hello everyone, I've got a notification on my windows 7 saying get windows 10, it is for free, as announced before by microsoft. My question is: is it worth...

It's about the privacy defaults in windows 10.

So I take it you got a genuine copy even though your 8.1 was cracked? Or is it still considered cracked?

Yes, all copies of Windows 7 and 8 (whether pirated or not) are upgradeable to a genuine copy of Windows 10.

I've upgraded from genuine Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. What happens if I would like to clean format my computer after a year? Will I lose my Windows 10 activation?

No, just no. Pirated stays pirated and doesn't get security updates.

That's what I read/thought at first. But after browsing the piracy subreddit, it seems that most people with cracked windows are getting at least somewhat verified keys. Some of them are permanent keys, others last for 60-180 days depending on what loader they used etc

Just upgraded from a torrented version of windows 8.1 to windows 10 using the check for updates function. Easiest update yet!

So guys, windows 10 had been really slow the last day or so. It was fine the day before that. Should I perform a factory reset or wait for a cracked version and do a clean install?

Since I updated my GPU drivers, my gaming performance improved significantly, but browsing the web has become a pain in the ass.

Well i have a 980, would its performance improve regardless its amazig powers? Haha
Just so i know if i install it now or wait when it has more updates

Some people who upgraded rather than cleanly installed windows 10 had some issues, extract the serial number and download windows into a bootable USB or DVD and clean install it

I got many problems specially with start menu and Corina and then suddenly a dead blue screen ( they added sad face to it )
after that i tired to revert my windows 10 to windows 7 using the recover they gave me for 1 month again but it began the process and re-logs again to windows 10 as if nothing happened then i head to reset option and here the "drama" began i choose the reset button and lost all my files using to clean install due misunderstanding in the following "only windows drivers" and "all drivers " i just pressed all drivers thinking its talking its talking about windows drivers like VGA sound etc... so after i hit the start button and after 15 minutes i felt i did something wrong so I re Google it again to be more sure and sadly it meant with all drivers as all partitions so all my files everything gone now am starting from zero and i learned my lesson am heading back to windows 7 and i wont change till the end of there life cycle.

The only thing that's holding me back is my GTA V files through steam. They are 65 GB. How do I back them up to my external HDD?
