No shit. I helped a friend buy a fujitsu 17.3" dual core i5 laptop a few years back. I remember telling him "do not get windows 8". He has no clue about security, at all. So... he let it upgrade recently to 10 and lo and behold it stopped booting. Then he allowed his neighbor to install a desktop iso of a 32bit version of windows 7. I was amazed it even booted-lol. I had to reinstall windows 7 home premium using his key and now all is well with updates off and gwx, plus antibeacon installed.
- ryanl0l 10y agoSo do you honestly believe that upgrading away from windows 7 somehow hurts security?
- hackney 10y agoNot at all. Laptops are very proprietary and most times you can't just install whatever you want unless you can code drivers and such yourself. The fujitsu was not a TS so windows 8 was not a relevant OS. It's completely updated as far as win7 is concerned, it just broke itself when he allowed MS to update it to 10. Not that I'm very surprised.
