Is there any way to return QuickLaunch to Win11 taskbar without third-party software? I've tried ExplorerPatcher but it changes too many other things while I want to only get this one (and maybe return the old file explorer if it won't remove tabs in command line)

Hello friends,

Can Windows 10 be emulated in VirtualBox installed on a Windows 7 host?

>>101618850
If you can get Virtualbox installed on 7 then you should be able to install a 10 VM on it fine.

>>101618854
So, unless I install over 192GB of RAM, why would I use Windows 10 over Windows 7 with Windows 10 inside of VirtualBox?
Are there compatibility issues with the emulation layer?

>>101618881
Well if you want to use 10 inside of a VM on 7 you'd probably want GPU passthrough for a more close to bare metal experience.

>>101618890
>GPU passthrough
How does that work?

>>101618908
Watch a Youtube video about it

>>101618917
Is it hard to set up?

>>101618925
Well for one you need two graphics cards in your PC.

>>101618929
Could I just allocate a discrete GPU to the guest OS and use the integrated graphics for the host OS?

>>101618938
I think so but it won't be the best of experiences performance wise.

>>101618992
Why not?
If the graphics intensive programs are only kept on the guest OS, would the performance really be gimped?

Any recommendations for a third-party program that can let me select different files and easily create a new folder with them inside? I used to have on windows 10 but I forgot what it was. I'm on 11 now.

I recently put together a new PC, installed windows 10 and pirated photoshop CS6.
Photoshop is installed on my nvme and despite that is being slow as shit and I'm not sure why. Could it be the program or something else?

Also I'm using a logitech wireless G305 mouse and it occasionally jumps across the screen when I'm using it. Not all the time just occasionally but I know it's going to be a problem when I start gaming with it. What would be causing this potentially? Is it a driver I don't have installed that I don't know about? Is it just because it's a wireless mouse an I'm fucked? It shouldn't be this bad....

Does anyone have a downloadlink for W10 IoT 22H2 build 19045? does it exist at all?

>>101619857
Specifically just 10 IoT and not IoT LTSC? Massgrave has one.

>>101619922
Ah, thanks. I'll run with that for now. Ideally though, any expectation that build 19045 will see an LTSC or not?

im about to build a new pc, should i try out the w11 ltsc or continue with w10?

>>101620018
The last version of 10 LTSC (which is 2021) will stay frozen on 21H2, so no.

>>101620065
If it's new parts then yeah try out IoT LTSC 2024.

>>101620277
is there any benefit to w11 if the cpu is regular one with all performance cores?

>>101620289
Well if you don't have an e-core CPU besides that it has a couple features like DirectStorage, Auto HDR and native HTTPS-over-DNS which 10 doesn't have.
I'm guessing you don't have an e-core one because of all the stupid shit that Intel's been up to, right? Ryzens seem to be the future for now.

>>101620381
There's X-Mouse Button Control if you want to change what your mouse buttons do without using a closed source control panel.

>>101620373
At this point you might as well use IoT LTSC 2024 which is frozen on 24H2 but with an 11 backend instead of 10.
IoT LTSC 2024 has no restrictions and acts more like 10 then it does 11 besides the 11 UI/SFX.

Basically just don't install anything that you can't verify the hashes of through the Visual Studio platform, you can make a free account to view the hashes here - https://my.visualstudio.com/downloads

After my weekend with Win7 + Supermium I've come to realize that it's perfectly usable for people that just browse the web and occasionally plays old vidya. Unfortunately it's no longer viable for any serious work.

>>101622202
If you have an old 7 machine you could easily use Supermium or Thorium to continue using the internet with it, but why bother and just install IoT LTSC 2021 on it. And replace the HDD with an SSD while you're at it.

>>101622234
>If you have an old 7 machine
Yup, Phenom II, been shitposting a lot 'bout it
>you could easily use Supermium to continue using the internet with it
Already did that, it's amazing. The problem relies in non-web applications for productivity like design, development tools and other shit
>but why bother and just install IoT LTSC 2021 on it
I already have modern boxes with modern Windows/Linux
>And replace the HDD with an SSD while you're at it
Yup, Win7 is running from an SSD, blazing fast

>>101622317
Well if it's a hobby thing then do what you wish I guess. I can imagine running 7 off an SSD to be incredibly responsive.
Also have you looked into VxKex? It's a 7 kernel extender that allows certain 10/11 programs to run on 7:
https://github.com/commandcontrolQ/VxKex/releases/tag/Version1.1.1.1375

>>101622361
>Also have you looked into VxKex?
Interesting, will check it out. Thanks.

>>101622361
Ahh forgot to add, I also have XP under the same SSD and it's even more responsive, feels like running from RAM

>>101622380
The original git for it was actually randomly deleted kinda recently so this is a reupload. Some are saying that MS themselves banhammered it because it allowed you to continue using 7 in some way.

>>101622392
Oh I see, how interesting, with the ability to run VSCode you can use Win7 for programming and a VM for execution/debugging of any language. Very nice.

Not really relevant, but what browser do you guys use? I've mostly used Mozilla on my W10 laptop, planning on trying out Librewolf for my W11 PC.

>>101622685
Librewolf isn't really that different from Firefox. It's just Firefox with a bunch of privacy/telemetry settings pre-enabled/disabled and UBO added as a standard module.
I use Firefox by the way. The only other browsers out there I'd willingly try using are Brave, Ungoogled-Chromium or Vivaldi.

>>101622685
I switched to Vivaldi. Everything actually works properly for a Chromium browser. Every other browser has various issues that drive me insane. Brave has MPO issues on Windows which causes hw acceleration corruption. Firefox has god awful font rendering and inferior hw accel performance to boot. Edge is hyper aggressive with its annoying UX.

>>101622776
>>101622810
I see. Are browser benchmarks like Speedometer 3.0 a good parameter to compare browsers? I tend to saddle mine with extensions and scripts, so I feel like speed is the only thing that matters.

>>101622830
I don't like using Speedometer because its a synthetic benchmark for html5. A browser is more than just html5. It's a subset of multiple hooks that need to link together simultaneously and shit can break or hit the fan quick in a chain. Like my MPO issue with Brave isn't going to show up in Speedometer but it affects literally everything I do from alt tab to clicking a tab.

>>101622776
>Ungoogled-Chromium
Does anyone know if there's a way to automatically clear history when you close the browser?

>>101621623
You need to be iot oem to be able to verify this with microsoft. Direct oemsoc links (now expired) were once posted by massgrave to prove authenticity.

I like Vivaldi because it carries on the spirit of the old forward-thinking Opera from the 2000s, even made/run by the same original CEO.

>>101622925
And would you look at that. This SHA-256 is exactly the same as the one on rg-adguard. Get fucked.

>>101619197

>>101622685
I'm a settingsfag and like tons of options for customization so I'm using Vivaldi.

>>101622987
>You need to be iot oem
So the hash is not publicly accessible as I already showed
>Direct oemsoc links (now expired) were once posted by massgrave to prove authenticity.
>Link expired 5/27/2024 8:27:04 AM
Where was this link posted??? Sharing a temp access link that's open for 5 minutes, months after the ISO initially circulated... yeah bulletproof authenticity.
Just to be clear, Massgrave is an excellent resource for every other item which can be independently verified, but rg-adguard and it's 60 mirrors should never be viewed as responsible sources of verification for anyone who respects basic security principles.

>is that w11 enterprise iot ltsc 2024 any good? i want to play games
No, it's a buggy preview release that is unverifiable without OEM access to hashes. Create a stripped down iso using a standard edition or do post-install debloats. Official W11 IoT LTSC release is October, so not too far off.

Don't listen to retards telling everyone to use rg-adguard to verify this specific iso, I've already shown that it's officially unverifiable here:

Is it possible to set manual updates on win11 IoT?

The guide shows how to do it on win10, but win11 has different options.

Windows:
>.exe and/or .msi

Linux:
>Flatpaks
>Appimages
>.sh scripts
>.elf
>.py

I'm having a hard time understanding programs/apps in Linux. With Windows, programs are installed via exe and managed/removed in the programs list. But Linux has so many installer types, and programs may or may not be listed and aren't as easy to uninstall? How do you make sense of it all?

>>101622685
Firefox (Win10, 11, and Android)
Been using it for many years. I had to add Brave because Firefox broke upload image functionality in eBay.

On a separate machine running Winhoes 7, I use Supermium.

>>101626211
only distribute deb or rpm, everything else is bloat

>>101622234
I strongly doubt that the few W7 users on /g/ are running the OS on spinning rust.

>>101626211
sh scripts are the Linux equivalent of .bat scripts, .py scripts are Python scripts (not Linux exclusive stuff at all), try sticking to deb packages and flatpacks.

Also, distributions get various installers, like apt in Ubuntu (some webpages mention the older version: apt-get)

>>101626211
Whatever info you look up regarding Linux, stick to what is relevant to your distro first and foremost.

>>101626211
Windows programs aren't always compiled into binaries (.exe files), like Stable Diffusion as one example of something without an .exe installer. Then we start getting into how Linux and Windows overlap.

And make sure you follow guides and directions related to your distro, or you'll get confused and run into errors and stuff. It's not hard to get the hang of.

Hello, I am a retard and this is the first time I'm doing this, but I have a prebuilt with windows 11 and I want to switch it to 10 ltsc. I'm curious, about the windows key activation.

If I wanted to switch back to regular Windows 10 using the iso from microsoft, will windows be activated with the regular key stored on the hardware already?

I assume that for 10 iot ltsc, you are going to need to rely on MAS?

Windows 11 to 10 does not work very well. Driver incopatabilites and CPU's with little cores don't work great on 10. Just wait for 11 LTSC to be released later this year.

>>101628863

Accessing my network shares works out of the box on regular Windows 10. The LTSC Iot version came without that hex value and I had to add it manually.

>>101628756

Also if you are going to do this, backup your drivers through the command line.

Windows 11 HWID will most likely not work on 10. Just install 2012 LTSC IoT and activate with MAS.

Once you activate it, you can install the iso again and it'll be activated through hardware ID.

>Flatpaks
Package manager for sandboxing apps similar to how Android works. Kind of garbage, and doesn't actually add security most of the time despite being made for sandboxing (most apps will just blanket add most default permissions anyway). Also inconsistent with any theming/ricing you might have. Avoid if you can.
>Appimages
It's just the entire program (and dependencies) bundled together, like a macOS .app file but worse. Sometimes okay.
>.sh scripts
These are just to run the actual binaries, like a .bat on Windows. If a program tells you to use one that's included, then use that.
>.elf
The binaries themselves, like an .exe on Windows. But unlike Windows, they usually don't have any file extension, i.e. "ls" in "/bin/ls". This format is standard across many other UNIX's. If using a graphical environment, you usually shouldn't have to run these directly.
>.py
This is a Python script; you need the Python runtime installed to run it. If you're running a major distro, this will very likely already be installed. For some reason, a lot of Linux software is written, or otherwise has a dependency, on Python.

If you're a beginner you can safely ignore just about all of these and stick to your package manager, assuming your distro has the software you need. If not, you can probably add a repo/overlay to find it, or install from a .deb/.rpm/PKGBUILD/etc.

Hello all,
a simple question. I've installed W10 IoT Enterprise LTSC.
Had to download the localized (italian) ISO, then used the "temporary" code I found on MAS instructions to make it an IoT version, then activated with online command/HWID, always as per instructions found here. Everything is fine as it is.
Now, a question: If I am to reinstall again, the ISO is not an IoT by itself due the localization language (at least this is what the system information says), when I reconnect to the internet, will the activation be successful by itself or I have to do an activation all over again?
In other words, I am afraid that using the temporary code to make it an IoT will fault the online autmatic activation.
Thanks

Your current hardware ID gotten from MAS is associated with IoT LTSC, so if you install it again with the italian LTSC ISO then it won't activate. After you change to IoT LTSC via MAS's edition changer via its extras menu or you do what you did and just enter the code into the activation settings it should re-activate if using the same PC.

can i clone a windows (10) install to a bigger drive with just e.g. default clonezilla?
or will it throw a hissy fit if i don't do some special things or use some special software

>>101635200
Yes, it's pretty stragithforward, clone from device to device

>>101635200
Easiest way to clone Windows drives is Macrium Reflect 7. It's in the OP under useful programs.

Well I can't think of whatever other reason why your machine doesn't feel good to use when the specs are so decent.

I mean you can always just uninstall it after you've cloned the drive you want to clone.

This is why I prefer clonezilla overall

MAS seems too good to be legit

>>101637668
The scripts literally just use included Windows tools to do what it does. It's just written/combined by some very smart people.

>>101637668
>MAS seems too good to be legit
As long as you download and run it using the traditional method (instead of fetching the script automatically in console) you're good. Have at a look at the scripts for yourself, they're pretty unremarkable, just a lot of clever automation. Microsoft also doesn't care, they'd rather have an unpaid user than no user.
With that being said, I would recommend only the HWID method and if you need to activate a version that isn't IoT [LTSC], simply use a generic activation key and then you can use HWID still. Windows Server still requires KMS methods afaik which I and many others are not a fan of.
>but are the ISOs from Massgrave legit?
Yes, but don't use that rg-adguard rubbish to verify the hashes. Use the official Microsoft file list and match it to your iso's hash with a free account here - https://my.visualstudio.com/downloads

i'm trying to install windows 10. all i did was put the .iso on a flash drive using the latest rufus version that works on windows 7, install it to an HDD, and try to run the "Safe" .reg file here in safe mode:
https://rentry.org/ltsc#registry-files-for-easy-services-configuration

it simply doesn't work. pic related. i even tried putting the .iso on my flash drive using ventoy instead, but the default boot didn't work on my bios (was stuck on a grey flashing underscore top left of the screen on a black background), and the "WIMBOOT" alternative boot got as far as partitioning the HDD before upon clicking "New", it didn't provide the same option as rufus did (it didn't make a 50mb or something partition alongside the big one like rufus did), and was unable to continue. the guide says running this .reg file is supposed to disable windows update, but after restarting to boot normally, the error prevented it from doing even that

i imagine i can just go down the list and disable everything manually, but besides that being annoying, with this being the literal first thing i try, and it failed, i'm wondering if the install is already FUBAR. maybe i can try installing the latest version of rufus (one i couldn't on my w7 install) using this completely fresh w10 install, and put the iso on the flash drive that way, to see if it fixes this? i guess i will if no one replies

Pick one:
a) Windows 7
b) Windows 10 LTSC
c) Windows 11 Enterprise
d) Linux Mint 22

i just did this, and same shit. so i guess i'll just go through the list manually and disable shit, even though it's annoying. dunno how i managed this on a clean install on a .iso that has been unchanged since the guide was last edited

Why is Python so shit at updating on Windows? It literally creates a whole new separate installation instead of upgrading existing files.

after stressing about this for hours as a tech illiterate, trying a right click > properties method to gain permission, and trying powershell commands to run .reg files (none of which worked, and i couldn't even figure out how to properly paste the multi-line command i found), i opened the .reg in notepad myself and realized i could just split it up, and narrow down which one(s) caused the failure, if only a single one could cause none of them to work. turns out it was only:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TrkWks]
"Start"=dword:00000004

that didn't work. everything else worked. even going to that path in regedit manually and turning "Start" from "2" to "4", it returns an error. pic related. to transcribe it for anyone who may search this:

Registry Editor

Cannot import D:\programs\svc_safe_disable.reg: Not all data was successfully written to the Registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes, or you have insufficient privileges to perform this operation.

, and

Error Editing Value

Cannot edit Start: Error writing the value's new contents.

. other tags: windows install w10 rentry github safe

literally all i did was install "W10 Enterprise IoT LTSC 2021" and run the "safe" .reg file from the rentry. i am at a complete loss as to how i am the only person to face this error for doing so

Setting up Windows for the first time on a new PC and I see the guide suggests disabling TPM/SecureBoot to get rid of the Windows 11 upgrade notices. That’d be nice, but what else does disabling them do? Would like to avoid any futures issues because of something now.

>>101638983
>>101642843
i was able to change the value of the key that caused me so much grief for hours by following this guide:
https://www.howtogeek.com/262464/how-to-gain-full-permissions-to-edit-protected-registry-keys/

except, at the part where it says:
>in the "Enter the object name to select" box, type the name of your Windows user account (or your email address if you have a Microsoft account)
i remembered a youtube tutorial i watched doing a similar thing when i was trying to make "svc_safe_disable.reg" work:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq-_W33f45c

and simply typed "everyone" instead of anything specific. i followed the instructions as written otherwise, and it worked. so now i have passed step one (1) of installing windows 10. i remain at a loss as to how i am the only one who faced this error after literally installing and doing the literal first thing on the list otherwise, but whatever, i guess

is there any way to get better font rendering on firefox?

Is there really no way to fix a monitor to a specific workspace so I can freely flick between them on primary but windows on secondary don't move?

>>101643594
You have to mess around with the gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode in the about:config.

One of the reasons I switched to Vivaldi is that I hate Firefox default font rendering.

I think almost every version of Windows is ugly because Microsoft NEVER goes all the way with the design changes. They change the explorer, taskbar, and start menu and its all fucking modern then you dive deeper into the menus or open a program and the UI completely falls apart and its some legacy UI or some holdover from the Vista days or worse, the DOS days. It just looks fucking dogshit.

>>101646134
we're being friendly towards each other, that's what matters

>>101646134
It's not friendly because we disagree on what UI looks good?

for old computers is it better to use windows 10 iot ltsc or linux?

>>101646155
The problem is because of how Windows is designed. There can never be consistency because every individual thing in the OS needs to intentionally changed to match the new UI.

>>101646209
Linux is lighter on the machne.
If it's old but powerful enough, Windows 10 IoT LTSC should be fine

>>101646230
we are talking 2015/2016
and arent some linux desktop environments even heavier than windows 10?

>>101646236
Some are yes.
And if it's 2016 you should be fine running IoT LTSC, especially if the machine came with 10 in the first place.

well after disabling everything the guide told me to before connecting to the internet, upon connecting to the internet (and activating windows), windows update doesn't work. it does list how to enable windows update if you used the "extreme" .reg in the link in the post of mine i'm responding to, but, i mean, i didn't use the "extreme" .reg, nor even the "moderate" one; i used the "safe" one. so i don't know what to do. the guide also recommending i install drivers and programs before connecting to the internet and updating windows (merely due to their placement in the guide being earlier) was questionable to me, but i felt after disabling all the services i was told to, i may as well. but now that technically increases the scope of what might be responsible for this

i still don't understand how i'm just doing the bare minimum, but facing problems. i will try to get windows update working tomorrow
