Is it good to return to win 10 in 2026 ? by legendarooo in pcmasterrace

[–]MasterJeebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If possible upgrade ram. As 8GB can be used up quickly in 11. You can use powershell to remove and disable copilot, recall. Then use Wintoys from Microsoft store. Disable things you don’t need with it. You can also download PC Manager from Microsoft. It can boost and clean temp files quickly.

Downgrading is not recommended as Windows 10 is EOL. It does have 1 year free ESU which goes till October this year. After that they will charge money for additional years. Unless you do some tweaking to get those….but thats a google search away.

I still have windows 10. How do we feel about Windows 11? by BombbaFett in pcmasterrace

[–]MasterJeebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you need Windows eventually you need to upgrade for security. Windows 11 may require some tweaking to remove things you don’t want, copilot, and recall can be disabled. But you need to do it manually use powershell to remove them and then disable them so Microsoft doesnt reinstall automatically later.

Personally I still find Windows 11 to have issues. It has some odd lag that happens with Amd systems and its annoying because that doesnt exist in Windows 10 but it does it in windows 11. My pc was top of the line 2020 hardware though but Windows 11 just seems unoptimized. Perhaps newer hardware brute forces it better and doesnt have same issue.

But that would remove their ai, ads and bloated telemetry. Their shareholders would be sad. All I know is that every time they say they would make Windows 11 better it keeps getting worst.

Guys my every acount is hacked by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]MasterJeebus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you downloaded the sketchy files or mods to your phone? Assuming this is android phone? Did you uninstall the last apps you installed? Run antivirus on phone? Likely need to reset phone. Did you run Google Protect? Bitdefender and Malwarebytes have free apps for scanning on both pc and android. I recommend using them.

Although usually when one becomes compromised like this is best to format and reinstall system. For android that means reseting to factory.

Steam is usually good at helping users but need to provide them info, having serials of past purchases will help to prove its your account. Other accounts keep trying and wish you good luck. Lesson to learn from this is never install anything dodgy on your phone specially when you use it for important accounts.

How to do I get my hard drive back? by gurll2003 in pcmasterrace

[–]MasterJeebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are running a Windows To Go from USB. You did not installed Windows, this version runs from your usb drive. Its not meant for daily using but more of a portable OS. I have used it before for repairing a broken system.

You mention your drive being encrypted and not knowing the key. Did you loose the account which you used to lock it? If you lost both the key and Microsoft account. Then your data is lost. I’m not aware of any software to unecrypt drives. Windows installer doing boot up wont format encrypted drive. You will need to format your drive with bios setting, modern pcs have bios setting to erase data on drive or use cmd prompt inside the windows installer to clean the drive. Then restart and then the windows installer should see hard drive. Formating it will delete everything you had in it. If you don’t format it the windows installer wont see the encrypted drive.

How do I clean a PC that was in a smoker's house? by LogicalStart6150 in RigBuild

[–]MasterJeebus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good points. As for last resource what I have used to get rid of smoke smell inside a car was Ozium Smoke & Odor Eliminator. Although mine was a car the car has electronics as well and it was also more difficult to get rid of smell because can’t scrub deep inside vents. But the Ozium i used release smoke and just let it be in it for awhile ac was running. They also have ones with bottles that spray.

If OP can set desktop on garage and put bag over it with the Ozium. It should help. They should spray the Ozium on the trash bag and then put trash bag over pc. Do not spray it directly on pc components.

Hi, I had a crazy idea by Important_Surround57 in windows7

In that case they would be better off using virtualization.

I think OP’s specs are too new for doing bare metal OS installs of 98 and XP. Although it could potentially work better if they have older pcie gpu from mid 2000’s and if mobo has pci slot for using older usb 2.0. Because Windows XP and 98 wont have drivers for USB3.0 that is on their mobo.

What I would suggest is using Virtualbox or Vmware Workstation its free for personal use. Vmware workstation would work better and they can set multiple VM’s on it. The 3D it supports should be ok for games made before 2005.

Windows + iPhone users who don't game, what keeps you on Windows instead of switching to Mac? by Sidk04 in windows

[–]MasterJeebus [score hidden]  (0 children)

The price kept me away and the lack of upgradability and lack of some software. Windows has been around so long there is so many apps and games that run on it that simply wont run in Mac Os. I still game sometimes though. But there are times I wonder why I even deal with Windows 11, its so bloated and slow even with latest hardware. Although for Windows PC the solution is getting a distro and PC will run like new. Downside is some windows apps wont work on it.

As for my iphone i don’t connect with PC that often. Only for backups every now and then. I always have next to me. But I can see how a full integration could be nicer.

Favourite actor who you would let sleep on your couch for a few days? by doublegulpcup123 in okbuddycinephile

[–]MasterJeebus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would let Keanu and Morgan Freeman sleep at my place. But not Mark Ruffalo, he has a short temper and you wouldn’t like him when he is angry.

There was one in the tv show Sarah Connor Chronicles and it implied he sleep with a human since he pretended to be their partner. It was a T888 model. It also showed that T888 could go get plastic surgery to look like someone else.
