Doesn’t change the fact that Eccles is still an XP using boomer<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

im dreading windows 7 end of life

2019-07-11 23:15:15 UTC  

It was the being forced to change that made me fall out with Steam because of the way they ended the support

2019-07-11 23:15:56 UTC  

Ironically it was Microsoft -sensible- decision to allow the installation of WIndows 10 without a license key that saved me

2019-07-11 23:16:01 UTC  

i dont think win10 will run on my main laptop, and win 10 is a dumpster fire anyway

2019-07-11 23:16:24 UTC  

@system11 Windows 7 has already reached its manufacture end of life, but steam won’t abandon it for a while. A major stake of its user base still uses windows 7

2019-07-11 23:16:45 UTC  

i mean the out of support for OS updates EOL, not sure when that is

2019-07-11 23:16:59 UTC  

Can't be much longer, System11

2019-07-11 23:17:10 UTC  

yeah im sure MS will force the issue soon

2019-07-11 23:17:11 UTC  

It’s already happened

2019-07-11 23:17:33 UTC  

I have an old laptop running W7, it's got the specs to run W10 but won't because W10 is buggy and there is no value for M$ in fixing it

2019-07-11 23:17:36 UTC  

But both Microsoft and steam realize that many users still use it, so the plug isn’t pulled

2019-07-11 23:17:40 UTC  

if it had already happened i wouldnt have pending security updates from microsoft

2019-07-11 23:18:01 UTC  

It’s already happened. Probably just scheduled.

2019-07-11 23:18:30 UTC  

my laptop is 9 years old so not sure if win10 will even work on it. it was top of the range at the time and i cant find -anything- available with a screen as good

2019-07-11 23:18:43 UTC  

if it's got 2gb of ram, it should

2019-07-11 23:18:49 UTC  

but chance are it won't because fuck M$

2019-07-11 23:18:53 UTC  

Ah forgive me, I got my dates mixed up. It’s January 14th, 2020.

2019-07-11 23:19:12 UTC  

its the nvidia display hardware id worry about

2019-07-11 23:19:26 UTC  

you shouldn't, it's well supported

2019-07-11 23:19:26 UTC  

no

2019-07-11 23:19:30 UTC  

W10 works on everything

2019-07-11 23:19:35 UTC  

the screen is a 17" matte 16:10. just try to find anything with that

2019-07-11 23:19:37 UTC  

it'll be the bios that'll fuck you up if anything

2019-07-11 23:19:37 UTC  

it definitely will

2019-07-11 23:19:43 UTC  

the BIOS is unaffected

2019-07-11 23:19:46 UTC  

you dolt

2019-07-11 23:19:53 UTC  

hasn't it offered you a w10 upgrade via windows update?

2019-07-11 23:19:55 UTC  

thats why i never replaced the laptop, ive replaced a few parts here and there

2019-07-11 23:20:18 UTC  

W10 installer has issues with some legacy bioses, Coolitic, it's why it won't install on my old laptop

2019-07-11 23:20:25 UTC  

it works on legacy BIOS

2019-07-11 23:20:28 UTC  

Mate the BIOS is just the boot system of the motherboard. Has nothing to do with operating systems.

2019-07-11 23:20:30 UTC  

you have to select the option

2019-07-11 23:20:34 UTC  

Yes, it does, but not all of them

2019-07-11 23:20:41 UTC  

there are ways to install it properly

2019-07-11 23:20:46 UTC  

the bootloader is not an issue

2019-07-11 23:21:06 UTC  

Well that's not Microsoft are telling me

2019-07-11 23:21:14 UTC  

is there a bootable dvd win10 'tester'?

2019-07-11 23:21:19 UTC  

uhh

2019-07-11 23:21:23 UTC  

You can download the iso's from their website, System11
