I know it's common sense but I work with multi billion dollar companies that are still on 2008 and come audit time are shocked, SHOCKED to find out their software is obsolete. Haha yeah. I need this so I can stand up a test box to try out a few different replication and migration scenarios without impacting prod. If I was here prior to the 2K8 EoL we wouldn't be in this situation, but unfortunately I'm just dealing with what I've inherited.

All you need are the SHA256 hashes of the ISO from a reputable source - if you have that, you can get the ISO from wherever as long as it matches. Perhaps MS lists them online, or someone here with a subscription can get them for you?

MarcusSA posted:I have the exact same issue which is why I just sleep the computer now. This is such a perplexing issue, and, like you said, there is no answer online. I don't like to put my computer to sleep, because I have to keep it in a very cold part of the house and if my monitor turns off for a long time, it takes almost an hour to turn back on in the cold. It's just so very weird.

There's probably a big list somewhere that I haven't spent enough time looking for or maybe a better place to ask but do you guys have suggestions for a solid pdf editor? I don't know if I want to spend Adobe level money on it.

So I have a bit of an edge case. I want to use my Keyboard and Mouse over the network on my laptop. Obviously I looked at Barrier (Synergy) for this, but there is a bit of a caveat. I want to display my laptop on my third monitor (switched), meaning that all the tools I tried, require me to go Right, across the (now hidden) monitor and only then appears on my screen. All the tools I have looked at seem to ignore the aspect of physical monitors on the host machine, but I'd really like to just be able to start the tool ,change the input and go. When I am not using my laptop, I don't need the tool anyway.

I don't know if I want to spend Adobe level money on it. What are you looking to do? Markup? Lay out your own desktop publishing works? Affinity Publisher is on 50% off, but that’s the creative end of things, not corporate/commercial use or mass tagging or whatever.

Assuming you just need the laptop to be accessible while you use a different computer: Can you just RDP into the laptop? The latency for RDP over a local ethernet connection is extremely low.

Thanks I'll check that out. Seems like it's on the Microsoft store and I didn't think to check there Edit: The settings option for Windows Terminal opens a JSON file to edit, so this doesn't seem like any leap ahead of putty honestly (was trying to get away from registry editing to apply themes)

For me ( it’s probably the same for them) it will start manually and stay on it won’t automatically start. The screen will go to sleep eventually (like 90% of the time). I just want to have the screen saver work properly so that I can remote into the system. Like if the screen is off my RDP just shows a black screen for whatever reason.

As far as I'm aware the differences between Home and Professional are mostly licensing restrictions, so it wouldn't need to reinstall if you upgrade your license. According to a user on the Microsoft support forums, the entire thing takes all of ten minutes.

Windows 7 has been out of support for quite a while now, absolutely don't use it any longer.

This has nothing to do with Home vs Pro, it's whether you install the 32-bit or x64 version. 32 and 64 can't be converted without a full formal and reinstall. (Don't keep using your 7 machine, unless you're disconnecting it from the internet and just playing old games or something.)

Flipperwaldt posted:No, they're right. Win7 x64 home basic is artificially capped at 8GB, home premium at 16. Wow, somehow I missed that info for the whole of 7's life. Not that having over 16gb of ram was a thing that came up often for most of 7's life. The Lord Bude posted:Point still stands though; you shouldnt be running windows 7. Yeah, if it's being used as an "old stuff box" disconnected from the internet, the old stuff should work fine with 16gb. Heck, you don't need more than 16gb for hardly any new software. Any other purpose = use 10.

Edit: Potentially 3 more years, if a combination of a simple registry edit (like back in the XP days) combined with the bypass works, as POSready gets updates for a year longer still.
