Windows Server 2016 StandardRecently built a new PC and had considered buying Windows 7, due to all of the chatter about Win10 always spying on you. Turns out it’s a little bit exaggerated. Yes, there are some services that want to send some info back to MS, though most can be opted out of or simply disabled.
The other reviews have made it clear this is a pirated product, so do yourself a favor and cough up the extra 20 bucks to buy it from Windows directly. I had this dvd for a week before using it because I was nervous about changing my computer and messing it up. I did a full systems backup of windows 7 on my external hard drive; then I downloaded windows 10 it took three hours with no problems. I use it on my home computer . I used it at assist reinstalled a system image from another drive but starting on the CD. Hitting ESC to get the system image to load to my computer. However the system image was incomplete. I needed to update several times to get a complete system. Am regretting it ever since I’ve gotten it. Has WAAY too many issues with updates, a lot of the time leaving the PC completely unusable. First time having to buy windows individually… More expensive than I expected… But this is the gold standard of OS, so just make life easy on yourself. Not sure why there are so many poor reviews.
I like that it is a very stable OS. This software has been roughly $100 for many years. I’ve built several PCs over the years. Have had to buy the autodesk fusion 360 tutorial videos software each time. I could pirate it, but I choose to be honest about it. Over time, this software loses it’s value by not becoming more affordable.
Apparently, we were attempting to download a multiple licence, when we had purchased a single licence. Not sure how that happened, but the fault may well be ours. The call to Microsoft helped us fixed the problem. The software has worked perfectly since. Nothing I tried would get the software to activate. Or get Ubuntu. Get even more geek credit. I really prefer having a disc. I hadn’t considered how important it would be for me, I was building a new PC with my son on a vacation where we were not near super fast internet like we had at the house . It would have taken a long time to download. I’m glad we bought this version that came with a disc.You also get the sticker with your window code to stick on the outside of the box.
Strongly recommend you be careful when buying online. Contacted Microsoft. Sorted the situation via them. Not clear where the fault lies but the product key with my disk was a dud. Nothing will therefore prevent you from working on a project. Watching sport match or chatting with friends at the same time. All product keys comes with a certificate from the manufacturer. ESET products leverage the Antimalware Scan Interface to provide enhanced malware protection for users, data, applications and workload. Product so out of date that the updates have problems keep crashing don’t buy. Installation was easy, and if you ever need to reinstall Windows, this disc can do the job easily. Comes with a CD and a Windows key that you have to scratch off to reveal.
Of course this was outside the return window. $93 spent on what turned out to be nothing. Have to go buy a license directly from MS, expensive lesson learned. I’m pleasantly surprised by my experience with Windows 10.
