Only on Windows Home, though. Windows Professional has none of that bullshit and I've done many installs.
Anyone who is this passionate about computers should be buying a Professional license anyway, namely to get proper access to Group Policy and other things peasants won't care for.
- trinsic2 2y agoOP here, I run a computer shop that handles consumer computers. People bring me machines they purchased from electronics store. So i have to mainly contend with what is out there. I looked into getting into a partnership with a reseller, but since I dont really have much revenue it always seems like a zero sum game. Sometimes customers want me to purchase laptops for them, and this particular model I had trouble with was one of them. I'll admit I'm not very versed in areas I should be focusing on if I need to purchase OEM products because I am mostly a system builder for gamers. If anyone has any recommendations for getting system licensing and hardware from 3rd parties that's not to much of a upfront expense, I'm all ears.

Windows Professional has a lot of bullshit.Yesterday I lost 3 hours because, after a crash, Windows will run an "online checkdisk" and die before completion. Pulling the ethernet cable solved the issue. (this machine does not and will not have a wifi connection).
