About The GWX Auto Downloads
I’m not sure why all the fuss this week. We Geeks have warned you about this from the inception. Forum members at places like MDL have been shouting about this daily for many months. I first warned about GWX in April. I have a post on blocking this 3 weeks ago. Yes, this is a massively shitty thing for Microsoft to do, yes I think someone should be fired over this, yes I think it calls for lawsuites, but like I said, we Geeks warned you. This isn’t new news and you should be careful about trusting sites/people that act like it is.

Site Polls
The results of the “What Windows OS is your main OS?” poll kinda shocked me. I didn’t think so many of you would jump to Win10 so fast. I’m also a bit disheartened that so many people are still using XP.
I put a new poll up. Let me know what you think of Win10 —>>>

Report: Windows 10 Threshold 2 Pushed Back To November

September 3, 2015, 11:13(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

win10_logo

win10_logoWinbeta is reporting that Win10 TH2 will be released in November and not October as expected.
This is good news / bad news.
It is good news because TH2 is incredibly buggy which I attribute to the new Memory Compression feature. This is simply IMHO. This will give MS time to sort things out.
It is bad news because as I stated before, I will not release thw Win10 tweak guide until TH2. I just don’t want to continually rewrite the guide. Win10 is a perpetually ungraded OS and TH2 is being followed by Redstone in 2016.

Clean Install Windows 10 Without Upgrading

August 30, 2015, 17:37(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

win10_logo

win10_logon_logoThis has been making the rounds this weekend. Folks are claiming it works. I don’t know if it does or if the activation will stick over time.
I post this as information only.
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/64770-How-to-upgrade-from-W7-8-1-without-to-go-through-the-upgrade-process-itself-with-ease
original source? https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3i93mp/no_need_for_a_full_upgrade_to_install_10_from/

I was under the impression that Win10 activation was somehow tied to info their servers which makes me wonder if activation can be yanked.

Staggering right-hook by Ed that drops the Tin Foil Hat Brigade to the canvas?
Can they get up or is this a KO?

Windows 10 Benchmarks Roundup

August 19, 2015, 09:04(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

win10_logon_logoBelow are several benchmarks articles for Win10. They cover general use, gaming, SSD’s, and audio.
In general they found performance on par with Windows 8. Folks running new SSD’s on PCIe NVMe should look at upgrading. Ditto for people working with audio.
For the gaming benchmarks, keep in mind DX12 games are just coming out.
If you know of a benchmark article that should be included let me know.
