such CPU checks (and why would you grab a new image that screws with your mojo?).

Windows 7 is far better than Windows 10, sorry.
There may be a time when Windows 10 will be as good as Windows 7, but it's been two years now and still nothing.
So, for now, it's say to say 'never'.
If Window 10 would be that good, people would not have to think about upgrading - they'd happily do that out of their own will.
I, for one, will wait until MS patches all backdoors that can be exploited - that's one of the benefits of the source code leaks earlier.

I agree. I suspect MS will have to make a deal with Intel to force people jump onto Windows 10. Eventually.
