Alright, so I needed Windows 7 for gayming and video editing. I've had this partition with windows on it for a little bit but it was 32bit. I decided to just wipe it and start again.
Let's get some quick context to the front
This is a fresh installation of Win 7
7200RPM Hard drive
Almost never used drive
Not pirated
First off, I couldn't even install it onto the HDD the normal way off a USB. I had to burn the ISO on the hard drive and then install it that way. Thanks Microsoft.
I install it, my graphics drivers, and wifi drivers and i'm off.
So just trying to update my fucking system was a HUGE hassle. Windows doesn't offer an ISO with all updates packed in, so I had to download 300+ updates at one time. The thing is, Windows update system is so messed up and shotty, it won't update without other updates which require this update which require this update. Amazing stuff.
After that, trying to download anything was a huge hassle. Windows took 2 minutes to start up while on my 2006 Compaq it took 60.
I couldn't even play games at the end. DirectX couldn't sign some cert file and I did everything I could to make it. I couldn't even install fucking .NET for sony vegas or literally anything that runs on Windows because it always got "corrupted".
Also, about those updates? It stopped at 64% and wouldn't download them anymore. With the error "Windows is trying to install other updates right now. Try again in a few minutes"
I'm going to Windows 10. Wish me luck
