• I migrated from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

  • I directly upgraded my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. This is not a fresh installation and so my notes on Windows 10 are not complete.
  • See Windows 8.1 configuration for the starting point of my modifications.

• Windows 10 installation from USB
• Windows 10 console utilities

• Windows 10 touchpad gestures

Notes ∞

• 2018-08-21 - SSL 3.0 is vulnerable to the POODLE attack, and a recent Windows 10 update had it disabled by default. See RFC 7568.

• 2018-08-09 - Windows timeline (windows-tab) shows private browsing tabs.

Configuration ∞

• Windows 10 configuration

• Windows 10 Cortana uninstallation (no longer possible)

Stuff ∞

• devmgmt.msc for the device manager.

• services.msc for the services.

Thoughts on the upgrade ∞

• A "free" upgrade. I wonder what happens to the license of a 7/8 user.
• Only good for as long as the device is supported. Which means for only as long as they want.

• Requires a permanent internet connection. Must not disable Windows update.

During the upgrade:

• Holy fuck did it take a long time.

• A lot of insulting "Oh this will be quick" .. "almost done" .. "go fuck yourself" text.

Thoughts on Windows 10 ∞

• I can click the lower-left Windows icon, view "All apps" (whatever an "app" is..) and see a big list. Now, Microsoft, if I have n-1 programs installed, HOW THE FUCK DO I FIND ANYTHING? Scroll through n-1 entries?

Holographic crap ∞

I have not, and almost certainly won't ever, test this..

• Now I know why they bought Minecraft.
• More computing power than a laptop. Which means it will cost as much as one.

• Half of the item-development shit won't be possible by everyday people. This all reminds me of EverQuest Landmark[doesn't exist].

Tricks and Tips ∞

• Using Windows 10 virtual desktops
