I only upgraded from 7 when 10 came out *and* I was able to find a shell program that made it look and function like 7. I will not "upgrade" to 11 until my computer literally refuses to turn on....and even then I might finally bite the bullet and go back to Ubuntu or something.

Win 11 sucks. As much as 10. Bring back xp!!!! And thats a pony. You into ponies? (Secretly laughing because imma get the "hey there" bs)

Hey there!

WinNT FTW
inspiringandfunnyusernamecoolheh
it needs a little work but win 10 is a good system, much easier than XP. XP had almost no automation even with USB driver installation, you could not connect a USB device and it would just not work automatically.

I bought a new PC with windows 11 on it. What a bloated POS.
DippinDerps
Wait untill you start getting banner ad that take up the whole bottom of your desktop from programs you install. e.e The little close out x button is hard to see too. Those are fun. . . .

Technically, Windows 11 is less bloated than 10. Doesn't stop manufacturers piling on the bloat before you get it though.
DippinDerps
I guess it's a a plus building your own PC. You don't get that. Doesn't mean macro$haft isn't still making money off of you from ad marketing in windows

It just isn't windows 11. Windows 10 too. Recently did a fresh build. Put on windows 10 pro. Had 2 m.2's and a platter drive. About a week later. Upgraded the 2nd m.2 for more game install storage. Suddenly the computer wouldn't boot properly. Constantly went into windows repair and drive repair mode every boot. Constantly had issues with it not posting video. Could not do a repair because windows said the main drive was bitlocked. Never enabled that. After a week in frustration. (Next post)
DippinDerps
I reinstalled windows and disabled the 2 other drive. Boom, no problems. Posts every time. Enabled the two 2nd drives. Still fine. Apparently when you do a Windows installation. It puts setup files on every connected drive and every drive is registered in the startup file. If you remove a drive it sees that change and puts up a red flag. I own a Windows pro USB installation drive. Pro automatically add encryption to your storage drives. Windows 11 takes it up a notch (next post)

Good to know.
DippinDerps
And adds it to all of your drives. That's why you cannot do a restore or install without it telling you to not have USB storage installed. Getting pretty apple like in my opinion now. :(
digifuzzy
The Hyper, Overzealous, Security Theater that is Windows and UEFI. I feel your pain.
volcabsol
Oh that's fucking atrocious, I'd go bananas trying to solve that. Encryption is good, but it should be voluntary for this exact reason, because it can brick things if you don't know what was encrypted and how.
albinoALPACA
Does it add encryption like bitlocker? I'm sure you can disable that if you make your own USB. But I totally feel this pain, last winter I had to re-install win10. I often use macrium reflect to clone windows drives now. It lets you see all the small bootrec and recovery partitions. And the software has moved to a free trial thing but there are releases of the "free for personal use" versions out there
DippinDerps
The free for personal use blocks partition recovery. The free one that do the partition recovery can take 6-12 or more hours to complete. Partition magic was able to complete it in a matter of seconds:) because it's free, doesn't mean it actually works x.x As for encryption, no it doesn't, it basically adds "notes" on what's installed. The USB recover could work but if you didn't encrypt it yourself and have a key, there isn't a way to fix unless you put the part back in when it was installed.

I don't think it adds the boot files to *all* of the drives, but the drive to which it adds the files might not be the one you expect, might not be the one you're installing the OS to. It's whichever the motherboard decides is the "first" one. This is still kind of dumb, though, and so it is indeed best to install Windows with only one drive installed.
DippinDerps
I did a test on a loaner tower I'm rebuilding. 3 drives in it as well and put W10 pro on it. Went into recovery when either the second or third drive was pulled. Checking the drives on another PC with administrative privileges has a hidden windows temp folder that's empty. Not sure if it's the folder but it has something definitely to do with the registry file. I went and cloned the master drive to another and tried the same thing with the secondary drives and went right into recovery
chammey
Yeah I was moving a Windows10 installation from one drive to another, via Linux ofc. Had to copy every single bit with "dd", and not just the files, but the partition and the whole physical disk too! (sorry) After copying, boot up Windows. Then back to Linux, you can resize the partitions to fit the disk. Then back to Windows. Then to Linux.....
After every single step, booted Windows. So I guess it's looking for multiple red flags if it wants to boot. It's OK, I don't know if I want to pay.
