If Windows is working for you "without a hassle", you must be using some version that us mortals can only dream of.
- mekster 6y agoWhat hassle do you have these days? Yeah, I don't use peripherals as it's only a gaming machine (I don't see other reason to use Windows) but it's working as intended for years.
- eMSF 6y agoActivation, for example. An activated and running Windows system can turn into a nagging SOB by something as simple as enabling a motherboard's Ethernet adapter in BIOS. A level of detail I value is that none of that BS is baked into systems I use. Doesn't matter whether those who did not do so were paid for it or not.
- Semaphor 6y agoI didn’t even have to reactivate after changing my MB. I never had to reactivate an activated Windows 10 in general.
- mekster 6y agoI had a new mobo broken in 1 week and replaced it with the same model and it ended up license being invalid despite the mobo being the exact same model. I had to make a phone call since none of the methods Windows or the internet suggested worked and that phone literally took 30 min to reactivate my license again. That wasn't fun.
- qazwse_ 6y agoHad this happen to me after installing a secondary SSD. Windows was deactivated, and wouldn't reactivate. I ended up having to use the Windows Restore tool before I could activate again. Having to reinstall all of your programs is never fun.
- def_true_false 6y agoIf only there was a way to get LTSC as a non-institutional customer and a way to activate it. (wink wink)
- arvinsim 6y agoI also don't get about this complaint about Windows. I had as much problems with as my Macbook...which is almost always never.
