However one post I got says I can upgrade for anywhere from about $99 to $199, which is the rate for a full ‘new’ upgrade. I figured there was a chance it was still free, because I’ve seen postings over the last year or two suggesting their Windows 7 or 8.1 keeps upgrading certain portions of Windows on its own. So I’m confident I can shut down all unnecessary programs within it that I don’t need and work around the rest. It will just be mining crypto coins around the clock. It’s not like I’ll be using that computer for the same purposes as I use this one or my others.

However, now I’m ready to “better late than never” jump on the mining train, and the system I’m building says it runs on Windows 10. All my current computers run the Linux system. I switched to Linux Mint and haven’t looked back. I left Microsoft behind when 10 came out as I really don’t need Bill Gates and his crew (so to speak) spying on me. As it is, I really don’t want Windows 10. Sorry for my little rant here, but there you go…….we each have an opinion, and of course, nobody has to agree to mine either. Will they ever close it? Who knows, but please don’t try and suggest that this is the same as taking that last parking space. And when that didn’t do the trick….they kept a little doorway open for those that might read a little and discover it. Microsoft want as many upgrades as possible, and they pulled the oldest sales trick in the book to try and get them (a limited time window).

You’ve (oldnavyguy) have completely reminded me of those sanctimonious and pointless comments that I read all those months ago…….ĭid it not occur to you that perhaps….Microsoft may have told everyone that the free upgrade is finally ending……….in the hope that they might visit that page and make the upgrade, to boost MS’s Win10 statistics further than the woefully slow progress that they have thus made? ….only to “STILL” not pull it, because there’s always tomorrow………. The idea was (according to several comments that I had read), that you were morally bankrupt to try and use “assistive technology” when you were not entitled.ĭo you (oldnavyguy) and others….forget the relentless campaign of harassment that Micro$oft undertook to cajole, bully and more….to get people to upgrade? The forced updates that many did not ask for? The people who came back to their PCs to find them broken in the software-sense, due to upgrades that had failed to update correctly? The loss of trust that then ensued?ĭo you really think that upgrading “a little later” than MS’s forced schedule is really akin to parking in a bay that should rightfully belong to a disabled person? You know…….some time ago, quite a few months now….I found some other narrative on the Net purporting just this line of thinking. Sorry, but I’ve got to say here that (oldnavyguy) post is just not right at all…….its absolutely NOTHING like parking in a disabled bay.
