RIP Windows 7 - January 14th 2020

[Nccstud]

After our network was hacked and we had to rebuild everything....my boss was very confused why we had so many "bad" computers now.

How do you explain that they computers are so old they can't run windows 10 to someone that doesn't get it? Lol.

It was like 65% of our computers that we had to ditch and replace

If you’re paranoid, like me, you can check that the installation is running by pulling up Task Manager and making sure that the “Windows10UpgraderApp.exe” application is running. (You should see it early on in the process.) Otherwise, go do something else. Your system will automatically restart when it needs to, and the Windows 10 installation will fire off without any additional input from you.


I'm at this part, how long does this take?

there are ways to disable it, but you usually have to re-apply the fix on a regular basis.

could be awhile depending on disk size and file types.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

i wouldnt start worrying til its sitting for 4-6 hours with nothing happening.

it SHOULD finish in 1-2 though.

 

[Yaj Yak]

well fuck. good thing i don't need my laptop today

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

yeah... it is usually minimum an hour

 

[Yaj Yak]

i didnt know

welp. at least it's rolling.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

I think you can use it while its doing the first part, but personally I wouldnt just in case.

 

[Yaj Yak]

ok so ill stop using it then.

The Powershell script takes longer because it has to download the OS as well as do the upgrade. So it looks like its doing nothing because its downloading 5GB worth of stuff.

depending on the speed of your internet it can take a while.

 

[Yaj Yak]

currently says "working on updates 22%. Don't turn off your pc otherwise ill burn this mofucka to the ground"

 

[Yaj Yak]

i actually think im almost done....

 

[Yaj Yak]

WELP. Since tomorrow is the big day, I held out as long as I could. Followed this guide to do the upgrade.

Quickly Upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 for Free With This PowerShell Script

If you’re reading this, you probably know how to upgrade one version of Windows to another. Even though it’s an easy process, it’s still tedious and

lifehacker.com

It was quite literally set it and forget it, and on the surface everything appears to have gone smoothly. Everything is just the way it was before the upgrade, except w/ a new W10 glossy finish. I'll have to mess with it this week and find out what still works and what doesnt. Right now I'm taking anything more than a massive system failure as a win.

yeah, all done, sweet.

thanks for this link. i just need to set the powerscript thing back.

 

[Yaj Yak]

fuck i wish i could just use my laptop instead of my desktop at work. my lappytop is a straight nascar compared to my model T fucking desktop

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

why cant you? locked down work desktop?

 

[Yaj Yak]

why cant you? locked down work desktop?

not at all, guess i could.

work gives me a desktop, just while i was dicking on my laptop next to my desktop though i saw how much of a racecar my lappyttoppy is compared to the desktop

 

[Yaj Yak]

work desktop:

lappytop:

should it feel that much different or am i just imagining it

It's amazing the amount of shitty laptops/desktops we have because the previous admins decided to cheap out on everyone and get people i3s with 2-4GB of RAM.

We're about ~60% moved over to Win10. Every time I upgrade someone, I ditch their shitty HDD and put in a fresh SSD with Win10 on it. No fucking way am I doing the W7 > W10 upgrade procedure on corporate computers. I'll spend 3 times the amount of time trying to unfuck everything that didn't go correctly versus just pulling the old drive and giving a fresh install.

 

[PANDA]

Ran the Windows 10 update this morning on my desktop. Doing a clean install fuck upgrades. Hopefully my shit activates or else im stuck buying a key it seems.

No idea where my Windows 7 license came from.
