    Well even if you decide to disable all options and never use the internet and such. People will be able to enter your computer anyways. It's not like you are safe anyways, they wqnt your wifi password. They can take it if they want it. If you wanna be safe. Cut your electricity (not that im recommending it)

    not if you use a non-english based password that is totally random that is 20 charicters long, they give up at that point and move on to someone else as it would take too long to hack

    We have all gone to school right? And some are attending school atm. And with schools goinc electronic you need a password to enter, therefore you gotta remember that 20 character long password of yours. That password will be listed somewhere too, if hackers wanna find your password they can. I mean people sometimes have two passwords, and if you get spyed on you defo have two passwords to hide whatever you are hiding ;)

    You can have +128bit passwords for every service, taken care of by a password manager with +2048bit encryption and a 2 factor auth to access those..

    Everything will always be hackable/stealable. It's just a matter of delaying. If a thief has to work very hard to get it done he/she will most likely give up and choose another target.

    Or switch focus to social engineering like all his other hacker buddies. No one "Hacks" any more. They all call and pretend to be microsoft and can "remove viruses" if the person lets them in your computer. I fix computers for a living, I see a minimum of 5 of those cases per day.

    The way i see it, nothings wrong with windows 7, its compatible with everything so why do i need a new operating system? Unless the new OS has something you actual NEED there's no point in changing it until your OS becomes incompatible at which point there will probably be a better OS out.

    I have updated to window 10... i must say its amazing.
    Only issue is the daily info sent to microsoft but its mainly what programs i use and such.

    Overall the performance is really good.[DOUBLEPOST=1440425475][/DOUBLEPOST]
    Window 10 is actually really good. The best os in a long time... i would even say better then 7.

    Agreed, I compare it to XP and I think it's on track to have a greater legacy than XP. XP's release wasn't even close to this smooth.

    Only sad that cortana only works with a few languages and that you have to make your entire computer use one of those languages to be able to use the feature.
