Hmm. 1080p gaming. On a Single Screen Gaming System, this cpu is more than a viable candidate. No video card necessary? Less costs? Look at what you can do with this: You can buy and part a simple and CHEAP PC that can game well @ 1080p - Look at the Costs of a 1080p Monitor. You can...

I miss Word Perfect. Connections to services is fine. Spyware for continued revenue stream? Should be opt in, not cannot opt out. All of the Microsoft reps which went to/sent info to Retail Stores touted the fact (since Office 2013, the first Live Account required - email + password...

Hmm. This shows promise for their portable/laptop cpu. Bodes well for a Media Computer, too.

So, no one knows?

My point was this: Microsoft promised free upgrade to the Newest Office, if you bought the subscription. But, If you have anything OTHER THAN 10, you CANNOT get the upgrade... So, again, Microsoft breaks another promise.

Hmm. One of the "selling points" Microsoft pushed for the subscription version of Office (365) was the user would get "free upgrades" to the next versions of Office... So, um. Which is true?

Um. F Watch? Plan your nomenclature well? Not just watch it, F Watch it.... Um. No. If it is like any other part of Facebook, you will have to SIGN IN to watch. I dont do that with youtube. Heck, I ad block galore on Youtube, to remove the annoying ads that I have to watch to then...

Where/how can you get a 2018 LTSB without being a corporation? Legit copy - full license. Edit: Get=Buy

Anyone have info for when the new AMD cpus be out in numbers? I know of about 3 models, but I would like to know when they hit in high numbers/ number of models. Thanks

Not surprised MS abandoned all the OS before 10. They do not have a continuous revenue stream from any OS before 10. Targeted 3rd party advertising FTW. Just an FYI: Wordpad is STILL in the OS. (Ironically in the Windows NT folder) 90%+ of the average Joe user doesn't need more than a...

If you installed 10 during the "free" upgrade, and are doing a fresh re-install, it should be fine. IF you want to take a 7 and make it 10 now, or in the future, I thought they stopped the free upgrade.

I bet you had one of these things happen: 1) Virused. It happens, too easily. 2) A "PuP" or "PuM" which blocked the update (unwanted program or unwanted modification to a program) Not a virus, but think a malware, spyware, or simply a program not compliant with the update... 3) Removal of the...

Things I like about Linux: 1) Many free editions 2) Ability to "try out" by bootable DVD/USB thumbdrive without installing/messing with the OS installed. 3) Ability to tweak for your hardware setup. 4) Ability to tweak for wants and needs. Things I do not like about Linux: 1) Learning curve...

Yes, I forgot to mention, make sure your Power Options (energy saving settings) are set to "Never" turn off / sleep while updating... The system can go to "sleep" while updating, which can lead to the annoying "Boot Loop" crash.

Yes, 3rd party A/V needs to be turned off, if possible. Yes, you may have to reinstall the A/V after the update. There have been various complaints, with earlier updates, Microsoft braking A/V and Non-Microsoft Browsers. So, if possible, back up your bookmarks/favorites and important files...
