Yeah that was kind of a weird marketing pivot.Maximum Leader posted:so if you enable some assistive technologies you can still upgrade for free? I don't know if you even have to go that far, it may not check for assistance devices or software running, but I'd rather not be That Guy.

lazydog posted:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade Sometimes I don't plug a mouse in and I just use the keyboard mouse feature when I actually need to use the keyboard, or I use sticky keys to help me in a game because my finger is getting sore from holding down Ctrl for too long or something. So how much longer could I have put off the lovely upgrade? Oh, the page says they haven't even announced an end date yet! Is this some kind of "out" so they can say "oh yeah we stuck to our plan of only making it free for a year, we definitely do what we say" but maybe magazines will carry articles saying "it's still not too late!" and more people will get their free upgrades, so hopefully they can get to a billion devices running Windows 10 before the heat death of the universe?

Hit Enter to start the upgrade process:^C Interrupt received, starting upgrade anyway because why wouldn't you want to upgrade? Am I the only one who prefers Windows 8 because it might have a crazy user interface but it at least still does what you want it to do? Everyone I know seems to say "at least 10 is better than 8", maybe it's just me

8.1 was a better OS than 10 as long as you had Classic Shell installed It fits in with the bad-good-bad cycle as well 95 good 98 bad 98se good ME bad 2000 good XP bad 7 good 8 bad 8.1 good 10 bad [edit] Vista didn't exist

1. 8.1 is not a separate windows version. remove it and your pattern becomes correct 2. "oh yeah windows 8 is fine except for the entirety of it that shows on my screen and which I interact with. that bit's awful. but the rest of it is fine"

error1 posted:8.1 was a better OS than 10 as long as you had Classic Shell installed I never count 2000 since it wasn't really used by non-business types AFAIK, so: 95 good 98 bad 98se good ME bad XP good Vista bad 7 good 8 bad 10 must be good? atomicthumbs posted:2. "oh yeah windows 8 is fine except for the entirety of it that shows on my screen and which I interact with. that bit's awful. but the rest of it is fine" This but unironically. I mean occasionally I hit the Windows key and some horrible full-screen start menu replacement comes up, I type a few letters to identify the program I want to start and hit enter, and then I'm back to the mostly-familiar desktop. And Classic Shell can fix that but to be honest most of the time it's a lot nicer to just type stuff and not have to scroll anyway, so I can kind of live with the start screen. Windows 8 just felt to me like 7 but I got forced into starting my programs in a more efficient way, which is hard to complain about (except when the search takes a really long time to complete). Maybe I'm just looking back with rose-tinted glasses though. I hope nobody is offended by my bad and incorrect opinions decorated with punctuation
