Windows 10: Microsoft can disable pirated software, unauthorised hardware
Microsoft can disable any counterfeit software or hardware running Windows 10, at least this is what is being interpreted based on the updated End User License Agreement (EULA). The new terms and conditions allow Microsoft to change or update software on your computer and changes to the EULA were first spotted by PC Authority. - See more at: [link to indianexpress.com]

somebody tell me what the heck unauthorized hardware is./

And isnt it a little crazy that your OS can disable the use of certain hardware.. Isnt that going overboard with control over you. Isnt the principle of a personal computer, the idea that you have control over IT. not the other way around.

yup but guess what?
The smartphones you use and the tablets can be disabled and completely shut off from a distance.

We don't own anything, we may play with the gadgets but in the end if they decide to flip the switch then your gadgets will look like they came out of an EMP blast.

Exactly! AC who said that crap, please wake up for your own sake. You don't realize or can't, not sure which, that this is the entire reason why Microsoft FORCES paying, non-pirate, customers to download, install, and run that special checking software anytime Windows updates itself. That special checking software always checking to see if Windows is STILL LEGAL. They've been doing this since Microsoft Office 2000 or 2003, but it's been most famously used since Microsoft Windows XP.

This is PROOF that Microsoft KNOWS that damn near anything can happen to Windows to make it not legal, but never tell us, the paying customer, what happened to Windows to make it ILLEGAL. Besides, with Microsoft determining whatever is legal and what isn't as well as what's unauthorized hardware you can very well have an episode of LOST on your hard drive that you've had for years and bought it legally, but Microsoft says it's illegal now because reasons.

Your ass is going to prison for the rest of your life, or at least you're receiving a massive fine for doing something perfectly fine and legal years ago all because Microsoft declared something you did years ago that was legal is now illegal. My PSA: DO NOT GET WINDOWS 10. YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU INSTALL IT. YOU WILL NOT GET NO SYMPATHY FOR WHEN YOU GO TO PRISON! There we go! lol

Unless you have an understanding of something like WINE....forget about running any Windows software.

Yep. I find it hilariously dejecting that the Windows, Linux, and Apple Camps are so intensely polarized in favor of their Camps. They're Reasoning-Free Zones as far as I'm concerned.

The Linux and Apple morans seem to have no concept that people just WANT IT TO WORK when they take it out of the box and are not the least bit tech savvy.

Also, Apple though has a HUUUUUUUGE opportunity right now to take over Microsofts front and backend office products and server space.
Win 10 is an abomination and if Apple were smart it would take advantage of ANOTHER Microsoft O/S coming out and self destructing.

Win 7 is going to be around a long time.

Just make sure you REMOVE the Win 10 telemetry (Big Brother) patches that were stealthily pushed by Microsoft into Win7.

Thread: Windows 7 and 8 are now being updated to get Telemetry, same tracking as Windows 10

Remove these patches.....

Windows 7 and 8 updates you probably don't want in your system:

First run Windows update and get available updates, if you see these in the list hide them. Then...

kb 3021917

kb 3050265

kb 3035583

KB 2952664

KB 2976978

KB 2990214

KB 3068708

KB 3022345

KB 3075851


wusa /uninstall /KB:xxxxxxx


Uninstall from Admin Command Prompt by adding the KB number (only) where the xxxxxxx are in the above line.


Example: wusa /uninstall /KB:2952664

Several may not be on your machine but the process will simply tell you they are not installed.

Run Windows update again after completing the uninstalls and hide any of the above that are offered again.
