You're damn right I have something to hide. Pretty much anyone with a bank account does. It's all fun and games until a server holding your bank details gets hacked.

Arguements like I'm witnessing here are born out of complete ignorance, and are the precise reason identity theft is at an all time high... :shadedshu:

You may think they have. But since it's not in the EULA, they actually don't.

Fwiw, you're not even a customer. You didn't bought Windows, you merely bought a license to use Microsoft's product. You're a licensee (just like everybody else).

Licensee's ARE customers.

Just use TOR browser and you can get up to all your bad habit's there.
That includes:

Murder.
Illegal porn.
Buying drugs.
sicko
sicko and probably more sicko.

Using Windows to do this? you are dumb.

To be fair, if they can get access to your bank account that way you're having the wrong bank.

Yeah, those activists under oppresive regimes really are sick. Burn them all.

ON TOPIC, the upgrade went smooth and no settings changed. I like how you can now define "active hours" in Windows Update yourself. You can' set it for longer than 12 hours though. There's also an option to set your own restarts time, if it's due for a restart. That is good. Also, the telemetry option is greyed out for me. Have no idea why.

SSDs still get fragmented and if you don't have a fast PCIe SSD you will notice the slowdown especially when transferring data to-and-from a single drive. I imagine RAID would be faster.

Data on an SSD is not fragmented where did you get that from. Its flash memory, how can it be fragmented?

Update isn't working properly for me. Install process is fine, but then it BSOD's with CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED before it gets to the login screen. Have to wait for it to restart twice and then revert to the last build. Guess I'm not missing out on much anyways.

Files can become fragmented on an SSD the same exact way that they do on a rotational media drive, such as resaving a file that's bigger but, the old file doesn't have enough contiguous free space around it to keep the file all together as opposed to getting fragmented. The difference is that fragmentation tends to cause far fewer performance issues on SSDs because "seek" latency is so low, you don't really notice it.

With that said, I doubt that fragmentation would ever show up on a benchmark that's directly reading the drive and not files.

Correct... Yes, they do.

They do. However, it is not like fragmentation of a physical platter.

Yes, true. However, it does affect an SSD; but it is not seek time as in a HDD . And, it can cause slow downs that are measurable.

Also, windows 8.1+ defrag is smart enough to deal with it.

Here is a nice article that Scott Hanselman wrote, after some investigation and discussing with Microsoft: The real and complete story - Does Windows defragment your SSD?

I'm guessing my point went completely over your head.

Maybe, until you consider how blanket the Windows 10 keylogging is.

Another example, still. Daddy looks at good ol' fashioned legal porn. Kid gets on computer and gets targeted ads for such porn. Congrats! You just unwittingly exposed a minor to porn.

There are A MILLION reasons this is a bad idea.

This isn't the first article stating W10 Anniversary update is breaking bad. Here's hoping it's resolved for those involved.
Another article says Skylake users with this edition, that use Avast may have BSOD issues.

It appears you can still upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 if you still have the update EXE which is not available on Microsoft page anymore because the offer ended in July. Hihi
