What do you guys think of Windows 10 for businesses? Has anyone here done it, and how did it go? I feel pretty neutral about it overall (Bitlocker seems good in case someone leaves their laptop on a train) but we have about 80 machines on Windows 7 and I'm wondering whether we should take the free upgrade before it goes away.

Does going from Windows 7 Home to Windows 10 Enterprise require first upgrading to Windows 10 Pro, and is it at all worth going Enterprise to disable Cortana/Store/etc as a home user if I'm in the EU and can get cheapo keys second hand?

I fixed a really annoying problem with Windows Update over the weekend that sfc/dism/etc didn't fix that I eventually tracked back to SYSTEM losing permissions on some folders in %windir% Your issue may be totally different, but worth a look.

Bob NewSCART posted:I ended up saying gently caress it and reformatting both my drives and starting fresh because it seemed like whatever was causing trouble was deep rooted. How did you solve that permissions issue btw jack? I made a new admin account (not sure if that was necessary in the end), manually gave it full access to the files in the folder WU couldn't write to according to the error logs, deleted them, deleted and recreated the empty folder, then stepped back up and manually added SYSTEM back onto the parent folder.

Is there really no way to disable Bing/web searching in the start menu in 1803?

Having bought a Windows 10 Enterprise key off eBay, is there anywhere I can get a legit ISO without a Volume Licensing account? Alternatively, can I go Pro using the media creation tool then upgrade to Enterprise via Change Product Key under Activation?

I've read that you can't upgrade evaluation installs in a couple of places - does that definitely work?

I'm trying to disable Bing/Web search in the Start Menu on 1809. I have GPOs as follows, and I've confirmed with gpresult that they're applying correctly, but I'm still getting Bing/Web results when I search for local stuff. Allow Cortana: Disabled Do not allow web search: Enabled Don't search the web or display web results in Search: Enabled Does anyone have any ideas, please?

What can I type into my start menu, if anything, to get to what was "Sound" in Windows 7 where I have playback and recording tabs and can change defaults, test etc? At the moment I'm going through control panel every time.

Klyith posted:open the classic control panel, drag the sound icon onto your desktop to make a shortcut, then pin that to the start menu Will try this, thanks. Doctor_Fruitbat posted:Oh yeah, you're right, I checked on my work laptop but it isn't on 1903 yet, but my personal laptop is and it doesn't have a control panel option either. Yeah it's extremely dumb. Having recently upgraded, the start menu search in general is just absolutely terrible when compared to Windows 7.

If you install DisplayCAL it has a profile loader program with some kind of workaround to still operate correctly. Windows10.txt But yeah I actually did install it but then couldn't work out where to load profiles. (I may be extremely dumb.)
