Last Night I did Something Really, Really Stupid

dunno whether to kick myself or just book into the looney bin

from WinCustomize Forums

Not sure whether I was bored shitless or high because of my meds.

Whether I was completely out of my cotton pickin' mind and suffered with temporary insanity...

Or had somehow been influenced by external forces and had behaved in a way I otherwise wouldn't.

Like there I was, minding my own business... and other peoples, when I came across this webpage about free upgrades to Windows 10 for people on Win 7 and 8.1 who are using 'Assistive Technologies'.  Now being I wouldn't have willingly done this, I must have fallen into a trance or something - like MS had hidden subliminal 'gotta get it' messages in the page - because the next thing I knew I came to and was running Windows 10 on what was a Win 8.1 only machine.

Hang on, still a bit hazy so I'm gonna double check.

Damn, danm and double damn!  Fech, fech and double fech it! 

Yup, I'm running fechen horrible Win 10 on my beloved AMD big beastie.  See, I knew MS wasn't done forcing Win 10 down peoples throats.  Couldn't palm it off on enough people during the advertised 'free period', so they come up with another scheme to 'suck' people in... with a webpage that hypnotises people with subliminal messages saying "ya gotta get it", "ya gotta get it".  I mean, people who resisted for the whole year in the first 'free period' wouldn't do it of their own accord, would they... and I know I was hynotised because I came to with a huge headache. I always get a huge headache after being hypnotised. 

Can you imagine it, going to sleep with Windows 8.1 and waking up with Windows 10?  Twice?  It happened on my HP 2-in-1 laptop as well... and I don't even like Windows 10.

Yeah, I know!  A lot of you are going to say, "There he goes again, starkers and another of his conspiracy theories", but I swear it's true.  I have the huge headache to prove it... not to mention an OS I don't like. 

So let this be a warning to you. Don't go to that free Windows 10 page for users with Assistive Technologies unless you are impervious to hypnotism and subliminal messages.  Seriously, I read that a very large number of visitors to the page end up leaving with Win 10, so it's not just a coincidence.  THEY ARE OUT TO GET YOU!

I suppose, though, if you really want Windows 10 for free still, you'd probably want to get over to that page sooner rather than later cos it mightn't be there long. However, if you don't want Win 10, avoid that page like the plague.  Don't do as I did, "oh look, glossy stuff" and fall for the glossy advertising, cos it will ensnare you.

And it won't be a case of 'oh look, you have Windows 10', it'll be a case of Windows 10 has you.

:grin: ;P :-"

Not for Win 10 there isn't!  I asked my doctor for it, but he was more interested in how I possibly managed to push the 'upgrade' button whilst still fully belted up in a strait jacket.  I told him that I used my tongue, but he said: "Not while you were wearing that 'Silence of the Lambs', mask, my old son, not while you were wearing that mask."

Anyway, to cut a long story short, the morning after pill wasn't forthcoming and I'm stuck with Win 10 for the rest of eternity.

As for there not being a pill big enough, I resemble the insinuation that I'm a large gentleman.  In fact, I resemble being called a gentleman of any kind, large or otherwise.  I'm just a regular bloke with [at times] somewhat questionable manners and larrikin tendencies... and I wouldn't have me any other way.

:grin: :rofl: :-" ;P

Did another clean install using the 1511 ISO. From scratch I did with all the updates that came with it, eleven of them including a feature for version 1607. I think I'm back where I started from with the Creators Update. Don't know for sure that's why the pic of the about screen from WB. Someone let me know please.

My WB file dates agree with yours.  My Win10 version reads "Windows 10 Home (14393.rs1_release_inmarket.170303-1614)" though.

After a couple of days using Win 10 on this AMD machine I have found it not to be as fast as Win 8.1, in both bootup and general operations.  Since the upgrade things seem to be running a little clunky.  However, that may be because it is an update over a previous OS and that I need to do a clean install to eradicate the little jinks.

Other than that, everything seems to be working okay and there have been no major issues thus far. I still have a few programs to reinstall, but going by what has transpired thus far I shouldn't have too many problems with that.  Even some older programs that have not been updated for Win 10 installed okay and run without issue.

I won't say at this point that I like Win 10, but there are promising signs with updates being able to be deferred, etc. That was my pet peeve on my HP 2-in-1 with Win 10 Home; being forced to take updates I neither wanted or needed and have them break things on a monthly basis.
