Can't be much longer, System11
yeah im sure MS will force the issue soon
It’s already happened
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
But both Microsoft and steam realize that many users still use it, so the plug isn’t pulled
if it had already happened i wouldnt have pending security updates from microsoft
It’s already happened. Probably just scheduled.
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
if it's got 2gb of ram, it should
but chance are it won't because fuck M$
Ah forgive me, I got my dates mixed up. It’s January 14th, 2020.
its the nvidia display hardware id worry about
you shouldn't, it's well supported
no
W10 works on everything
the screen is a 17" matte 16:10. just try to find anything with that
it'll be the bios that'll fuck you up if anything
it definitely will
the BIOS is unaffected
you dolt
thats why i never replaced the laptop, ive replaced a few parts here and there
W10 installer has issues with some legacy bioses, Coolitic, it's why it won't install on my old laptop
it works on legacy BIOS
Mate the BIOS is just the boot system of the motherboard. Has nothing to do with operating systems.
you have to select the option
Yes, it does, but not all of them
there are ways to install it properly
the bootloader is not an issue
Well that's not Microsoft are telling me
is there a bootable dvd win10 'tester'?
uhh
You can download the iso's from their website, System11
I dont think they have a Live CD
To my understanding Microsoft no longer offers direct upgrades for windows 10.
Windows update on my laptop says otherwise, Gespa
shame. i suppose the only way to test it would be to sling a spare hard drive in
You’ll notice I said “to my understanding”, Eccles.
Could resize your partition and install on that, System11
Bit of a risk attached
yeah id rather not break it, i have one of the old drives. its a raid supporting system and i replaced the twins when one died and put a single SSD in
