#windows 10 upgrade

[horreurscopes]

besties what is your experience with windows 11. i have been rejecting the update for years at this point; is it better/worse/equally bad as windows 10?

[granhairdo]

my computer is BEGGING me to upgrade to windows 11 this is so damn funny

[jusiri]

Fun fact for those of you who might not know, if you have windows 10 and you hate that Search shows search results from the Internet instead of just whats on your computer, you can turn that setting off

Its through the registry keys, so if you can't or don't wanna touch that, this wont work for you lol

i also cannot guarantee this is *safe* exactly

im a chronic messer arounder, and ill dick around with shit on my computer frequently, but i have 0 actual computer knowledge ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

all i can say is that it works and so far ive noticed nothing bad

Which i fucking despised that search would constantly bring up bing results instead of how it used to be so

I should mention here too but all of my Ko-fi commissions (except one, I'm still waiting for a response) have been completed, thank you all for your patience! 🙇‍♂️

feel a strong urge to stream fallout 4 or fallout 76 but the insane rig i'd have to do in order to get audio (need a desk mic since my pc ports demand i plug a separate mic and headphones in)

[ask-artsy-oncie]

Ugh. Looks like pretty much every program I run now is telling me to upgrade from Windows 8.1 or go suck a nut.

There goes my last iteration of Windows with no forced voice assistant or fucken. Microsoft Edge integration.

crazy girl bedroom thots but it's crazy to think that someday i will likely long for the days i spent "scraping by" with a 2015 smartphone and busted 6yo laptop &mouse. imgonna feel nostalgia for this when tech decays. some could argue that is already happening. life is so crazy <3

[forsooth-verily]

My xboxone won't read the dvd of my latest hyperfixation, so I'm booting up my 2010 dell with windows media player and taking up prayer

[polyplumbob]

It took me only like 2.5-3 hours to install sims 2 and all its expansion packs and 2 stuff packs on my new refurbished Windows 7. There wasn't a single issue. Either my Windows 11 weirdly can't handle Sims 2 being installed or the discs do not work on external CD drives. Anyways, I'm tired its 3:30am I'm quitting for now I'll finish the stuff packs later. Then figuring out how to fully move my game to this computer.

Edit

Okay there was some frustration between complete installation, loading, and changing back ups but that was probably partially my fault.

Anyways

Everything is installed and downloaded and all my sims are on the new computer!!!

I may try to install H&M stuff because it worked but I uninstalled it wondering if it was messing with my back ups since I didn't have H&M on my other computer

Holy BALLS

So EA retired Origin and replaced it with some bullshit modern app thingee. Not to sound ridiculously old but I’ve been wrist deep in computer cases for 25 years now and I despise enforced obsolescence like this. But it’s making me update in order to play the games I actually paid money for.

Fine

Install fails. Of course it does. Check system requirements because Windows 7 will be pried from my cold dead hands. No, it should work on Windows 7. Install fails again. Wtf guys. And like all new crap it refuses to tell me what’s wrong

Fine

I know Origin has a specific error on my machine because I built an AMD machine and several windows 7 updates were meant for Intel Only during one of the various Intel Backdoor Hacking scandals. I repair 7 instances of C++ Redistributable and two restarts later it still fails

Fine

Force uninstall of various programs and reinstalls. It still fails

You fuckers

Comb through the Windows archives for exactly what I need, a single 1mb update from 12 years ago. It was bundled into an Intel package but I’m able to find the single file from the package that I actually need. Acquire. Install.

It works. It works? IT WORKS!

And then none of my games load

MOTHERFUCKER

Manually move game files across HDs into the EA App folder because the app couldn’t figure out how after I’d forcibly uninstalled Origin against its will. Save files are squirrelled away onto an external HD in case of mandatory uninstall/reinstall

thank FUCK it runs

This train wreck with the 3 point landing brought to you by having to be my own tech support for 27 years with an inability to know when to quit. Also EA is run by bastards.

Accidentally sent the whole evening setting up my new laptop, but at least the upside IS that it's almost all done now!

I've got basically every key program reinstalled, as well as all the files I need for work and school. Even quicky tested my PS3 controller and was able to get it up and working quickly with an emulator

Tomorrow I should be able to cross the finish line and actually play some games (and work on my assignment). Gotta see what game would be good for a test

[peridyke]

depending on what version your laptop came with, you could backup your files and reinstall windows on your laptop via a usb?

ya my gf already got an external hard drive for me I just gotta back up my files :') I should do that sooner than later because of the amount of important projects that are on my laptop and the fact that I am always worried I will turn it off and then it will never turn on again. I just gotta like remember to actually do it
