Pissing off a lot of people
So, like, pissing people off is it's own reward now?
Are you unfamiliar with the ?
No. I'm just abusing it. It fills around 40% of my daily human interaction quota. So I try to ignore the new rules and just treat it as a noisy bar.

The company that handles my e-mail hosting recently changed to Office 365. The first time I used it, I got a similar message, so I figured I would play along. But it only asked me one question (even though it said there would be two). Maybe it didn't like how I answered the first one

An application caused an issue with .html files and the default handler was changed to Microsoft Edge.
I don't know what's worse.
That you lied, the "default application" didn't ever cause any issue.
Or that you lied, and didn't actually change the default handler and made me go on a wild goose chase.

Not specifically, but . . . . sort of.

OS/2, anyone?

@TimeBandit OS/2 actually ran Windows 3.1 applications while this is the Windows group's nth attempt at Android-on-Windows(-on-ARM?).
I wonder if the main hurdle is the OS or maintaining their own version of Google Play Services?

All I want is to convert this Windows 7 pro license so I can clean install. What is broken?!? I don't even care if the install is corrupted (since I'm trying to clean install later anyways).

And anyways, you deserve it for trying to install the abomination that is Windows 10 on an innocent machine.

Can't you just install Windows 10 using the 7 key?

I seem to recall that should work, but perhaps only if it's been used in an upgrade once.

Yes, if you have an actual number to type in. If it's embedded in the BIOS/UEFI you shouldn't even need that.
@Tsaukpaetra Poking around: Antivirus/Antimalware/Firewalls/etc. and IIS are common culprits, as are the always applicable incompatible drivers. Start uninstalling (or format the boot drive first). :/

Yeah, it looks like WebRoot was fucking something. Luckily, that uninstalled fairly easily, once I installed it again (because apparently it lost its MSI package).

Did I mention that it's a 32-bit only machine?
At least it supports NoEx and PAE...
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:

Has (consumer) Windows learnt to use PAE yet, or does it still just flaunt that the PC has this capability without actually using it?
-
I don't think that's relevant now that 32 bits machines have become a rarity.
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:

I've known some people who insist on cleaning up their machines by deleting the MSI files under
\Windows\Installer
. And then cry when they can't upgrade a package. Or remove it. (I told you not to do that.)

I don't know how it works now but I think it didn't used to work that way
-
@hungrier It used to work that way. Maybe not from the very start, but an update or so later.
edit: this claims it still worked earlier in the year

You've been able to go up to 4 GB of RAM+I/O space as far back as XP, though (as mentioned) the chosen solution is 64-bit Windows. 32-bit is nearly non-existant on new machines these days.
IIRC, Windows 10 requires processors that have PAE.
-
@loopback0 My only experience with upgrading to Windows 10 was from the early days, when I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to eventually get it to work, with a clean install, with a different key generated by converting my existing Windows 7 one. But my experience was also somewhat different from the common case, for reasons that I still don't know - I had to go out of my way to get the upgrade assistant to show up, unlike everyone else who was constantly spammed by notifications from it.

Windows 10all modern operating systems requires processors that have PAE.You have to specially compile Linux kernels to not panic on CPUs without it, but yeah.

Windows for a long time has had artificial (license-based) RAM limits even though it's using PAE.

Windows has been around for a while, but is it old enough to need it?

I think what they mean is when I go to the start menu and type "control panel" (because they keep shuffling that around and create new versions) it will show fewer results for "install smart home app to control your panels".

As long as you have speech recognition enabled on your PC, you can ask Cortana “find my recent files,” and it should unearth the last two or three files you’ve used on your PC.
It's cute to see Microsoft slowly rediscovering 25 years old features.
